    High-tec, next-gen old-school gaming, this has to be the most exciting thing I've played for years. It's a little like controlling Dante from DMC sometimes with the exciting jumps and flips combined with awesome firepower, and I just LOVE the 3rd person perspective, even with ranged weapons. This beauty delivers fast, exciting and adrenaline soaked combat, with a sackful of High-tec, next-gen old-school gaming, this has to be the most exciting thing I've played for years.

This beauty delivers fast, exciting and adrenaline soaked combat, with a sackful of options (40 arenas!!!) and groovy weapons I just know I'm going to grow to love. It's Unreal, but not as we knew it, and it's gaming magic.… Expand

    Do the people who gave it a 9 and below play the same game i did? With options up the wazoo and many different combinations of combat. Unreal (pun intended) stages, awesome graphics and great offline and online gameplay this is the sleeper of the year!

    Truly awesome! The graphics are great, the sound is powerful and it runs as smooth as a buttered pig on an ice rink. A definite must for any Xbox collection.

    This game is just so cool. I'm only 14, but it's the best game I've played next to halo1/2 and gears of war.really great but when unlocking characters, Malcolm doesn't unlock which is a bit crap because this means you can't unlock Gorge either! please can someone help me!( I must have won matches against human opponents in each game type at least 100 times!).

    This game is AWESOME!!! I didn't like the last unreal tournament for the xbox, probably because i thought it had a steep learning curve and i found it difficult. This game however has an excellent tutorial which takes you through many of the moves in a gentle way. I'm not trying to say this game is easy, because it isn't, but it is very rewarding when you do win a stage. This game is AWESOME!!!

One thing i do particularly like is the fact that the different game modes are explained very well during the tutorial/ introduction. thrilling, tough (but fair) and with REALLY great graphics - this game is very highly recommended.… Expand

    This isn't merely an evolution of the franchise -- this is Unreal with the dial turned up to 11.

    An ambitious and largely successful attempt to meld the accuracy of traditional firstperson battling with the extra spatial agility and awareness afforded by thirdperson movement. It does feel slightly overdone, but not to the point of obscuring its offering of intensity and flighty action. [May 2005, p.90]

    If you want something fresh, with almost endless replay value (so long as you have Live or some friends nearby) then I can do nothing but strongly recommend this title.
