Madshrimps Forum Madness - Review: Unreal Tournament 2003

Review: Unreal tournament 2003:

First impression:

After I played the demo for 2-3 weeks I finally bought the game on 4 October 2002 (the release date in Belgium). It took while to install (3 cd’s) but when it was finally done, I double-clicked on the ‘Play Unreal tournament 2003’ icon. My first words: ooooow foook! The menu and the music drove me mad!

Holy cow:

When I finished setting up my config I joined a server and started fraggin’ like hell. The game-play is really :mad: . For example: when you’re duelling with another person you can jump over him and launch some rockets in his ***. Another change is that you can’t use the translocator as many times as you want. When you used it 5 times in a row it has to ‘recharge’. The maps friggin’ nice and the graphs even nicer! Even on myGeforce2 mx400.

Changes:

I already said that you can’t use the translocator as many times as you want. But that’s not the only thing that’s changed.

I already said that you can’t use the translocator as many times as you want. But that’s not the only thing that’s changed.

A list of the biggest changes:
- Double jump
- Translocator
- A new super weapon : the Ion Painter
- Adrenaline points (you can use them for some special moves)
- Maps (Duh)
- Weapons (some new weapons, but all new skins for the old
weapons for Unreal Tournament)
- Engine
- Player skins
- Bomb run (There are 2 teams and you got to get your ball in to
weapons for Unreal Tournament)
- …

Single-player:

In this mode you’ve got to fight against your opponent. When you win a match you unlock a map. Then you’ve got to unlock that one etc. The more maps you’ve unlocked, the harder it will be to kill your opponent.
You have to do this in all the game modes. When you’ve unlocked all the maps you’ll get some special player skins. This isn’t the best single player, but ut2k3 isn’t a single player game ;).

Multi-player:

In this mode you can choose between Capture the flag (CTF), Domination (DOM), Bombing run (BR), Death match (DM) or Team death match (TDM).My favourites are CTF and TDM. This part of the game ROCKS! To give you an example: my record is 230 frags in 30 minutes. This is awesome!
Many people think that you don’t have to use your brains when you’re playing ut2k3. Because you just have to shoot some rockets in his direction and he’s dead anyway (because the blast radius of a rocket is quite big). But when you’re counting on fraggin’ him that way he’ll shoot some rockets up your ***. You really have to follow your opponent and you’ve got to try to guess where he’s going to land. Then you’ve got to shoot your rockets BEFORE he lands to the place you think he’s going to land. This isn’t easy! But with a little practice you can learn everything. And practice isn’t a big problem because I’m kinda addicted to the game ;).

To give you an idea of the graphs of the game, here are some ingame pics:

/me is Godlike =-)

Conclusion:

This game ROCKS! I loved it from the very first second I played it.
This is what you have to do: get some cash or borrow some y from your parents, jump on your bike/in your car and get your *** to the local game-store.
You’ve got to have this game if you like first person shooters!

I was bored ;)
My english isn't that good so it's possible that i made some faults in this review.

Hope you liked it!

/edit

Kweet dat het al een tijdje uit is, maar één review over een oud game is beter als geen review imo :p en ik verveelde mij..
