One of the most highly acclaimed PC titles arrives on the console for the first time ever - be prepared because this one's so hot, it might melt your TV screen!

When Unreal Tournament made its debut, it received untold adulation for its gameplay design, advanced AI and stunning graphics. Things can only go one step further on PS2. The game is basically a 3D shooter, but you can expect to see a whole host of unexpected features in the PS2 version. For example, the multi-player modes can be played with computer-controlled AI (or 'bots') or with other friends (either through player split screen, or with four PS2s hooked up via i-Link).

The Liandri Mining Corporation has made its fortune by hosting tri-cast fights but as the popularity of these contests grows so does the brutality. And now that "consentual murder" has been legalised, the "Professional League" has been formed, made up of the most violent and skilled warriors who gather to take part in the "Grand Tournament". You play one of the warriors selected to fight in this vicious extravaganza, but your opponent is the deadly unknown quantity who goes by the name of Xan Krigor. No one has ever seen his true form as he always battles in a cybernetic shell, but one thing is definitely known about him: he is one formidable fighter.

Rise to the occasion and steal the "Grand Tournament" title from Xan - then you too will know how it feels to be an undisputed champion . . .

FOUR MAJOR GAME TYPES including DOMINATION. Your team earns points for controlling locations scattered on the map. Play team games in single player mode by including incredibly skilled virtual opponents or teammates ('bots') who know how to play the game and how to work for you or against you for an exciting single player contest like no other!

ASSAULT. It's all about teamwork as you and your team attack or defend gorgeously detailed bases. You'll get a clear list of objectives so you know exactly what to do. Seven exciting Assault environments including a high-speed train, a naval frigate, a futuristic station in the ocean floor, a D-Day like beachfront attack and more!

CAPTURE THE FLAG: just like you used to play as a kid...only now you have Rocket Launchers and ASMD Shockrifles. Give orders to your bots or human teammates (e.g. hold a position, cover me, get the flag, or defend).

DEFEND: Online or off, with bots or humans, this is adrenalized 3D action at its most pure. Taunt your opponents and cheer your team at the click of the mouse or by typing on a keyboard.

Spine-rattling action online or off. Team games can include any combination of bots or humans. Network or Internet games can be configured to start off with bots and remove them one by one as human opponents join in to ensure the action never stops. "Mutators" allow you to customize games to your own fragadelic taste! Whether you have 5 minutes to play or 5 hours...it's never the same game twice! Comprehensive tutorial levels. Never played a multiplayer game before? Too intimidated to go online? No problem. Every game type comes complete with a voice-narrated Tutorial Level to ensure you know what to do before you begin your blood ascent of the Tournament Ladder.

Single player mode starts you off customizing yourself and your bot team from one of 300 possible combinations of skins, models, and skill levels. You and your team must fight your way through progressively harder competitions with different game types against the fiercest bots in the galaxy. Play practice sessions using any level in the game with up to 16 bots!

Rampage through 50 levels with jaw-droppingly gorgeous graphics and high-resolution textures that set a new standard for 3D action games. Supports the latest 3D accelerators using Direct3D, OpenGL, Glide and S3 Textures Compression. Unreal Tournament features high-performance software rendering that DOES NOT REQUIRE A 3D ACCELERATOR CARD.

Also includes 3D audio support using EAX, A3D and DirectSound. A treat for your eyes and ears!

Detailed game statistics can be viewed in your web browser after each match - whether single-player or multiplayer. See how you did against individual opponents, find your most efficient weapon, check category leaders, pick-ups utilized, and much more. Want to see how you rank against the world? Log your stats globally through NGWorldStats web site. Set your web browser to http://UT.ngworldstats.com for details.

Getting in the game is easy. The entire user interface is Windows-familiar and friendly. An Internet game is just a few mouse clicks away. Configuring Unreal Tournament to your exact personal specifications is a breeze.

More than 10 awesome weapons of destruction. Like the REDEEMER - your personal cruise missile launcher. Fire a missile and then guide it to your target through the missile's video eye. The hydraulic-powered IMPACT HAMMER is great for pounding your enemies to mush. Try out the TRANSLOCATOR - great for telefragging opponents and teleporting to a new location. We've upped the boom factor on all the weapons to give you the maximum feel and firepower.
