"Part of the excitement over UT2003 comes not just from the game itself, but from the Unreal editor, a direct gateway for mod and map makers. The editor allows map creators to include prefabs or static meshes, previously created in 3D Studio Max, and imported into the editor. " - Games Domain

"In fact, the graphics on the version we were playing were universally superb. Being an unfinished build, some animations were lacking, but the scenery was excellent, particularly in the outdoor levels, featuring waist-high grass, deep patches of light and shadow, and a nice variety of multi-level pathways and walkways" - Games Domain

" The first thing you notice is the exceptional graphics. I have never seen before such a great attention paid to the visual details. The weapons, the bots, the players and the maps, the shadows, the water reflection, the light effects, the liquid textures from the walls, all of them look incredibly beautiful and so detailed." - Computergames.com
