"Unreal Tournament 2003" é uma refinação da fórmula que fez tanto sucesso no passado, mas infelizmente adiciona muito mais aos gráficos do que à jogabilidade, podendo decepcionar muitos. Não é o game que vai converter os fãs de "Quake" à série, mas mesmo assim, a turma de "Unreal" deve aproveitar essas novas nuances, que certamente injetam muita vida à já adorada marca.

*Picks up drooling mouth* Man oh man! Unreal Tournament 2003 is one AMAZING game, I pre-ordered this game about 3 weeks before it was shipped and hit stores and I am extremely happy with what in my opinion is going to be the best action game of the year!

Unreal Tournament is my second favorite game of all-time (Street Fighter II being first, of course), so my expectations for the sequel were insanely high. Overall, Digital Extremes did not disappoint, clearly putting forth a huge effort to make UT 2003 an amazing product.Fans will readily notice a few significant changes, most of which benefit gameplay. Foremost, players have access to special moves, regulated by an Adrenaline meter. Adrenaline icons and kills raise the meter, and once you fill it, you can increase speed, power, turn invisible, etc. by inputting specific button taps. Initially, I was skeptical, thinking that such a “gimmick” might imbalance gameplay, but these moves actually add depth and flare.

Of je er nu pro bent of niet, de kracht van Unreal Tournament 2003 en zijn impact op de online shooter-wereld is onweerlegbaar. Het mooie van het spel is dat je niet meteen naar de hardware-shop moet rennen voor een nieuwe grafische kaart of processor: UT2003 draait netjes op tussenklassers. Zij die de totale visuele ervaring willen meemaken zonder snelheidsverlies, moeten zich weer wel wenden tot de nieuwe generatie videokaarten. Het spel brengt subtiele wijzigingen aan de voorganger aan, die toch resulteren in een anders feel. Als je van fraggen houdt, mag dit spel niet op je harde schijf ontbreken!!!

Fans of online arena combat games will most likely find UT2003 a worthwhile purchase. If you didn't like UT then UT2003 isn't going to change your mind. This type of game takes quite a bit of practice to really get good at, but there are a ton of servers and plenty of opponents available to school you and keep you challenged for the months and years to come.

If you are a fan of FPS, games with great graphics, and wonderful gameplay; go to the nearest store and buy this game immediately! The game is that good! From the minute you install the game you will be amazed how wonderful this game looks, and plays. It is a shame that a few modes were cut out and some of the weapons have been weakened, but than again it is a sequel to UT and an expansion pack. Listen, you owe it to yourself to purchase this game. See you online!

Ultimately, if you have broadband and want to enjoy the fastest, slickest and most refined multiplayer-style first-person shooter in existence then this game has to be for you. It's polished, well-designed, diverse, and consequently an awful lot of fun. Not a revolution by any stretch of the imagination, but what is sets out to do, it does with some panache, easily becoming the best example of this type of game currently available.

If Infogrames can iron out the HUGE problems as far as performance, this will easily win the "Game of the Year" award without even anyone blinking. But, as of now the performance plays a crucial role in the success of the game. Most people aren't willing to spend 50 clams on a game, and then have to buy a $200 video card just to play the game (hey, I've done it before...).

UT2003 is a furious and exhilarating reinstatement of what came to be in 1999, but no, it isn't the greatest deathmatch game of all time; it fails to manage the purity of vision or breadth of invention necessary to take their that title. Nor is UT2003 a revolution; in fact there's very little innovation at all. but it is a game that manages to create a healthy amalgam of intuitive design, stunning visuals and a comfortably familiar dynamic and deliver it all with the humour and attention to detail we've come to expect from Epic.

Een lekkere doordenderende online shooter is er op het moment niet en UT 2003 biedt je alles wat je wilt. De diversiteit aan maps evenals de looks van de maps houden je zeker zoet tot de nieuwe gratis mappacks die Digital Extremes gaat releasen. Ze kennen zowel claustro-fobische indoor als uitgestrekte outdoor locaties en combinaties van die twee. Hulde aan de ontwerpers. Ook de netcode is super stabiel dat geldt uiteraard voor mijn eigen persoontje, maar ook op fora zijn er weinig klachten.

Que dire, que dire ? Cet Unreal est le digne successeur de son aïeul. Mieux que ça même. Un nouveau de mode de jeu particulièrement sympa, des innovations au niveau du gameplay et une réalisation qui participe à une ambiance de jeu absolument frénétique. Le pied pour les amateurs de frag.

If they're that bothered about getting the 2004 version, as stated before, they can get UT 2003 for almost half price, get all the FREE add-ons via the internet or recent magazine coverdiscs, and stick with that- without having to use the install CDs in the drive the whole time. For that you can enjoy one of the best FPS in style, for no added fees and with long-term support for servers unlike bigger companies we could mention.

Denying Unreal Tournament 2003 its rightful place in the upper echelons of this genre/sub-genre that it so effortlessly succeeds at is hard work. One would have to be quite jaded, discriminatory, close-minded, and vigilant to justify dismissing the game's many charms and delights.

Nicht nur, dass Unreal Tournament
2003 Grafiken auffährt,
bei denen man schon
mal das Fraggen vergessen
kann – auch spielerisch stimmt praktisch alles.
Das Tempo gefällt mir noch
besser als im
Vorgänger, die Waffenbalance ist
gelungen, die Bots sind prima und das Leveldesign
meist vom Feinsten.
Bei den Waffen hätte ich allerdings ein kleines
bisschen mehr Mut zur Innovation erwartet.
Weil sich da so wenig getan hat, spielt sich
2003 sehr wie der Vorgänger. Insbesondere
die viel benutzte Mini Gun oder die Flak Cannon
haben sich kaum verändert – so langsam
kann ich die alten Lieblinge aber nicht mehr
sehen. Außerdem gefallen mir nicht alle Bots,
insbesondere die Ägypter wirken mir zu
uncool. Als ernsthafter Online-Shooter-Fan
müssen Sie natürlich trotzdem zugreifen!

Some will love it and some will hate it, but none can dispute the fact that once they start playing it they'll enjoy the hell out of it! UT2003 is extremely fun, make no mistake about it, and that's the sole reason why I recommend this game even to those of you who feel that older online shooters can offer just as much fun, but with lower hardware reqs. It's much like the shooters of old, but the actual gameplay mechanics have been raised to another level. Along with some other gameplay tweaks, this probably makes UT2003 the best online shooter on the market. Creativity does suffer greatly, but that's what happens when you become one of the big boys. The bid for a wider market reach often yields the death of innovation and a far more rigid approach to game design. Well, just as long as the end product is hella fun, we shouldn't object that much really.

Hopefully the developers will either ditch the hokey sports concept or flesh it out fully the next time around, and hopefully they'll also put more effort into creating innovative and diverse gameplay and better weapons to match the great visuals, level design, and soundtrack. A series this important should lead the way in the field of first-person shooters, rather than coasting along on the strength of its good name and its fancy graphics. Though, while it's not all that it could have been, Unreal Tournament 2003 does deliver tons of bloody, in-your-face combat in some beautifully designed arenas, and sometimes that's all you need for a really fun game.

Grafisch het knapste spel van het moment, maar op gebied van gameplay zo goed als identiek aan zijn voorganger...

UT 2003 ist meiner Meinung nach ein gelungener Shooter, der fast keine Wünsche offen lässt. Leider kann man die bombastische Grafik nur mit Hardware der höheren Klasse genießen. Aber auch wenn die Details nicht voll aufgedreht sind, macht das Spiel einiges her. Wie UT wird auch der Nachfolger mithilfe der aktiven Community zum Langzeiterfolg werden. Ich freue mich schon jetzt über die zahlreichen Mods und Maps die mit Sicherheit noch folgen werden. Wer also auf bombastische Grafik und atemberaubende Gefechte abfährt, kann sicher sein mit dem kauf von Unreal Tournament 2003 keinen fehlgriff zu tun.

Give the Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo a whirl and within ten minutes you'll know if this is the game for you. It's a graphically unmatched version of the same fast-paced competitive first-person action we've been playing for years. If you can't get enough of DM and CTF -- and you know who you are! -- you'll be able to overlook UT2003's small flaws and you'll have hours of delicious competition to look forward to. If you're looking for a whole new gameplay experience, it's best to look elsewhere. Regardless, with the upcoming Doom III offering such a limited multiplayer experience, and Quake 4's multiplayer plans still unkown and way off in the distance, it's pretty clear that UT2003 and its inevitable sequels have the makings of becoming the de-facto competition game for years to come.

C'est simple à prendre en main, c'est violent, c'est rapide, la réalisation est parfaite : il n'en faudra pas plus à Unreal Tournament 2003 pour devenir en cette fin d'année le roi du shoot 3D, vu que les concurrents n'arriveront pas avant 2003. Il y a bien une campagne solo, mais c'est essentiellement pour le multijoueur qu'il faut acheter ce titre. Là, avec ses armes pêchues, ses cartes variées et ses modes de jeu par équipe, le jeu livrera tout son potentiel et devrait satisfaire n'importe quel amateur du genre. Un honorable successeur à Quake 3 Arena et Unreal Tournament.

Major improvement in sound and graphics from predecessor, but very little true gameplay innovation.

Unreal Tournament 2003 joins the ranks of technology-driven titles that repackage core gameplay values with updated visual content. There's nothing terribly new about this first person deathmatch, but cynicisms aside, it's still a lot of fun.
