Since development on Unreal Tournament has been suspended by Epic Games, those who want a dose of the franchise must look back to 2007. Unreal tournament 3.
This means we have to go back to an era where “more or less the same” was the philosophy of the gaming industry. This isn’t always a bad thing, but the third lead entry in the Unreal series is a product of its time.
Game
Unreal Tournament 3 has all the meat that made the series famous. The simpler modes, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag, all play out like in hundreds of other games. The exception here is that the Unreal Tournament series is OG when it comes to fast-paced multiplayer games, and UT3 continues that tradition well.
The action is fast and the controls are tight and direct. You can easily perform maneuvers like double jump, side sprint, and wall jump which makes the tightly packed levels more interesting. The game ends up being very vertical, as jumping is one of the best ways to avoid fire and bring down your enemy.
The only problem with these basic game modes is that what was once groundbreaking has become an industry standard. When playing UT3, you will probably enjoy it for about 30 minutes before you start getting bored.
There have been games ever since Unreal Tournament 3 which improves the Deathmatch and Capture the Flag modes. It was fun when it came out, but even in 2007 UT3 wasn’t groundbreaking. Now, it just looks old.
