This game is GREAT!!
Game play: A new addition to the Unreal series is melee weapons. Each character has a melee weapon along with their guns. The melee weapon for each character goes along with the character's other features. The weapon features a regular attack, a power attack, and a flying charge attack.
The game can be played in both 3rd and 1st person perspectives. By simply pressing the black button you will switch perspectives. In this game, you choose your weapons before the match begins, instead of tons of weapons to cycle through. You choose one ballistic weapon (Flack cannon, Rocket launcher), and one energy weapon (sniper, energy gun).
In addition to your regular attacks there is also a very special attack called Coup de grace, they are VERY though too pull off at first but are easier over time. They are basically a fatality.
Single player: Since the game is multiplayer based, the single player campaign is not great.....but not bad either. It features good training for beginners.
Multiplayer: For all of you who don't own Xbox Live (like myself), you are in luck!!! In Intense Action mode BOTS ARE AVAILABLE!!!!! :bang: :bang: :bang: The bots are awesome! You can set there level, making it easy to win, loose, of making it even. Game types to choose from are: Capture the flag, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Survival (1 on 1), Overdose (a level filled with radiation), and Nail Slaughter. All are very fun to play!
Graphics: The graphics are absolutely amazing. They really show what the Xbox can do. A friend of mine plays on live, and even with all of the things going on at once there is no lag. Textures are amazingly clear, weapon effects are awesome, and melee fighting is smooth. The only thing that I dislike is that when someone dies, there are only a few body parts that are shown, unlike UT 2004.
Audio: The audio is simply amazing! Gun blasts sound crisp and REAL, melee fighting sounds like a sword fight!
