Unreal Tournament 2004 redefines the term: "Total Addiction"...
If you think UT 2004 is an upgraded version of UT 2003 then think twice! Imagine UT 2003 with all its pros, none of its cons, then double the content, triple the quality, and quadruple the fun! You will not believe how much is in this game, in terms of both quality and quantity. Size does matter if it's that good.
Multiplayer action has never been so much involving. The basic gameplay formula is elevated even further to an almost perfect height. There's nothing wrong with sticking to an old formula if you're loyal and dedicated to its structure. Gameplay is the main star here, and it shines.
Graphically, the game production values are epic. You'll grace a mothership, grasslands, hellish regions... The list goes on. And it's a long one. The flashy effects do the game good rather than hurt the quality as they are implemented perfectly. And the character models are detailed to your hearts' content.
The soundtrack will blow you away. If your mate's flak cannon fails to do the job that is. The effects need a little more work but they're still superb, albeit repetitive at times. The game also features a voice-to-text engine that futhermore enhances the experience.
Remember the good old days when Quake and Blood ruled the land? Welcome back! Be sure to frag as much victims as you can. Or just die trying. Either way, this game will leave you sick and tired and wanting to go to bed.
