Best Fast Paced Shooter Ever!
UT 2004 has very fun and distinct level designs. All the various levels are beautifully designed, but you need a somewhat strong computer to see it. there are also some old favorites like Hyperblast and Face. If some how, you do get sick of playing the huge collection of maps, there are ALOT of map packs out on the internet to try out.
Graphically, it's beautiful for it's time.
The replay value is amazing. you can play this for several days and not get bored. might be annoyed and angry if you lack skills. Learning how to play the game is very easy, but hard to master. once you master it, it's awesome.
This is an awesome game that's worth buying if you can't afford to buy Unreal Tournament 3 or don't have a computer strong enough to play UT 3. Interestingly, on various game review sites, UT 2004 scored higher than UT 3. it even got editor's choice.
Go out and frag someone tonight. Enjoy.
