1/27/03 - Only recently have I played the original Unreal Tournament and I've just begun the first Unreal, so they were both fresh on my mind when I downloaded the Unreal Tournament 2003 demo.  Unreal Tournament is held as one of the best First Person Shooters ever made.  I never had the chance to truly enjoy it online (Damn 56k) but fraggin' bots offline was always a blast.  I had no problem seeing why this is one of the best FPS's ever.

    Having said that, I didn't expect too much more from UT 2003.  I wasn't too far off, from the looks of things, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.  It's the fast paced action we know and love, with a major graphical overhaul.  With my current card it doesn't look great, but there's definite potential.  I can't wait to play her on a Radeon 9700.  Aside from the graphic overhaul, there are a few minor, but significant, gameplay tweaks that I can't wait to dive into in the retail version.  The wall jump ability is the most intriguing aspect.  The two levels on the demo are both beautiful and well laid-out.  Perfect for some multiplayer mayhem.  I'm looking forward to the full version. - Laez
