Unreal Tournament 2004 Critic Reviews

The lightning gun can take down a Raptor with a few shots, while a single homing...read the complete Unreal Tournament 2004 review at GameSpy
This month of March has been truly awesome for action gamers.

You know, I don’t normally give out 10’s on games. I feel that if I’m going to give a game the best score we have, it had better damn well meet not only my expectations, but the expectations of my friends, coworkers, and the homeless people on the...read the complete Unreal Tournament 2004 review at Games are Fun

So there's Unreal Tournament 2004, sequel to Unreal Tournament 2003 released 18 months ago. Was it worth the wait? Definitely!

up front I was kind of confused as to why I had to buy seemingly the same game as UT2K3 with a new mode, a remade mode, a few new characters, and a new name versus an expansion pack, playing it showed me that the expense of $50 was definitely well worth i...read the complete Unreal Tournament 2004 review at GameZone

You will need one hell of a PC to get the best out of it though, moreso than perhaps any other game out at the moment. Otherwise, in-game physics, lighting, and customisability are all great.

Honestly, I shunned Unreal Tournament 2003 when it first released a little more than a year ago. In my eyes, it was just another re-hash with an upgraded graphics engine.

UT 2004 is one helluva big game. I mean that both figuratively and literally: the regular edition ships on six CD-ROMs and will eat up an enormous 5.5GB of hard-drive space.
