Unreal Tournament III for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

I picked this game up on release date, and it was very well worth it. The campaign consists of you and your AI teammates fighting against other bots in game types such as team death-match, capture the flag, and an assault type game where you have to link your teams nodes to the enemies prime core in order to attack their main core. It sounds confusing but it very easy to learn once you start playing. This game is very fast-paced, which makes it fun. The aiming system is pretty difficult do to the fact that everyone is flying around your screen, but if you get the hang of it you will be in good shape for online. Campaign is fun, but if your playing on normal difficulty your AI team-mates sometimes get glitched at spawn and provide you with no back-up. Other than this I would say that online is very fun, with a wide variety of maps and weapons. I highly recommend this game to all types of gamers, even if your not a big fan of shooters. This game involves innovative strategy and is very rewarding after you defeat your opposition, even if it very frustrating at times. 9/10 only due to the glitchy AI.

This game is based around the idea of multiplayer online matches. There is a singleplayer campaigne mode, but the individual missions are little more then online matches played against computer opponents.

It's not a bad game, but it's not a good game either. Personally, I'm a big fan of the story in video games. This game... is kind of lacking in that aspect. They do a decent job of trying to work in the idea of playing capture the flag as a real war-time strategy but not well enough to keep you interested. I'm a few stages from beating it and I have no real idea what's going on. Humans fight aliens... that's all I can really gather (I guess I should have played the other Unreal games first?).

It's a fun game when you play with friends... but alone, it gets stale and frustrating quickly. The computer AI is the Computer AI regardless of what team it's on... so in Singleplayer you are the only real advantage your team has. Which sounds fine until you realize that these are games/maps that require team effort. It's hard to get the computer to cooperate with your plan and trusting the computer alone often ends in distaster.

For instance, my team had a hard time protecting key nodes in "warfare" mode without my help. They also struggled to take new nodes without me... I can't be two places at once.

Another flaw, you can't choose game types in the campaigne... I don't like Capture the Flag but I have no choice but to play a bunch of capture the flag rounds.

There's a few loading delays that get old... and it's hard to see how far you are into the game making it seem like the game will never end. But, the maps are well designed and the game does a good job of keeping old ideas fresh.

You can play campaign in coop and you can adjust the dificulty and still earn the achivements. That's worth something. Also, I haven't had too much trouble finding people online... which is good considering how old the game is.

It's better with friends. Alone, not so
