Good old school twitch shooter with decent graphics, fun modes and classic maps. Online is kinda dead though. This game represents great value. Recommended.

Games that are as long awaited as UT3 always bear the inherent danger of becoming over-hyped and to inevitably disappoint in the end. Well, this is NOT the case with this game. UT3 ROCKS!

Graphically you have not seen anything that beautiful this year! Surfaces, shadows and explosions are just GORGEOUS! Yes, I liked the graphics even more than those in CRYSIS (and I gave CRYSIS a raving review - check it out if you like): they are crisper and more atmospheric.

Fans of the UT-series will meet again all our old ...friends: the Bio Rifle, the Link Gun, the Shock Rifle, the Flak Cannon (my favorite!), the Rocket Launcher and the Sniper Rifle. New additions are the Enforcer (to replace the under-used Assault rifle) and the Impact Hammer (replacing the shield gun). An interesting twist: hitting an enhanced target with the Impact Hammer's alternative fire will drop his power-up for you to grab!
SuperWeapons are also at our disposal, both the Redeamer and the new Target Painter.

The number of available vehicles has been enriched as well. Besides the Axon vehicles from UT2004 (which have been renovated), a new Necris set is available: vehicles that demonstrate novel behaviors, yet are beautifully balanced with the Axon set.

What is really impressive once more are the environments. You have to see them to believe them...! And the skies...! I have not seen more breathtaking skies ever since, well, the original UNREAL.

Since this is a pretty demanding game, once the rockets start flying do not trust that by meeting the Minimum requirements your system can handle this. So, here are the official RECOMMENDED requirements:
* 2.4GHz Dual-Core Processor
* 1GB of RAM
* nVIDIA 7800GTX OR ATI x1300 GFX-card
* 8 GB of free HDD space
(on either WinXp (SP2) or WinVISTA)

I cannot imagine anyone not enjoying this...

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

· Pentium 2.4GHz Dual-Core (or AMD equivalent)

CRYSIS is surely getting a run for its money for GAME OF THE YEAR!

I cannot imagine anyone not enjoying this...

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
