GameDaily Review: Unreal Tournament III on Playstation 3

The holidays just perked up for PlayStation 3 owners. Along with being able to snag quality first-party games, out comes another viable must-have with Midway's Unreal Tournament III. Even though the PC version slightly excels, this port is a fine continuation of the long-running first-person shooting series, with more than enough battle action to go around.

If you've played Unreal Tournament before, then you'll have a good idea of what to expect. The action is mostly the same, as you go through multiple maps and shoot at anything that moves (except your own teammates). The gameplay is tight, functioning properly with the SIXAXIS controller. You'll have no problem winding around corners with a Bio-Rifle, entering a battle while shooting lethal balls of goo at opponents. Don't expect weak competition, though -- the artificial intelligence adjusts accordingly. Very rarely will you encounter a stupid character.

Weapons in Unreal Tournament III

The weapon arsenal in UT3 is largely similar to that of UT2004. Returning weapons include the AVRiL (which can also guide deployed spider mines with its secondary fire mode), Bio Rifle (shoots out blobs of bio-mass), Flak Cannon, Link Gun, Rocket Launcher (which has Unreal's grenade), Shock Rifle, Sniper Rifle, and the Redeemer (The Target Painter was planned on being in the game but was evidently cut). The Enforcer (which can be dual-wielded) and the Impact Hammer based on the original UT, respectively replace the Assault Rifle and the Shield Gun from UT 2003 and 2004. The Enforcer fires either a single semi-automatic shot or three round bursts. The Impact Hammer features an EMP blast alternate fire to knock powerups (such as Beserk, UDamage) out of enemies. Returning from Unreal and Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict is the Tarydium Stinger, which replaces the Minigun. The Stinger's primary fires hitscan-speed rounds; the secondary fire mode is stronger, has a slower rate of fire and isn't hitscan, but can nail an opponent to a wall if it's the killing blow.

Killing awards have been expanded from just three as seen in UT2004, to nearly all weapons. Accumulating fifteen kills with a particular weapon or fire mode prompts the announcer to award the player with a specific title. The awards are: JackHammer, Gun Slinger, Bio Hazard, Combo King, Shaft Master, Blue Streak, Flak Master, Rocket Scientist, Head Hunter and Big Game Hunter.
