I must admit, I don't spend money on any PC games anymore, unless it's available through Steam (purely due to ease of aquisition/access). And on that note, I think it might be time to buy Unreal Tournament 3 for a bit of a bash.

In fact, for $54 USD, I might just go right ahead and buy the whole Unreal Deal Pack.

UT3 plays almost exactly like 2k7 - whether thats good or bad is up to you, personally I like it. Has a few less game modes which sucks (Most notably the Assault/Defend style maps) but is still a lot of fun and the graphical improvement is phenomenal.

Unfortunately the game-play has been rehashed since their original release.
Nothing new, nothing exciting :/

I like the gameplay personally and see it as "Why fix what isnt broken?" Only real complaint is the lack of game modes.

Also it looks sexeh at 2560x1600 with AA and AF

the best Unreal game, was and still is in my opinion, the original Unreal tournament. and it had nothing to do with graphics. and that's all they improve apon.

so i take it it's not great? judging by these reactions?
