1UP reviews Unreal Tournament 3 for PS3

As for today, the arrival of Unreal Tournament 3 stands to be one of the highlights of the year for Net-connected PS3 owners. For many, this will be a fresh experience, lessening the impact of the modest mode options and lack of some fan favorites from prior versions. At the same time, the lessons learned over the years of iteration and the sparkling new graphics engine make this the latest and greatest version for fans of the series. While that experience factor also benefits the bot A.I., that shine may wear off fairly fast for those not planning to play online.

Whether or not you'll find a community playing this game in a year leads back to that earlier question of just how close PC and console gaming have become...and your response to Unreal Tournament 3 will help shape the answer.

Score: 8/10

8 / 10

1 - After playing UT3

online for a couple hours today I have to say I am a little disappointed with this score. I was suprised how well it plays online with a controller, how smooth it runs and how incredible it looks.

I think it deserves a rock solid 9. I understand the campaign mode is slim but UT has always been about the multiplayer and it runs GREAT!

Sigh. UT 3 has a metacritic score of 86 on the PC. PS3 score shouldn't be that different since the two versions are IDENTICAL. So 1up is not "teh bias", just following what everyone else is giving the game.

Lame. 1UP gave 8/10 to R&C too. Didn't they preview this game on the 1UP show a while ago and they were praising it? And then they come out with an 8/10.

Thanks for the review, MicroUP

1.5 - I never knew

8/10 was such a bad score. Why do you care what 1up gives it? Did that 8/10 they gave it stop you from buying it? You got the game and enjoyed it right? I don't see what the fuss is all about, I mean if you really cared about game reviews that much ..... :/

1.6 - just played a deathmatch

This game owns halo 3. If you like halo when this comes out on 360 your going to jizz your pants. On the PS3 it runs smooth as silk with Gears graphics and faster than Halo. This game shows off what the ps3 is currently capable of. Even if your a diehard 360 fanboy do yourself a favour and try this game it will blow your mind. This is gonna sell millions of consoles.

Why the hell would they put Garnett on UT3? That Patrick (Klepek? something) dude was the one who's been doing all the previews both in magazines and on both the latest 1up shows were they talked about UT3. Also I remember on one of the podcasts (one with Jane Pickard or something), Garnett was hating on the Sony and PS3 (and a little bit on Shane).

WTF IS UP WITH 1UP!!! THIS IS BULL!!!

I've been playing the Single player and online and I am very impressed at how good it runs on and offline. I thought it would get at least all 9's across the board but like you said "it's a PS3 game" All reviewers do not seem to give the PS3 versions any attention and just run through them when reviewing them then post a bunch of crap online about how the 360 version was better, we'll for one they play the 360 version all the way through then paly the PS3 version for like 15 minutes. How can you give a good review like that. The Orange box had a lower review for frame errors BUT THE REASON WAS BECAUSE OF THE AUTOSAVE FUNCTION WHICH IS NOT ON THE 360 VERSION. WHILE THE GAME IS BEING SAVED YOU WILL SEE A LITTLE FRAME STUTTER SOMETIMES WHICH IS NORMAL, BUT SINCE ITS ON THE PS3 THEY SHUN IT AS A ERROR. I no longer trust reviewers. I still buy the game on the PS3 if I want the game regardless what the reviewers say and so far I haven't made any mistakes.

3.1 - Here's my theory about reviews like this

Mind you this is personal opinion.

8 is an awesome score. What takes away from it is the way the review and a lot others are written. When a reviewer seems to cut straight to the negative in the first paragraph, you start to feel as if there might not be that much positive stuff to look forward to, and you might not even finish reading the review. If reviewers would start focusing on all of the things that games did right nowadays rather than what went wrong and possibly save that for last, 8 would feel like a much better score than it does right now.

Reviewers are starting to make games sound like a job, and while I know it actually is their job, they are forgetting just how much fun it really is and instead focusing on what they HAVE to find wrong with a game. Reviewers should feel privileged to do what they do and get paid for it, but most of them would rather downgrade someone else's work made with blood, sweat and tears just because, well, it's their job. This goes for a lot of games like Uncharted and Mass Effect just to name a few. Reviewers are starting to suck the fun out of games.

8 is an awesome score. Remember though, all personal opinion.

Exactly what I keep on saying. Shame that so many 360 and PS3 fanboys don't understand that. 360 fanboys are getting the same game so no point blasting it and PS3 fanboys need to learn that there is not "teh bias" when PC version is getting the same thing.

6.4 - gears is my most favourite game of all time

This game looks as good or better and runs at 3x the speed. Your fanboy blinders are gonna keep you from playing this game at its full potential on PS3. Gears stutters and lags even in single player I swear there is no way the 360 is gonna run this game as fast as this I just cant see how. I am a console fan with no allegence to either one so this is just my honest opinion. I still prefer the 3rd person of gears though because the character models are so amazing to watch.

10.1 - PS3 needs a couple of 9.5's

I think the PS3 crowd is screaming for a AAA title/system seller type game. Anything less then that might seem like a failure of sorts. Not saying it's a bad game, but is it gonna make me go out and buy a PS3? Probably not. But if I had a PS3 I would most definitly pick this up.

I can look at Smash's avi all night lol

But seriously, when did 8/10 become a bad score?? I'd easily purchase an 8/10 game. Its kind of sad that people are now scared that games on their preferred system has to get at least a 9 so they don't get ragged on. Some people around here need to grow up.

13.1 - How do you explain

The PC version getting the same type of scores??

You don't agree with the rating then fine but to come out and basically say that 360 is getting preferential treatment is a load of sh!t. I will be laughing when the 360 version gets the same score.

And since when is 8 a bad score?? 8-10 is a must play game in my book.

But they have very similar single player, Mods > Forge, more players, better graphics, and similar vehicles. Yet it gets 8/10 and 10/10 for Halo 3. I don't see why this game is getting mainly 8's.

8/10 ANOTHER forgettable PS3 exclusive. Wait for the Xbox 360 version, which will undoubtedly score better thanks to superior online and its award winning controller and features such as achievements, trueskill and better graphics.
