Where to start with Unreal Tournament 3 well it's one of the best if not the best First-Person Shooter on the market today and in it's old age(one year old)it's good to see that it hasn't lost any of its exitement,spark or overall greatness thanks to mods(modifications, created by a very loyal pc orientated fanbase)that greatly improve the games' longevity.
Unreal Tournament 3 though has always been very(and in my opinion needlessly)criticized for it's lack of a storyline, but to me it's mostly about gameplay, which by the way is awesome. I mean if you want a great story you get a movie not a game. Graphics are good as well and this means you can really feel the atmosphere as you sneak up behind the unfortunate gamer with your flak cannon ready to blow him to pieces.
This game then is the perfect answer to the hardcore FPS(First-Person shooter) fan's prayer, but even if you don't like First-person shooters this game will change your mind, spectacular, in almost every way but that's not to say that this game's without it's faults like the sometimes rather stupid A.I and i will admit, contrary to a previous statement; sometimes annoying lack of a story, no split-screen multiplayer or co-op, fiddly vehicle controls (no different to most other futuristic FPS's). Other than that though, Unreal Tournament 3 is probably as close as your going to get to FPS perfection, until they make Unreal Tournament 4 anyway.
In conclusion a great buy if you're a hardcore gamer in the market for a hardcore FPS game then this game is definetly your best choice.
