Gamezone Reviews UTIII PS3(8.8)

Gamezone reviews Unreal Tournament III for the Playstation 3.

[Anything but Cute]

Looks like it's gonna be pretty good. Anyway, I'm already on the 360 bandwagon.

"Someone just informed me that my avatar might give some people the idea that I'm a "Pedo"

What has the world come to?"

[Maddens Raiders]

Bioshock again and get the hell out. No one cares what bandwagon you're on. btw....nice way to rip that pic from the headlines. Wonder who threw her up first..... http://www.n4g.com/NewsPend... Be original, get a personality and stop being a childish prick.

[TANOD]

the XTARDS troll all ps3 news forums

[Anything but Cute]

Only I used it as an avatar. And I'm very happy with it. I think the little girl is adorable. And it brings a smile to me.

Sometimes you gotta cheerup. Not be so gloomy.

[straightpiff420]

Seems like a good review but I expected a 9.0 at least. Doesn't really matter though because this is going on my christmas wishlist

[marinelife9]

See you all online tomorrow night!

[Ri0tSquad]

lmfao @ LOL PS3 IS JUNK LOL

How about those Microsoft kids?

[robep3]

Good review site mentions on 360 & and pc should say on pc now
timed exclusive for PS3 for a good few months plus we can download
pc mods to use on PS3 BECAUSE of our nice open PSN that's not controlled by a megalomaniac corporation LOL LOL LOL.

Rob.

[Bathyj]

"All PS3 owners are jobless children who don't buy games because their parents hate them."

HA, thats pathetic, just like the clown who said it.

I could generalize if I wanted too and say Xbox owners are cheap tightarses that constantly complain about price yet all own 2 or 3 Xboxes for some reason and will buy any crap game as long as it has deathmatch with it to justify their live accounts.

But I wont do that. I dont want to live on your level. I visited your level on a school camp once, it stank.

[EggFiary]

Does UT3 has 4 player split screen for offline?

[Skizelli]

How does ripping a pic from the headlines for an avatar hold any relevance when 99% of the images used for headlines are ripped to begin with?

[Polluted]

Since everyone is going off about avatars I just want to say props to Bathyj for the best avatar I've ever seen. Wonder Boy rocks my world.

[Maddens Raiders]

I was expecting a 10/10, but they couldn't find enough flaws to give it the elusive number. <-----sarcasm

Good to see that the negatives stem from the reviewers interpretation that overall it's still the same soul of the 1998 game. With all of that out of the way, I'll be picking this up as soon as I wake. 8D

[TANOD]

PC UT3 = 8.5 on GZ

PS3 UT3 = 8.8 on GZ

[Hugh Hefner]

They weren't reviewed by the same person, that will explain the difference as there is no comparison between the two.

[ruibing]

I think as long as they implemented all the features on the PC for the PS3 with no performance problems or glitches, we should just be happy that they did a good job. Beyond that it is simply a matter of personal preference.

[EZCheez]

Nothing wrong with an 8.8. Uncharted has gotten lower scores and I thought that game was amazing so an 8.8 sounds awesome.

Also, does anybody here have the PC version as well? I'm thinking about getting it just to make some mods.

[visage]

@2.1-thanks for putting those scores up, saved me time from looking them up myself :x

On topic- This game is looking good, can't wait to get it tomorrow.

[ATLRoAcH]

Thinking about getting this, seeing as how theres nothing else good coming out for a little bit.The multiplayer should be awesome.

[consolewar]

"seeing as how theres nothing else good(ps3) coming out for a little(this is waiting) bit"

[Hydrollex]

UT3 graphics > halo 3 graphics

If you disagree yo are a dumb mofo who doesnt like to believe things.

[Robotz Rule]

Great,true and funny comment:)

I can't wait to pick up UTIII PS3 later this month,I'm still too busy with COD4 online atm.

[ATLRoAcH]

do look sweet as hell.Every screenshot I've seen is beautiful.Thats why the guy said this-

Graphics: 9.6
Beautiful in both motion and at a standstill, the Unreal Engine 3 provides eye-popping graphics for Unreal Tournament 3. Not having played Uncharted yet, I’d have to say this is the best game, in terms of graphics, to be released on the PS3.

[TANOD]

UT3 PC got 8.5 on GZ (9.5 in graphics)

UT3 PS3 has got 8.8 on GZ (9.6 in graphics)

[toughNAME]

Most newly released games look better...no...much better than Halo 3 does

Halo has always shined in gameplay, and since you love to compare, UT3 got an 8.5 in gameplay...it's lowest mark out of all the categories

----

Back to the article...I wasn't expecting it to be this high...but I think I'll wait for IGN

[boodybandit]

What did you expect UT3 to get? The graphics look to be amazing and most previews say it runs very smooth. Past UT games have excellent gameplay and Epic really added a lot to multiplayer with vehicles and new online modes.

Personally I think a game of this caliber deserves a solid 9 if not higher unless there are serious performance problems.

[season007]

i remember 2 weeks ago it was like 5 and a few days ago it was like 4?

guess your pain in spain really hurts a lot of troll's heart...

i will get you a bubble =)

[toughNAME]

Im not all that sure...I mean the previews and everything I've heard about the game has been good..but not great

I guess its more of a personal reason for me
I love my shooters but I've never been a fan of UT and I think the graphics have always had a... sloppy look

Thats just me though

[Bolts]

Any review of UT3 prior to the mass release of the game sucks. Thats like reviewing Warhawk before the game goes live, the reviewer isn't able to experience the multiplayer to it's fullest like a normal player would. He won't be able to see what's its like to play with complete strangers to judge the teamwork elements in modes like warefare and CTF, he also won't be able to report on whatever connectivity issues that may or may not popup.

But the worst thing about this review is it tell us absolutely nothing about the PS3's UT3 beyond what we already know. Is there aiming assist, how does it work? Is there a lobby system? What about stats tracking? Are the maps too small or big for 18 players? Are the weapons better balanced in CTF and warfare mode this time around, in UT 2004 team modes weren't that great because you're using deatmatch weapons against tanks...basically real information that UT3 players actually need from a review.

It sounds to me like this guy wrote the review by reading whats written on the back of the box. No real details concerning the PS3's game and game modes at all.

[Skizelli]

Wow, Hydrolex, you're pretty quick. Did you come up with that analysis all by yourself? Just the fact that you made that comparison makes you a dumb mofo. It doesn't make Halo 3 any less fun, though. Why even attempt to start a flame war?

As for the topic, UT3 is a blast. I'd much rather play this on a PC, but PS3 fans should have a blast. They went back to the UT roots on this one. Though it takes a bit getting used to not being able to do a double jump out of a dodge.

[Dante8205]

xboxs are very mad they cant get this until much later this year

[mintaro]

looks like its gonna be a great game on all platforms.
just cant wait for it on the 360

[lonestarmt]

your one weird cookie. Why? get it on the ps3. You know the system that has the home feature thats your avatar?? lol

[Rice]

true say...

[CaliGamer]

His avatar was an attempt at mockery of the PS3, nice try. He owns no PS3 thats why he has to wait for this game.

[Probotector]

Poor PStards, they don't have a Gears of War quality game. LMFAO!

[rofldings]

lol xbots, don't have an uncharted/ut3/gt5/ff13/mgs4/r& amp;c/resistance/etc quality game.

[EZCheez]

Do you ever ask yourself that? You should.

[Vertius]

Uncharted + UTIII > GeOW

The best of both worlds.

[harpua]

"Poor PStards, they don't have a Gears of War quality game. LMFAO!"

good point, the PS3 doesn't have any games that freeze up as much as Gears does.

[Bathyj]

We've got a Gears of War quality game. Its called Genji 2.

Next Gen Graphics, gameplay, nothing we haven't seen for years before.

[m9105826]

Why are this guys bubbles locked? Is it just me?

[CAPS LOCK]

not bad at all actually, i was expecting a 9 overall but not expecting the graphics score and the multi-player score being so high.
so i guess its a must buy for me...when i get a ps3...

[Azures]

Will be picking it up later this week. Poor COD, this will start taking up its time <3

[Hydrollex]

Port = Crap and Crap = Ugly, so in conclusion

UT3 360 version < PS3 version

If yo disagree me yo are a bada$$ 360 fan. We agree nUbisoft games look better on 360 because they are ported to PS3. We PS3 fans = Honest

[Edwin1989]

but you are forgetting that the 360 is a year older and that it gets at least a quarter year extra development time... I think they are going to look equal

[HarryEtTubMan]

I'm picking this up FO SHO

look at all the jealous, angry, disappointed Junkbox 180 owners!! Look at the multiplayer and Graohics rating!!! Everyone make sure u pick this up!

[Astro]

Another B- game for the doomed console. hoooooooray!

[OatLoops]

Another retard that represents the typical 360 owner very badly. I sincerely hope you're 15 or younger. If not, get a life dude. This bottom of the barrel pettiness is getting old.

[zapass]

another cokroach who's been trying to get laid on xbl...
c'mon guys, who's gonna crush it first? I've wasted too many shoes on these buggers, we need an exterminator in this forum!
kid, don't you have a focus group to attend?
I bet they've already prepared the vaseline for ya.

[eagle21]

I'm in! Haters are so jealous.

[Astro]

I'm in! Haters are so jealous.
===================
LOL!

Halo 3 multiplayer: 11/10

[ErcsYou]

COD4 online > Halo3 online all day...you didn't know? you have no hope... your doomed! UT3 will spank halo and COD4

[arika]

it's a good thing i have preordered this baby already. i'm going to pick it up first thing in the morning...
this game is gonna be freaking sweet!

[ErcsYou]

8.8 sounds very promising but doesn't apply to me

this review is based off the fact that the reviewer has played ut2004 .. The only negative things the reviewer had to say is that it wasn't that different from the last game....i for one have never touched a UT game before and i have a really good feeling that UT3 is going to blow my mind tomorrow.

Once i get UT3 i have a feeling that COD4 is going on the "for display only shelf " with the rest of my games. All the "CAMPERS w/ tents and sleeping bags jerkin off with a sniper rifle is getting really old... they never win the match ( cuz i do ). I

I guess what i'm trying to say is that i am ready to run and gun again and i'm going to experience my first UT3 game tomorrow. If you need a extra killer for some TDM or warfare tomorrow...hit me up

PSN: ErcsYou

[TheIneffableBob]

What really irks me about Unreal Tournament 3 is the exclusion of Assault mode--the best mode in UT2004! How could they remove it? I spent so many hours playing those awesome Scorpion Run and jumping maps in Assault mode. To cut that mode is like cutting out half the fun of the game. :(

[Kr155]

dont sweat it bob. There will be an assault MOD. If there isn't already

[Anything but Cute]

Someone said this...

PS3 Owner = Reason for birth control

I say it's more like PS3 owners = reason for prozac and other anti depressants.

[Ri0tSquad]

How old are you?
I know thats not the 1st time u been asked that.

[ErcsYou]

some one also said this

"any thing but cute is a douche" .... now i believe them... now i will bust a Pac man on your bubbles and add another annoying fan boy to the ignore list

[zapass]

so your mummy told ya about birth control, sweetee?
wow, you sound more aware than the average xtroll we get here.
did she tell you how xtrolls reproduce? we found out, they don't.
they just clone each other which explains the repetitive boredom, the hilarious dating scores, the recurrent mental defects, and the absolute lack of creativity. you guys are perfect loyal Billies.

do you want some candy cutee?

[Altair-HD]

go away trolls !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[name]

And 360 owners= abortion victims?

[Witty Comment]

we would be abortion survivors.

:)

[9 shallow 1 deep]

PS3 owners = failed nazi experiments?

[Rice]

Good score, i can't believe it got a lil bit higher than the pc version...

[MetalProxy]

I beleive its offical..xbots leveled up to *Dumb Ass*.. congrates!! I will be playing this tomarrow and the 360 owners will want and wait for a looooooong time. :)

[harv052]

And to say they said Unreal Engine couldn't run on the PS3....

[d3l33t]

there are more xbox "xbots" on here than actual comments. That makes me sad :(

[jackdoe]

Gonna pick it up. I found that most of the criticisms of UTIII were that it was too similar to UT2k4. I loved UT2k4 so that is a plus for me, but I can see how it could be a negative for others.

[achira]

i dont wanna wait for this game. if i would know that there is a possibility to import it fast i would do it. i want to play that game now! by the way uncharted is the best single player game yet. uncharted wishes the floor with geow in any thinkable aspect.

[Maddens Raiders]

sometimes I hate the gravitas that the PS3 demands. It's like putting out Clydesdale manure for dung beetles; the bots just can't get enough. Well, eat up you trolls.

#19 Altair-HD - You're EXACTLY right. We'll ride with you! 8D

[boodybandit]

If we have learned anything this year (especially with what happened at Gamespot) reviews are worthless. UT3 is going to be an excellent game. I will see you guys online tomorrow night if I can get my hands on a copy (I didn't preorder and rumor is it will be hard to get a hold of).

[Jamegohanssj5]

I can't wait to get this game sent to me sometime this week. Game Stop better send it quick or I will not be happy.

[supercharged]

see you online madden

[felidae]

yeah .. nice score. PS3 ftw

[Retro-Virus]

~

[dxcellent0604]

i already got the money for a PS3 all i have to do now is go out and get Unreal Tournament 3, Uncharted, & Ratchet & clank

I should have my copy by the end of this week

Epic & Sony ftw!!

[no_more_heroes]

make your own decisions and enjoy your ps3.

[PStriple703]

can't wait to play it!

[Skerj]

Where the hell are the UT advertisements? I thought Sony was getting their act together and now they're about to drop the ball on this one.

[jackdoe]

But seriously guys, if you want to know what UTIII PS3 will get it, look at the PC Metacritic score for UTIII. I guarantee that the PC and PS3 scores will be off by +/- .1.

[akaFullMetal]

funny how it can never be a 9, ahhahahaha geez whats up with that

[Xbox is the BEST]

3 best selling games on the PS#3 2 of them are shooters. RFOM and COD4. UT3 will sell well on PS#3 not millions well but well. Looks like shooters are starting to dominate the PS#3

[vaan]

Your name is SAD.

[PS3n360]

If it looks as good as gears I will be in heaven. Not to sure if the multiplayer is gonna be my thing since I cant stand Halo run n gun type shooters but what the hell its only a few bux with trade in. I am just starting to get used to the ps3 controller and I dont mind it for shooters at all. damn its gonna be an expensive year.

[DJ]

It looks a Lot better than Gears. =]

[JIN KAZAMA]

the xbox brand users. Most of them seem to live in trailer parks and are a bunch of racist pigs. XBL users have an image of "Dukes of Hazard" if you know what I mean. Very uneducated, childish and closed minded people. I am not surprised at all, that it is being thought of as society's sewer. PSN might have very few of these types of people, but nowhere near the amount you see on XBL. And dont give me the reason because there are much more users, i am taling about percentage wise. Playstation owners are much more classy, much more high tech. PS3 users most likely will have a german or japanese car in their garage, whereas 360 users would most likely have a ford sitting on blocks infront of thier lawn, and maybe a inflatable pool in the backyard.

Thats why i am glad UT3 is on the PS3, so i can play online, I feel bad for teh very few that are decent on XBL.

PLAY B3YOND

[Hugh Hefner]

That is some nasty and retarded sh*t you wrote in there.

[BloodySinner]

Because the puny PSN doesn't have the 8+ million gigantic user base of Xbox Live. And for the record, I'm black, I don't live in a trailer park and I just happen to be a university student.

Oh and please... "i am taling about percentage wise" - Do show us the statistics, because I'm really curious.

But with ignorant comments like yours, it's no surprise you only have two bubbles left. Keep up the good work, champ.

[PS3PCFTW]

bloody sinner, counter stike has 10 times the amount of users than xbl. do you hear idiots running around in there? NO

i agree with jin kazama, 2 more thing i would add into that list is addicts of chemicals and dillusional...........i mean how else would you describe your violent, negative and pessimistic attitudes.

btw, the reason he has 2 bubbles is because xbot morons hate reading the truth. its so simple to piss u guys off. just the mention of rrod sets u guys in flames and thats a known issue. now imagine trying to talk about other facts with people with narrow minds?

dismissive or fact?

to xbots my post is dismissive, to everyone else its fact. then to some that dont bother..........well they simply dont care.

[bootsielon]

He meant ignorant warmongering americans which love shooting games, racing games (especially if they're related to nascar), wrestling, and so on. There are also some RTS fans, MMORPG or WRPG fans (or a more general definition, PC GAMES). However, not many JRPG, fighting game, or in general innovative genre fans; those are on PS3.

[Mwaan]

And you guys have a bunch of agrees. To Jin and PS3PCftw, I seriously doubt either one of you guys spend enough time on xbox live to draw that kind of conclusiion on your own. If you guys represent the PSN, I'm pretty sure I would have an equally negative experience. You guys complain about the trolling as if you all don't do it on 360 articles. If you guys want to know how relavent your opinions are, try spouting off these comments in public. Let me know how it turns out.

[TwissT]

Will knock my socks off!! =D

[PimpHandHappy]

when you see ppl trolling PS3 thread you can take a bubble and b4 you know it these trolls will no longer have a voice on PS3 threads. Let them go into 360threads and circle jerk their bubbles back up

You can also report them as offensive! You can almost smell the Halo players on this thread.....PS3 is Junk im looking at you

We the PPL of the PPL of the most open and free system on the planet need to set a tone and we can all start with forums where we just want a open and free debate on the future of the system of are choice!

CAN I GET A FUK YEA

[JokesOnYou]

"when you see ppl trolling PS3 thread you can take a bubble and b4 you know it these trolls"

and what do you call it when sonykids are in 360 threads making pointless BS comments?

and who *really gives a fook about bubbles, only those "pretenders" trying to sound "in the middle", most likely they are those type of guys you work with that won't tell you to your face when you have a dissagreement, but later they talk sh!t around the office behind your back....ha ha you know who they are the same ones who tell you BS about somebody else when they aren't around= who gives a damm about bubbles,

I like talking about gaming, and I say whatever I like, but I dont just spew mindless "hate" or rants, I at least offer a reasonable viewpoint, but I'm definitely not going to sugar coat my words to appease you sonykids, 'cause imo you kids like Jin Kazama with his stupid anti-micro BS are the worst type of gamers on this planet, not the *sonyfans, just the *sonykids who spew a bunch of senseless BS with every comment, they know who they are=

JOY

[Bombomb]

no ps3 fans whinning and crying... this is new. The game did not get a 9.0, how come no one is crying?

Anyhow this game is aight, def not a system seller. Not everybody is into this genre.

[zapass]

you're too predictable.

[PS3n360]

Thats a great score and only one of many to come. Review scores have been scrutinized lately and I think that scores in general will start to drop in an effort to display credibility by the reviewers ie "I wasn't paid off see? I gave it less than a 10" Only one way to know if a game is fun and thats to play it. anything over an 8 is a buy for me as long as the type of game suits me. I love shooters especially alien horde shooters so this is an automatic buy for me. I will most likely get this on PS3 and 360 for different reasons. I loves me some XBL but also the mods sounds intriguing.

[PS3PCFTW]

fuk no

its pointless and frankly its a waste of time.theyll just create other accounts and return. the whole n4g system of posting is pointless.

you ever seen a new account with 5 bubbbles but with 3-4 negative ps3 posts? or u ever wonder how "icewake" gets about 80 disagrees a day while maintaining 5 bubbles? the system is fucced.

wheres lawman? or is he really "crazy ken kutaragi" now?

[OatLoops]

Awesome game, but I hate having to buy it twice in order to see how my mods work on PS3. I hope a lot of people buy this....we need to give Epic a reason to keep putting games on the console!

[sephy 9 2 5]

The PC version isn't doing too good sale-wise. Hopefully I can freeload off the ideas of others.

[damnwrx]

But, I'm in that list to buy one tomorrow for pick up.....

[PimpHandHappy]

its because we are use to PS3 games getting lower reviews. Look at Warhawk. Anyone that has played that game for more then a hour will tell you that game is over a 8 but most reviews where in the uppers 8's

same goes with HS

MS has American game media by the short hairs and they know what ppl like. FPS's and gamer cards

ADD ON

Yea i guess i will give you the MORE AAA titles. Like 3 more then Sony if you where to go by reviews! Im just of the mind MS used there Money Hat in many ways and it was not for the good of any of us! You love your games! Thats good! Did you have to buy a new 360 because u need HDMI? If Sony wasnt in the market you can bet your aZZ we would have never seen the extended waranty and you would have never seen HDMI put onto a 360!!!!

[Bombomb]

and to finish your sentence

"MS has American game media by the short hairs and they know what ppl like. FPS's and gamer cards and "AAA" titles.

Keepem coming..

[PS3PCFTW]

that is changing as we speak.

why do you thing all the negative xbox news lately.?
why do you think hddvd didnt sell even with a 1 year head start?

i could give you many factors, but the sole one is the fact that people are starting to realize what a pos msft is as a company.

on the concole level, in the office level in the mp3 player level..........nothing but negative news towards their products.

the world is aware of this already, because their not brainwashed into believing that "jumping in" is the way to go.

the media publishes and educates at the same time for those that cant make up their own damn minds, or simply dont know any better.

thats all changing now though. the very essence that made microsoft a success is finally starting to backfire and it goes down to their very business strategy: milk the consumer for everything they got.

[jackdoe]

You guys are freaking retards. UTIII has already come out on the PC, and it has already been reviewed. Since the PS3 and PC versions are virtually identical, there is no difference between the reviews. This score is about on par with what UTIII PC got. There is no conspiracy, no bias.

[Relientk77]

cool sounds good cant wait to get this game

[TheExecutive]

there are a ton of trolls in here. UT3 is better looking than gears... sorry guys but it is, better online too. i am renting this game first as i dont know if i will like the speed of it. But little xbots should quit trolling... it seriously gets old and show how pathetic most of you are.

[40cal]

Just waiting for GameStop to get its shipment in. It is going to be hard finding the time to play UT III and COD4. If only I had another set of arms and an extra PS3.

[DarkSniper]

I applaud Jin Kazama for speaking his opinion on actual facts based upon online statistics.

If you do not know already, there are youtube videos of XBOX Live users flaming an individual due to his sexuality. Also with that are several other Halo videos of childish,uncouth imbesiles who tread the internet of XBOX live.

It would be foolish of Dark Sniper to say that this type of language and behavior does not commence on the Playstation Network. But due to it's mature community and open sourced structure, the trolling and excessive language has been kept to a minimum. Not often or if ever do you see videos of verbally abusive users on the Playstation Network.

The XBOX 360 provides gamers 50.00 a year or what most Microkids like to spin off as 4.00 a month to hear racial and homophobic remarks from children who need parental monitoring.

It would be justified if this situation was moreso in Sony's behalf because the PSN is absolutely free of charge and the cliche states that "you get what you pay for". But in this sense, you pay nothing for online gaming for the PLAYSTATION 3 and recieve superior service with friendly members.

Once again, Microsoft implements their slave driving tendencies amongst millions of XBOX users.

$niper

[jackdoe]

I think it also helps that many PS3 owners don't have a headset. By providing every owner with a headset, all you do is open the door to trash talking. Many online games have simplified themselves to the point where you really don't need to communicate. Whenever I play Halo 3, I find that I don't need to communicate and that I mute whoever tries to trash talk.

[Legend]

While I disagree with you about the neccessity of communication on the digital battlefield (teams that win a lot tend to talk to each other a lot), I agree completely that including a microphone packed in with each console gives many who shouldn't be talking the ability to ruin the experience for others. But, its the internets, and its annonymous, and it gives unbalanced people the annonimity necessary to say the things that would otherwise get their faces smashed in public.

Catch that 22.

[Altair-HD]

hey trolls if you need us were gonna be playing UT3 tomorrow, ok !!!

did I said UT3?? yess Unreal Tournament 3, ok, meanwhile you can change your xcrap control batteries

LLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL L!!!!!!!!!

[ROCCOZILLA]

this game is gonna be insane.i hope the grafics are as good as killzone 2.PLAY B3YOND!

[mintaro]

honestly you guys are too quick with he trigger, i was just stating that UT3 will be a great game an although i do not own a PS3 i would like the game when it eventually comes out for the 360.
And yes i know that Home is also for the PS3, and it is my avatar because i think it's a good idea in general and the icon looks cool.

so as you stated before i am not trying to mock he PS3 nor am i a fanboy in anyway, all i stated was my aniticipation for this game, nothing else.
and i am a pretty weird cookie, lol

[bootsielon]

Seriously, who cares if it didn't get "9 and above", it's still AAA, AAA doesn't mean 9.0 and above you moronic Xbots. Assassin's creed is a pretty good game and it's around the 8.5 range. PGR, Crackdown, Saint's Row, Lost Planet, Dead Rising, Stranglehold, Prey, the Darkness... these are all "8 games" and are pretty good if you're hardcore. Same for uncharted, ratchet, resistance, warhawk, heavenly sword, folklore and motorstorm if i'm not missing something. You just might want to think twice if all you buy is 3 games each generation; in that case, you might want a 9.5+ game, and one that actually appeals to you (just because the Orange Box has great ratings it doesn't mean you should get it; if you don't like shooters, what's the freaking point).

The only people that need 9.5+ games are casual gamers which don't dislike (or love) a particular genre, and that's because 9.5+ games are usually genre defining. Hardcore gamers just need great games, and you don't need a 9 to buy them. In the end, you should have personality instead of being a sheep, xbot, lemming, or whatever you want to be called and choose what game you like, even if it's Lair, Jericho or whatever (not saying they're bad, simply that you shouldn't take reviews as gospel).

Edit:

"your an idiot"

So says the one that wants to buy a new Xbox in 2009 (LOL).

"A triple-A game has to be rated 90 and above, along with other requirements"

Says the association for AAA games or what? Seriously, what "requirements" do AAA games need, and who certified metacritic, gamerankings and gamestats? Who reviews the reviewers? Stop being a sheep for once and learn to make your own opinion, "idiot".

Edit:

I'm not trying to convince myself something is AAA. To me AAA is measured in production values, not in "scores". Anyway, the point is that AAA is, at best, subjective, and at worst, it's a stupid label that Xbots use every day since the mart spread the word (and of course, Xbots followed). Furthermore, magazines scores don't really matter anymore, especially since the GameSpot fiasco; so, you could say I agree with you, PLAY THE GAMES, not the game reviews since they're at best subjective and at worst, worthless.

stop splitting hair Sony boy

A triple-A game has to be rated 90 and above, along with other requirements

you can think a game is good, you can think a game is great

but AAA isn't an individuals opinion

suck it up and just play your games

[toughNAME]

Hey I'm not the one trying to convinced MYSELF a game is a AAA when its not

some games are AAA, some aren't

" uncharted, ratchet, resistance, warhawk, heavenly sword, folklore and motorstorm"

^^^all great games that should be enjoyed...why do you NEED to classify them as AAA?

Why does it matter? Just play the games

[joydestroy]

can't wait to open this up on xmas!!!

[sheng long]

ToughNAME: AAA has to be 90 and above? says who, THE MART? LMAO

[agent864]

his scores actually average out to 9.1 yet he deducted .3 for no apparent reason.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

As always people, get your head out of your ass! This year don't have teached nothing to you? Reviews are all about preferences, even platform preference, hype also...

People have been talking about Halo here... Really, there is no need to compare it with a new game, take a one year old game... If you go for every feature, Resistance is probably better than Halo, it has better graphics, better weapons with more creative shots/secondary shots, better/more equilibrate maps, better online (40 people, no lag)... So what? Halo was always the big seller on Xbox, Resistance wasn't nothing two years ago, literally. In fact, even a year ago, Halo 3 was the waiting to the second coming of Christ, while Resistance was that shooter, that nobody played, and that is supposed to be something good, on that console that no one want to have (or at least, no one want to have to pay for it).

Motorsotm, in other way, is boring as hell. It's really isn't great, not that good too. The only good thing in it is that, when it comes, there isn't many options, so most likely every PS3 owner on the time, have his MotorStorm, so you really can have fun online, most talking crap than playing.

Uncharted is other good example. It has really great graphics, anyone that don't see it is just blind. The combination of graphics with animation also is just great, when the guy moves, it's just like a real person moving, your clothes move, you get wet, dirt, all. You can run or jump as much you can fall or stumble. The history is also good, the location, all that "clues" in spanish (considering the spanish environment) is just right, the gameplay, everything. Still, it don't get that much "10s" rates as Halo or Gears Of Wars.

Mass Effect is a great game, not my cup of tea in the story side, still I admit it's a huge game. It has issues? Sure. But not that much games have delivered a so good experience. So do Assassin's Creed. Medium rate? 8 to 9... Good old times, when that GTA could get great reviews just for being fun, despite being all bugged.

What about Zeck & Wiki? One of the (it not just "the") better games on the Wii, it's feels fresh, and is fun. What about Metroid Prime 3? That story was killer! And is the only game I get used to wiimote and think it was useful. But no, those games are on the Wii, don't matter where they are fun or not, never a 10... Oh wait, you have Mario Sunshine there... Oops, misspelled, sorry, Mario Galaxy... But really, it's good, but any fresh? That fun? I don't think so, the port of New Super Mario Bros and Super Paper Mario was more fun, even one being a DS game and the other being projected to the Game Cube...

Good feedback for your great review on that Final Fantasy DCLXII, mass clicking for that annoying review on Bioshock 2, paid reviews for Kane & Lynch (oops, this is actually true)... Really, you can't go more on reviews and hope that 0 to 10 rate is equally divided and applied to every game. Some games are great and get 8s, but some really aren't worth it getting 9s and 10s ("AAA").

[detroitkid]

Gamezone gave it

8.5 for gameplay

9.6 for graphics

9.1 for sound

8.7 for concept

and 9.7 for multiplayer

that averages out to a 9.1!! (9.12 exactly)
Are they knocking off .3 points because its a playststion 3 game. Are they using some mystical overall scoring system. Or is their math just coincidentally off.

[Bathyj]

And how can it only be 8.5 for gameplay, but 9.7 for multiplayer. I dont understand that, it doesn't make sense. If MP's so good shouldn't the GP be up they too, unless they say GP in single player is 8.5 but what sense does that make. Or maybe they're say MP is that much better th SP but thats dumb too because isnt the main bulk of the game the MP focus? Its really weird. Smells more like they through in a lower just to bring the total down. Yeah I know ya ya ya M$ paid off every one, but just tell me how GP could be that low when the main GP focus is apparently 3 point shy of perfection and all the other important aspects of the game were high too?

[Mercutio]

I REALLY liked Gears of War, but can anyone tell me if this is anywhere near Gears? Is it worth me buying?

IS IT AWESOME?

[prodg52]

it's my first UT game and it's awesome! I'm getting killed a lot because it's very fast paced, but i'm starting to get the hang of it. Highly recomend this game

[Bathyj]

Dude, if you dont know by now, you'll have to play it to decide.

Yes, the game will be awesome. Is it your FLAVOUR of awesome is what should be the question. If you like the style then you'll like the game.

[Mercutio]

I think this is the start of PS3 gamers buying more games..

BTW

UT III OWNZ GEARS IN GRAPHICS!!!!

[shrimpboat]

I will be buying this game at noon tommorrow.

[CaliGamer]

Add me PSN:Tashito
Give me a day or too to get into the game as I haven't played a UT game since the PS2 days.

[fopums]

they gave it a 9.7 in multiplayer, and thats where UT3 lives. why are people complaining?

UT rock's, its fragging goodness and now it has hover boards, giant spider mechs and uber tanks.

oh and mod's, kb/m support ;P

[Achievement Unlocked]

Personally I find the level of ignorance in some of your comments to be sickening.

Your children. Nothing more. Actually your nothing at all. Just a kid
with a keyboard. I don't care how old any of you are, because the fact is that you act like 12 year olds.

I can't believe people type sh!t like this and aren't castrated so they can't possibly pollute the rest of the planet.

There are so many of you in here. Your all pathetic.

"There is just something trashy about
the xbox brand users. Most of them seem to live in trailer parks and are a bunch of racist pigs. XBL users have an image of "Dukes of Hazard" if you know what I mean."

^^^ And he has agrees, as well as people congratulating him on his "well thought out" remarks that are so full of ignorant hate and close-mindedness it's ridiculous. Good job jerking eachother off children, because thats what you are. If you can't just enjoy the games, without posting ignorant bullsh!t about fans of another console you truly aren't a gamer. Your more like a b!tch. Someone who enjoys drama and other bullsh!t. I hope you kids enjoy your fake ass "reality" shows, since your comments reflect the average IQ of the viewers.

Generalizations are one of the first steps to prejudice. You group everyone into one category from what you believe in your mind to be true. "All 360 users are rednecks", "All Ps3 owners are loyal clowns".
The reality is that YOU are the idiot.

I really can't believe what gaming has come to. I really can't sit here forever and type everything I feel about you pathetic children.

Hydrolex- "We PS3 fans = Honest" --- Really, are you?

MetalProxy- "360 owners will want and wait for a looooooong time" --- What kind of ignorant comment is that? How long have you been waiting as a PS3 owner? Do tell.

JIN KAZAMA - Do I even need to quote this massive PoS?

PS3PCFTW - "xbot morons hate reading the truth" --- Wow I didn't know that the truth was your blind opinions.

bootsielon - "He meant ignorant warmongering americans which love shooting games" --- Thanks for perpetuating the nonsense. You do realize what you said makes you a fool right?

DarkSniper - Wow when your finished blowing JIN KAZAMA do you think you might be interested in gaming?

Altair-HD - "yess Unreal Tournament 3, ok, meanwhile you can change your xcrap control batteries " --- Couldn't come up with a logical argument could you? And you get agrees for your well thought out remark.

Astro- Do you really feel the need to perpetuate the fanboyism?

All I can do is try to laugh off the hate I feel for you ignorant people. And hope that one day you realize what a douche you've been. Either that or I pray that your parents realize what a sh!thead they brought into this world and take upon themselves to smother you out of it.

The thing is, I don't really see very many "Xbots", or "trolls" in here . But what I do see is a dozen or so pathetic Ps3 owners trying to take a stab wherever they can. To the people in here who actually love gaming, own Ps3's and are rational thinkers, not fanboys, none of my comment is directed to you.

It's like this online 'war of words' means so much to their pathetic hearts and minds.

Get a f*cking girlfriend. Don't tell me you have one, I really don't believe you.

[Edwin1989]

you're absolutely right, all PS3 fan(boy)s are morons and all 360 fan(boy)s are reincarnated Jesuses...

dude shut up and go back to the 360 section

[Lord Cheese]

absolutely superb. probably the best comment i've read on this site.

Although, i think it would be somewhat wrong of me not to point out the fatal flaw in your logic - you cant communicate with morons. No matter how well thought out your argument may be, it will fall on deaf ears. The bubble of stupidity in which they surround themselves will never be penetrated by logic or rational thought.

Bubbles for you - long may you try and set these damn schoolkids straight.

UPDATE: I'd like to point out that a lot of xbox fanboys are just as bad. This particular thread might be a bit quiet in terms of 360 fanboys making stupid comments, but that in now way reflects the rest of this site. I wont mention names, but quite frankly they deserve exactly the same contempt at times. The fact that there is such a thing as a fanboy makes real gamers sick.

[fanboyssuck]

arguing over multiplayer services. Just enjoy the game. And the reason you don't hear the same amount of garbage being spewed from PSN players is becasue A) Not everyone has a mic. so most people dont even talk to each other B) Xbox in N. America is played online by a lot of college students hence all the bad language etc.

[The Dude]

I would wait for the 360 version it will have better graphics and framerate.

[MvC Xtrm]

Gears of War still remains supreme

[Mercutio]

but UTIII owns gears in graphics, cos of PC & PS3 (360 cant do that& UT3 on 360 will be less graphically accomplished ).

AND Gears of War 2 will be less of a graphical improvement, the reason being that the XboX360 is not powerfull enough...

I think they should give it a Gears -Like Trailer, you know, with a sad song, like phil collins or sumtin' ^__^

[Bleucrunch]

I have to wait until I get my lunch break to get the game so IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII cant wait everyone get the game and get online nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!

[AshleyRiot]

I slept in today wake up BAM UT3 on the pillow next to me and my girlfriend standing over me smiling. Gonna go play some now :)

[PS3n360]

My lady did the same thing when Gears came out.

[PS3n360]

I am looking online and it appears to be sold out at futureshop and bestbuy. Gonna have to hit up some smaller game shops I think.

[hardcorehippiez]

as usual we're gettin the game after every1 else - it sucks

[prodg52]

too bad i have to be at work at 4:( First UT game and i'm already addicted!

[razer]

This has been the only review I've seen and the game is on store shelves.. Usually we are flooded with reviews for high profile titles.. hrmmm..

[atomdooze]

Never liked the game that much.

[shrimpboat]

I just got my copy and played it for three hours. The game great and the Unreal Engine is looking very good and running very smooth on the PS3. This will make it easier for 3rd partys to make games on the PS3. This is my first time playing a UT game and it is fast. They say they slowed it down on the PS3 and the PC version is faster. Im glad the slowed it down because to me it is still very fast on the PS3. Very fun. The Single player cut scenes remind me of Gears of War because the music is close.

[sonyfanonly]

and this is how they would review it if the 360 version landed first

360 - 10
pc - 10
ps3 - 7.5

even though its the same F^C^ING game do you smell paid off by M$
