Unreal Tournament 3 PS3 Review



If you love original Unreal Tournament at the year 1999, then you might like this game that did already came out in 2007-08. Unreal Tournament 3 is a FPS game for PS3, X360 and PC which is published by Midway and developed by Epic Games. It is the fourth installiement game on the series and it's a sequel to UT2003-04. The story takes place after the UT2003-04, Reaper and the group of Ronins has the mission to fight off the Necris forces to save the planet, when Reaper who wanted to kill Akasha for his revenge. 
I say the storyplot is decent with intresting story development and the characters are quite much like the Gears of War which is cool and it's far impressive with good presentation and replay valves.
There are differences of between PS3 and X360 has their own features. X360 version has 5 exclusive maps, two exclusive characters and 2 player split screen mode which is also released later for PS3 version which included on patch 2.0 updates. PS3 version supports mods that you can download it from communities menu which contains maps, characters and modes. You can also import your own mods by uploading from USB pen drive or external hard drive which the mods can be found from the websites, such as http://www.ut3mod.com/ which I do not recommended downloading from the site and then importing into PS3 which sometimes it can freezes your game while loading the match. It's entirely up to you, if you wish to want to use mods on your PS3, then try it, but if it's doesn't work, then delete all contents from mod browser menu and use PC version instead, if you have PC version of this game. It can also support keyboard and mouse inputs as well for PS3 version which comes in handy.
There are the set of each game modes for both campaign and muiltiplayer, such as Deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag and warfare. The campaign also has co-op mission as well for both online and offline mode. The gameplay has terrific controls with very precised movement and excellent combat gameplay. There are choices of outstanding weapons, such as enforcer pistols, rocket launcher, flak cannon, stock rifle, sniper rifle, link gun, bio rifle and stinger minigun which has great shooting range, well balanced targeting and very accurate shot. You can ride on vehicles such as tanks, spaceship and hoverboard which is pretty cool. You can also play with keyboard and mouse which is kinda awesome idea for PS3 gamers who had the experienced with PC games before. I say the mulitiplayer matches is totally fun to play for online and offline mode and the campaign is epic as ever with great atmosphere is worth challenging. 
The graphics are far superior to modern consoles with Unreal Engines 3 which gives you a best looking character's design, outstanding backgrounds and textures, awesome visuals, and incredible 3D animation which makes the best graphics on the seventh generation consoles.
The music and sounds has excellent music with kick ass electronic and techno soundtrack, superb sound effects and great voice acting for characters and announcer.
The special features comes with titan pack which conteins 11 maps, 2 new modes and the titan mutator. The patch 2.0 gives the PS3 version that formerly included to X360, such as splitscreen, 5 maps and 2 characters. It also has mods browser to download and uploads the mods.

Final Verdict

Here is my bottom line.

Graphics 9.1/10 - Best looking character's design, outstanding backgrounds and textures, awesome visuals, and incredible 3D animation.

Music and Sounds 8.9/10 - Excellent music with kick ass electronic and techno soundtrack, superb sound effects and great voice acting for characters and announcer.

Special Features 8.9/10 - It's comes with titan pack which conteins 11 maps, 2 new modes and the titan mutator. The patch 2.0 gives the PS3 version that formerly included to X360, such as splitscreen, 5 maps and 2 characters. It also has mods browser to download and uploads the mods.


Overall 8.9/10 - Unreal Tournament 3 is a fantastic FPS game. It's epic, It's ultra violence and It's pure badass. If the game comes with regular patch 1.0, I would give it 8.6/10, but I've just giving this game a higher score for brought us the Patch 2.0 features and DLC pack. I highly recommended to all real FPS gamers to buy it because Unreal Tournament is a real men's games.
