It’s been a long time coming, not only because this is the first Unreal to hit seventh generation consoles, but because Unreal Tournament came out last year on PC and has had console owners longing for this release.

 

When you first get behind the gun of Unreal Tournament 3, it is difficult not to be amazed by the sheer speed of it. The game is like a cheetah on steroids.

 

There are two features within Unreal Tournament 3 that really stand out and make this a game worth buying. Firstly a keyboard and mouse can be used and secondly the game can be ‘modded’ much in the same way as PC games have been able to for years.  

 

Anybody familiar with the Unreal Tournament series will realize when playing this game that Epic Games have stuck to the arena style combat that has always served the series so well. The problem is that things have moved on since those days and the arena style can lack some depth.

 

The game is really well polished both graphically and audibly and the fast paced gameplay make Unreal Tournament III one of the finest first person shooters available for the PlayStation3.

 

SCORE: 8 / 10
