Unreal Tournament III (Playstation 3, 2007)

The Unreal Tournament series has been around for years. Generally having a welcome home on PC's the third incarnation works on changing that. Unreal Tournament 3 is a beautiful and fast paced shooter that has been perfectly ported over to the Playstation 3 console.

From the very get go this game gives you several different options. I want to cover all of these so you can become more familiar with what you want out of the game. Many look at the Unreal Tournament as an online only style shooter. I will tell you that it is much more than that.

The game actually has a story based mode. This is little less on the story and generally a great way to get people into the game and familiar with the game modes. So if you are expecting an involved story you should probably go elsewhere. You get all the difficulty settings from casual to very hard. For someone like me who has never played Unreal Tournament I played casual to get more familiar with the game. One thing I can say after playing the story for several hours it is not simple on any level. The A.I. is actually excellent giving me more of a challenge than I ever expected.

Next the game has instant action where you can go from death match to team death match and the other true favorites like capture the flag. There are other game types available also. This instant action is played against the bots who provide plenty of competition. This is also another great way to improve your skills before you take on the real competition.

Now is the most interesting part and that is the online. This game provides an almost seamless online experience as you can take on 15 others in some matches. What keeps this game fresh is the incredible amount of maps that never get old. The game modes also provide for frantic fun. The game play is incredibly fast paced which is unlike any shooter I have ever played.

If you are looking for a fun sci-fi shooter that is non-stop action then Unreal Tournament 3 should be up your ally. This game has been done perfectly on the PS3. From the incredible graphics to the amazingly quick game play. It's hard not to get addicted to the fun in this game. Shooter fans this game is well worth at least a look if not a purchase.
