Unreal Championship 2 - Xbox Game (Retro Fam)

From someone who has actually PLAYED the game. (I dont' understand how someone who hasn't played it can review it one way or the other).In any event, the games is good. Very good. If you're familiar at all with the Unreal Tournament/PC series, you will feel right at home here. The player models, game types and some of the maps for UC are the same as UT2003/PC, but the graphics are not as good. To be fair, pumping the graphics on UT2003 makes it look incredibly pretty, but the game begins to chug, even on my high-end PC. I haven't played UC Live or Multiplayer yet, maybe tonight. But the single player experience looks pretty darned good so far.Does the game suffer from anything??? The same thing all fps type games suffer from on consoles . . . NO MOUSE/TRACKBALL SUPPORT. Moving, looking and shooting with the thumbsticks is an imprecise study in frustration. Why oh Why hasn't a third party developer come up with a simple trackball type device. It would DEFINITELY make games like this more enjoyable and reduce the learning curve for people coming over from the PC world.Don't expect much of a story line here. There isn't one. UC is a sport where you kill the other guy, or take his flag, or toss the ball into his base thing (bombing run). That's all you need to know.If you're an action gamer who is used to the fps control scheme, GET THIS WITHOUT HESITATION. If you had a choice between UC/xbox and UT2003/PC *I've got both :), I'd say go PC simply because of the possi.

I got this game thinking it would be better than Halo. Unreal Championship is fun but it just doesn't have that same flavor of Halo. When I shoot someone with a minigun, I expect him/her to die quickly. Same with the rocket launcher. I just don't like it when someone survives 3 rockets shot at them. I really don't like the rocket launcher. It doesn't look like one and it doesn't look like you're shooting a rocket. It is very confusing if you want to play multiplayer. There is no multiplayer option in the menu, yet multiplayer is available; up to 4 on one Xbox. I haven't played xbox online yet but if I had a choice between Halo and Unreal Champinship, I'd play Halo.

Great game based on Unreal Engine 2 (obviously) intended for multiplayer, but is also good for the lone offline gamer because it uses BOTS! Bungi should take notice. Now half the games out there seem to use a modified Unreal engine...Love the taunts.

First time I played this game, I went straight to Live play. And I did not like it at all. It just seemed like senseless killing with absolutely no point. Then I tried the single player mode. It helped me ease my way into this game and reduced the learning curve immenseley. Now, I only played Team Deathmatch mode in single player before I had to return it (it was a rental), and that was the only mode of play I could get into. So maybe if I played the the other modes offline I would have enjoyed them more. Nonetheless, Team Deathmatch was still more fun than any other Live game, once you get into it. To me, it felt like some kind of extreme basketball game where instead of getting points you had to kill. At one point when we were winning we all decided to get together and find a hiding spot. I had never experienced such levels of teamwork in any Live game, even Ghost Recon (the fact that you have to press the white button to to talk leaves many players mute)!Also, no other Live game takes advantage of the service better than this game. It has better than average Quick Match and Optimatch features, player rankings, 4 player guest support, downloadable content (coming soon...), and more!!! It will be a long time before another game uses Live as well as this one.Though you really need to play aat least a little bit of the single player mode first, I don't reccomend this game to anyone who doesn't have Xbox Live. Otherwise, this is definately the game to get with your XBL Starter.

If u have Xbox or Xbox Live u should definitely get this game. I own and its absolutely the best. How can anyone say anything bad about this game? There must somebody that never really played this game or isn't a Xbox fan like some of us. this totally is better than UT2003 and is probably gonna be the best multiplayer and Xbox Live game ever but Halo 2 would probably be the King of Games. I say it again: Get this game if u have Xbox.
