Great! But, what happened to the millions of maps? |
| Rob Varner from Pittsburgh, USA says (2/Mar/2003): |
This has to be one of the most amazing games ive ever played for my xbox. Graphics are a 4 thumbs up, well, if i had that many thumbs. The amount of characters is amazing. The maps are nice and large for good games and matches but, whatever happened to the 5000 other maps from unreal tournament? I have all of the unreals for computer except for Unreal 2 and i have seen great improvements from each version to the next. In normal Unreal, there were monsters to kill in single player which were stupidly removed with bots who have 0 skill in Unreal Tournament even at godly skill mode. From Unreal Tournament to Unreal Tournament 2003, guns were improved, as long as amount of characters, but again. Where are all the maps from UT? Gone, gone for good sadly, unless they are back in Unreal 2. Ubisoft made another version, Unreal Chamionship for the XBox. I have gotten the chance to borrow this from my friend in trade for NHL 2k3. The graphics are pure amazing. Amount of characters is great, models, eye shattering, amount of guns, wow. I was suprised to see that brock and laruen from the intro were not in the starting list of characters. Im still working on getting them through the tournament mode. I love the maps and textures in them. They are nicely sized, not too big, not too small. But where are the maps from unreal tournament. I see like 2 or 3 that were carried over from UT, but where are the rest. Where are the custom maps and long lists for each and every type of game. Where is the no time limit on instant action? Ill tell u where. It was never put in. The game was rushed like a previous reviewer said. If they spent a little more time on it, maybe there would be more maps, and no time limit. Maybe even more characters and guns. Overall i give this game 9 stars. Graphics-great Guns and animations-WOW! Character list and stats-makes it worth the while to learn to master Maps-amazing textures and size but not nearly enought to have fun on, or to have a favorite, mutators-kinda useless, they dont do much for the game and it needs more. Overall 9

second best FPS ever (just behinde halo) |
| Graywolf from Colorado Springs Colorado USA says (21/Aug/2003): |
Awsome weapons, good graphics, and fast combat action come together in a way other games have yet to achive. Unreal Championship is definitly one of my favorite games ever. And it only gets better online. This game also has the coolest rocketlauncher of any game ever. definitly a must buy for FPS fans, or people who need a FPS.

Console oOnline gaming is here to stay at last!!! |
| Ma.TE.ri@ from Birmingham, UK says (20/Feb/2003): |
Having only an 830 Celeron and a TNT 2 my chances for running Unreal 3 was pretty
Slim, so I was pleased when Unreal Championship was released and I saw that Live enabled logo on the box, an instant buy I thought I think so. I was even more pleased to find that the live could be accessed with the Unreal disc, and that it was broadband compatible, and Telewest were doing X-Box live in my area. So I hooked up and never looked back. The game graphics are beautiful and to watch it run at such a smooth 60fps < remove me > at 60hz even online with a 4 ping and 16 characters was a cool sight. I will have to admit though the one player game is pretty poor and the whole purpose for this game is for online fun and trust me that’s what it is. This is the ultimate online experience to date with a whole array of different characters and wrapped up with stunning visuals and sound. The action is fast and pumping and with the communicator you can speak with another 3 people on selected channels. Its defiantly shows the X-Box live potential and should be in every owners collection.
Excellent!!!

It Was and still is tremendous! |
| Taylor from Waukesha Wisconsin, United State of America says (17/Mar/2003): |
It was great to run around feeling as if you had the fate of someone or something else in your ammo clip. The graphics were astonishing, but I've seen better. It was packed with gameplay, but it was quite challenging at some points. The first game I bought when I got Xbox was Halo it was a great game, but this is better. The levels were awesome and the weaponry was very smooth. I encourage most people to purchase it, but this is not a childrens game!

Best FPS in multiplayer mode. |
| A gamer from Hays, Ks says (1/Apr/2003): |
UC is definetely one of a kind. Smooth graphics and plenty of action nicely mixed to create an interesting gameplay that allow people without experience in the Unreal series jump into the action. Balanced races to choose from and weapons for every taste and strategy are main features of UC. DOn't try to compare Halo with UC since they are 2 different genre games. Halo is The Huge FPS for the single player fan, while UC is unique for the multiplayer fan. In some areas Halo is definetely inferior to UC, example: when you shoot somebody in the head with the Shotgun they just bleed when everybody with a working brain could tell that it should be nasty. UC reachs a higher level of reality talking about gore than Halo.
UC rewards violent players using Homo sapiens Tarantis or medusae by regenerating them according to the damage they inflict in their victims, while in Halo the typical shoot and hide strategy is more ideal. If you want a violent FPS multiplayer with interesting gore (realism for genre experts) UC is what you are looking for, if you want a single player action Halo is your best call. Both games provide beautiful graphics and the framerate is not very different. If you are looking for a unique Xbox live game Unreal Championship is the answer.

"I cannot believe my eyes, this is unreal!" |
| $Teddy$ from MILWAUKEE - SOUTH SIDE says (15/May/2004): |
This is what princess diana said when she found out that the royal families are really not human but a race of shape shifting reptiles with ambitions to rule the entire planet.
]Now to the Review of UNREAL Championship for XboX[
This game is fast, furious, fun, and UNREAL. I first got interested in UNREAL when i bought UNREAL tournement for PS2. That game was awesome, so when i found out it was coming to tha boX, i said "your mother knows how to use her tounge really well!". But at that time i was strapped for loot, so i waited and waited and waited until it hit the twenty dollar price tag. When it did i knocked out the clerk and broke the display glass. I screamed UNREAL and grabbed a UNREAL championship game and left Target in a nintendo ultra 64 induced rage. So when i got home i put in it. UNREAL Championship is a great addition to the UNREAL series. It is very different then UNREAL Tournement. Better in most areas, and worse in one. Another thing about UNREAL Championship is it has a limited amount of levels and should have the levels from UNREAL Tourement also.
There is no real solid story behind UNREAL Championship, but there doesn't need to be one. This game is about first person insane death battles and the gameplay layers over the small story element. If you like killing people first person style and playing with some friends then you will like this game bro.
Graphics - 10
The graphics are slick and polished. While you run through the different arenas the graphics really shine. The graphics are just stunning (serious my friend Ducan had one of those video game comas while eyeballing the eygptian arena and saying "Whoa that's some crazy graphics Twad")(Twad is my other friend) So be carefull. What else can I say about the graphics except as previously stated they are second best to Halo.
Weapons - 7
Weapons are always important in FPS. The reason UNREAL Championship got a seven is because it seems they dumbed down the weapons and tried to make it a simple selection. What i mean by this is they added two new guns but didn't include three from UNREAL Tournement. The double pistols, the saw blade gun, and the sniper rifle. WHY??? That was stupid and let me down and im sure other UNREAL Tournement fans down also. But the weapons they did include from the last were all upgraded for the better but feel dumbed down. The weapons are all still awesome. Don't let the 7 fool you, even though they didn't include three guns from UNREAL Tournement the weapons are still good and plently.
Everything Else - 100%
This game is the in the top five best games out now for XboX on my list and is fun to play with a group of friends (prefablly females that will strip each time they get fragged). The graphics are great, the levels are great, The fun factor is strong, and the replay value is also very strong (like my pelvis muscule b*tc*).
Get this game sissy and stop trying on your mothers underwear!
P.S. - If you are a < remove me > at $$clown they don't get this game get some RPG with faries in it

Excellent, but very fast game play. |
| Will from Upland, USA says (11/Nov/2002): |
I got the beta version for xbox when i paided 20 dollars extra. I played the game and it is incredible. I felt like I was actually in the game with its graphics. but the game is so fast. you have to have an experts eye. so thats the only reason i took it down a point. But if you can handle, you will be hooked on Unreal games!

The Best |
| A gamer says (17/Nov/2002): |
This game is awesome. You get to build your own team and you actually feel good when they advance at skills. Then you finally get to fight in the championship in the end.
|
This game is Unreal |
| Michael Halford from Severn, USA says (19/Nov/2002): |
I believe this game is a breathe of fresh air to grace the xbox console. It has amazing physics, eye exploding graphics and a unique variety of weapons and characters to choose from. When i first got it I was a little discomfort with it because although the controls were like halo it was a whole lot faster. Also when playing this game online, the replay value of it shoots straight through the sky.
|
The best XBox game ever!!! |
| Killer from pasadena,tx,usa says (23/Nov/2002): |
This game is better than the PC version. The only bad thing about it is that the CPU is easy on godlike. When i first got it i was like killing them one by one. For all those who agree rock. Hopefully play you online.
|
Best, Game, Ever!!!! |
| Joel says (24/Nov/2002): |
this has to be the best shooter game ever made up in the video game generation! it is very good, not glitchy at all. this game was made perfectly. If they make a sequel, im defenitly getting it without a dought!
|
Unreal is the Real Deal |
| Marco Polo from St.Louis, MO says (25/Nov/2002): |
I finally played Unreal Championship & I'm truly satisfied. I was a hard-core Unreal Tournament fan on the PC & even the Dreamcast. I do miss some of the game-playing options from the original. But Champ. is just as good. Any true fan of Unreal will love this new edition.
|
Great all around game for true 1st person shooter fans |
| kickazdude from iowa city IA, USA says (25/Nov/2002): |
This is a great all around game. The graphics are amazing, the guns are new and original (especially the T.A.G. rifle), and the sound is great. Unreal Championship does things right. It has many different characters to choose from to suite any and all tastes you might have and i really liked the whole gaining ability attribute. The action is very fast paced which keeps you on the edge of your seat through the whole game. I like how headshots are not easy to get but not far out of reach either in this game. I've even seen my bots do it. The game can get pretty hard sometimes if you dont use your bots right, especially on double domination but thats what makes this game great. You need to know how to use them and play them out to your advantages. This game has a good replay value because you can make up so many different possible teams. And the multiplayer is incredible, its a lot more fun when you have another human mind to fight against rather than the bots though. I brought it down though because its only four players tops unless you go online. That just messes it up when i get together with 5 of my friends and we have to keep rotating the controllers around. Over all though i thought this game was great and if you like 1st person shooters this is the game for you.

It's worth buying, that's for sure! |
| A gamer from fairmont, wv, usa says (28/Nov/2002): |
Man, this game is a MUST HAVE for any FPS fan. I simply love it, from the new game modes to the new weapons. Although HALO will always be the best FPS in my heart, Unreal Championship ain't far off, and may pass even HALO after i get Xbox Live. All I am saying is, if you like FPS, and you've got an Xbox, you'd be insane not to get this game... CAPTURE THE FLAG RULES!!!

The fragfest of life |
| Yoshi from Birmingham, Alabama says (4/Dec/2002): |
Ah, nothing better than getting home from a long day and pulling outh your lightning gun and shooting peoples heads off. This is a definete step up from unreal's of the past, though closely resembles 2003 for the comp. This is one of my personal favorite games. You can't get a better fast pased non-mission based FPS, espicaly with such a high quality as the xbox provides for this game. I give it a nine cause nothing is perfect till Halo 2.
|
This has got to rock! |
| A gamer says (8/Dec/2002): |
This game is one of the best I have ever played! I never expected such a good game, I rented it this weekend over halo and now I'm glad I did! I love playing it and it never gets boring! Although I dont understand the tag gun..
|
Good Game Over all |
| miller from usa md says (18/Dec/2002): |
i think this is a great game over all but the single player is kinda boring and i think halo had a better idea yet the guns adreline and multiplayer is great i think the makers got bored when they came to making single player
|
Unreal ...a speed shootter for quick hands |
| Dynamo from Rimouski, Quebec, Canada says (26/Dec/2002): |
I love the way it's a quick game. You die, you respawn and you're ready to kick some guys out there. It's sure that sometimes, you can just stand behind a wall and wait for someone to shoot him with your lightning gun, but somebody would arrive fast from behind and kill you with rocket or etc...
I very like the survival mode....very easy in big map(refer to winter map) but difficult in mini-maps....
What I VERY DISLIKE is that we need more options!!!! Like : How bots do you want in your game? Can we put some bad guys with very best bots? Also, bots in professionnal mode are not difficult....there's just impossible to beat....all time they shot they hit you and kill you,blabla......I said same thing for last level in halo and now it's easy...
Other very big dislike: When you play with someone(split-screen), you add him to your game and now one team is one more than the other....IMBALANCE!!! ...or it's me that don't know how to do correct MP (split-screen). If it's me....contact me by e-mail....
UC is a very good fast game...the best on XBOX and I just can't wait to have XBOX live!!! 10 out of 10
|
NICE |
| David from Illinois, USA says (2/Jan/2003): |
Well to the person who was wondering why the teams are imbalanced in split screen multiplayer GIVE THE BOT on YOUR TEAM TIME, AND HE WILL AUTOMATICALLY SWITCH OVER AFTER HE DIES A COUPLE TIMES. Overall this game is great and i saw that alot of people say that the single player could've use some more thought but if you played previous UNREAL games all the single player campaigns are like that.
|
For the most part, a great game. |
| Ross from Boston, Massachusetts, USA says (3/Jan/2003): |
This game is solid in most catagories but I do have some complaints. The frame rate is really low and that is not a good thing in a game this fast and hectic. The AI is a little bit easy. This game gets boring really fast until you get on Xbox Live. Now for the good stuff. The graphics are very good for a next-gen console but for the Xbox they are just good. If you like the style of gameplay then you will love this. It is very fast so if you like a slower plotting, scheming style game this isn't for you (though you will probably like it anyway, it is hard not to). Multi-player, multi-player and more multi-player. This game is second only to Halo in the multi-player area. If you don't have Xbox Live yet then go get it, or atleast organize a System Link party. I cannot wait for downloadable content for this bad boy. If you are looking for a slower, less mindless shooter, go with Ghost Recon (very good game also), if you just want a high energy, guns-a-blazin', frag fest, get 'em both (why not? they are both good). Again, this game does have problems but I think you will be able to see through those to the great game that lies below.
