Shooter aficionados looking for fresh blood will find it in spades in the return of one of the genre's premier franchises in "Unreal Tournament 3."

This latest addition in the military/alien universe action series allows up to four players to compete against each other, collecting and protecting a series of tentacle orbs on a far-off world stocked with celestial palaces and rugged outdoor terrain.

Combatants can blast away at online opponents or large tentacle creatures with a wide variety of cannons. Some of their vehicles are familiar — tanks and hovercrafts — while others are more organic and resemble mechanized insects, such as a land rover shaped like a giant mantis and an attack aircraft that resembles a large beetle.

The 360-degree rotating action can be a little disorienting for the first-time user, but once you start getting in shots on your competition, it's hard to put the controller down.

Battle scenes inside the palaces are thrillingly claustrophobic as players are forced to find cover and react quickly to gunfire from opposing combatants and alien soldiers.

Players can spit cannon fire while zipping through low and high aerial assault sequences. There's even a hovering surfboard. The outdoor landscapes vary from urban centers to desert regions to heavily armed base camps.

The amazing graphics, visceral sound effects, exploding alien body parts and rapid pacing of the vehicle modes take the gameplay experience to new heights.

"Unreal Tournament 3" will be out for the PS3 and PC in November. An Xbox 360 version will follow early next year.

*swoons*

Up to FOUR WHOLE PLAYERS?! Man...I can't wait for some 360 degree rotating 2v2 action when this computers game for Windows comes out.

Not bad for a non-community person review, but the four players probably means on the same console but he failed to mention that detail. Of course, anyone reading this probably already knows that.

"And the game is played using a mouse and a thing called a key board. No quarters needed!"

360 degree rotating tentacle orbs!

SuperApe · 11-02-2007, 11:47 AM

Clearly, the very best kind of tentacle orbs.

I'd expect someone's mom to write a review like that. It's ok for someone to not know what they're talking about, but it's not ok for a nationwide journalist to spout off nonsense, regardless of the topic.

Of course, how much journalistic integrity can you expect from Fox News?

Zero. Minus infinity.

It's also odd that they decry video games as the destroyer of our children's innocence on one hand, and effectively advertise them by doing these news stories on the other.

To me that seems like a very high number!

OMGWTF...that article reminded me an English class I took in college where you were given a subject you couldn't even understand (like some thing from http://www.sciencemag.org/ ) that was HIGHLY technical and we had to make it understandable in layman's terms...

yeah thats exactly what they did

Ultimate_Weasel · 11-02-2007, 02:41 PM

That article gave me quite a chuckle. Tentacle orbs, players spitting cannon fire (I took this one literally in my first read) and up to four players, L

L!

Oh, c'mon guys, that's totally unfair. Just the other day I heard a story on Fox News about Brittany, OJ, Michael Jackson, Paris, Angelina, Oprah and Lindsay are going to start a new reality TV show called,"The Magnificent Seven Attention Whores".

Hahahahahahahahaha.........

Fox News is a dichotomy, contradiction, paradox.........whatever.
