About

Unreal Tournament is a first-person arena shooter video game developed by Epic Games and Digital Extremes. It was the second installment in the Unreal series. It is an arena first-person shooter, with head-to-head multiplayer deathmatches being the primary focus of the game. Other game modes include TDM. CTF, Assault, Domination, Last man Standing etc.

What players say

Seen as the weakest version of a beloved arena shooter, with sluggish controller aiming and washed-out visuals leaving it overshadowed by the PC and Dreamcast releases. It still plays as a competent, entertaining shooter but feels compromised on console.
