I want to love Unreal Tournament 3, I really do. I want to love every Unreal game, but I can't.

Epic dropped the ball when they made this smeary, bloom and brown, messy-looking sequel to one of the greatest deathmatch games of all time.

The game feels like a console port, and Epic rewrote its narrative and visual style to be more like Gears of War than previous Unreal titles, and as such, it no longer feels unreal. It feels like just another dark and murky shooter, all style and no substance, and style is not a good thing to rely on in game that's supposed to be a competitive arena.

It's not even a patch on the absolute mess UT4 is on epic ... they've completely trashed everything that made UT massively successful, and now it's run by a bunch of clueless gamers. Bring back 2k3 and 2k4, all is forgiven, and never make another UT again, you've trashed it. :steamsad: They are so hell bent on their idea of the model, UT is now RIP and wasteful that even Epic ditched it.
