Overview
The Tournament has begun! The time has come to prove you are the best! You and your team are going to face off in person against the deadliest warriors in the galaxy. Who is going to take the Unreal Grand Master title and who is going to crawl away in defeat? Like they say: to the victor goes the spoils.Unreal Tournament on the PlayStation 2 features all the same stunning gameplay and wicked AI you’d expect from the title. There’s no question that the developers have done a great job porting the game to a new platform, but in the end it just doesn’t stack up to its PC brother.
Gameplay, Controls, Interface
Single player on the PS2 is very straightforward: you’re a contestant in the Tournament gunning for anyone who stands between you and the prize. The initial game menus are different from the PC version; they actually look much cooler, sliding in and out of view smoothly in response to your selections. Once gameplay starts, these cosmetic changes continue (damage and weapon status indicators are updated) but the basic look and play of the game is nearly identical to the PC version.All the game modes from the PC version are here: Deathmatch, Domination, and Assault. In all the single player scenarios the key to enjoying the game is the intelligence displayed by the computer controlled players. As expected, the AI behind the ‘bot players is fantastic -- they respond to changing situations and player actions just as well as their PC selves (if not better). There are still a couple of situations where the AI actions aren’t up to snuff, but overall it’s very impressive.While the PS2 controller is great for most games, it doesn’t quite stack up to full blown First Person Shooter (FPS) action where you need to turn, move forward and back, look up and down, and strafe as well as control selected weapons and fire accurately. The Unreal Tournament team has compensated for this in two ways. They’ve added some pretty cool auto-aiming and target-finding assists for players using the PS2 controller. These assists go a long way to make up for the slower turning rates and less-accurate pointing that are inevitable with a console-style controller.
The other control option gives you the full speed and responsiveness PC Unreal Tournament fans are used to. Just plug any USB keyboard and mouse into the PS2 and use the control setup that dedicated FPS maniacs swear by. (Here’s a hint, never, and I do mean NEVER, play Unreal Tournamentwith your opponent on mouse and keyboard and you on a PS2 controller. You’ll be bits of splatter on the wall before you can turn around).Where the game falls short of its PC brother is in multiplayer support. The game does offer up to four player split screen play on one system or you can use an i.LINK cable setup to connect multiple PS2 systems and play on separate screens. Now as a mainly PC-based gamer I may be biased, but split screen FPS gaming just doesn’t cut it. Your opponents can see exactly where you are and what weapon you’re carrying. An i.LINK setup is much better, but then how many people have multiple PS2 systems, not to mention an i.LINK hub to connect them and four TVs lying around? Bottom line here: since multiplayer is what Unreal Tournament is all about, I felt cheated by its inadequacies in the PS2 version.
Graphics & Audio
Stunning -- that’s all there is to it. No other launch title I’ve played takes this much advantage of the new graphics engine in the PS2. The visuals are smooth, detailed, and just plain gorgeous. All the fog and lighting effects from the PC version are here, with some enhancements. Placing both versions side by side, I’d be hard pressed to say which looks better (in fact I’m not going to -- both are spectacular). Add to that the bone shaking sound effects and music (which stays in the background where it belongs, much better than it did in the PC version) and you’ve got a winning package.
Bottom Line
The PS2 version of Unreal Tournament is like caffeine-free diet Mountain Dew -- the taste is there, but what’s the point? The game AI provides a solid single player experience, but without acceptable multiplayer the game is lacking what really made it great on the PC. Don’t get me wrong -- if you’re looking for a challenging first person game for your new PS2 then this is the one you want. The single player game is lots of fun and beating the nasty AI will challenge you. But what made the PC version of the game stand head and shoulders above the competition was the multiplayer support and this is the one area where the PS2 version comes in a clear second.
