Get your fix of mindless killing right here, you won''t regret it - this is after all ''Unreal''.

What little it lacks in gameplay sits UT a close second to Eidos' excellent "TimeSplitters."

It's not going to look and run as well as it does on an Athlon 1Ghz with a GeForce 2 Ultra, but for PlayStation 2 owners, it's one of the best FPS games out there at launch.

The PS2 version of UT 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.
85
A solid game. It doesn't make anywhere near the full use of the PS2, nor does it add a lot to the mix in order to compensate for the natural lack of ubiquitous mouse/keyboard support and Internet play.
84
It certainly looks and runs a sight better than any first-person shooter from the previous console generation, and console gamers new to Unreal likely won't be disappointed by how it looks or plays.
83
In order to make UT a little more playable for the casual gamer, an auto-targeting option was added to UT PS2, which makes the FC and SR even more powerful in human multiplayer.
82
Has consistently ambitious level design throughout, even in the PS2-exclusive maps, and the entire game benefits from it.
80
There are simply a huge number modes and options and game types to venture through in this game, so many that you'll likely never tire of things to try here.

Who is the audience for this game on the PS2? The answer is really only those who don't own either a Dreamcast or a decent PC.
