Finally Tuesday arrives and this time it's the turn of Epic or GT-Interactive to be hunted down for the sole purpose of seeing Unreal Tournament. Sadly there was nobody around at the GT area and Epic themselves had no stand, still we did get to play a whole hour on UT at Aureal 3D's stand where they offered us such.

Having seen and briefly played UT before I wasn't sure what had changed, that didn't take long to rectify. Finalised maps, stunning weapon sounds and more realistic coms/bot movements have all come into place for the ECTS build. It was easily one of the most impressive games on show, Quake3Arena is going to have to rock! more than the Q3Test's if it wants the crown of Multiplayer games.

Also it looks like they finally sorted out their front end which passes cleanly from game to menus and back again without hassle or bugs. It's not hard to tell from even a brief play that UT is a definate winner, good graphics and stunning gameplay are a worthy combination.
