The Unreal Tournament series brings to the masses a multiplayer first person shooter that combines the kill-or-be-killed experience of gladiatorial combat with cutting-edge technology. As the ultimate techno-gladiator of the future, players will take their fates into their hands, battling against other players online in action-packed, frag-filled arenas.
Unreal Tournament 3 is the third generation of the series, and has been released for PC and PlayStation 3 worldwide, as well as the Xbox 360. Following Epic's tradition of releasing free bonus content, Epic released the Titan Pack for PC and PlayStation 3.
Unreal Tournament 2004 (and 2003) is the second generation in the series, featuring ten game modes - both team-based and "every man for himself" - providing even the most hardcore gamer with palm-sweating challenges through unbelievably detailed indoor arenas and vast outdoor environments, against challenging AI or up to 32 players online.
Prior to the Unreal Tournament series one game started it all: Unreal. Unreal introduced players to the Unreal Universe and was focused on a single player experience. It also put the Unreal Engine technology on the map as a serious contender in the game engine middleware busines. A critically acclaimed mission pack brought players back to the land of Na Pali; and a sequel later continued the experience on the second generation of Unreal technology.
Unreal Tournament took Unreal to the competitive multiplayer arena, building off of the standard Deathmatch and CTF game play formula used in many first person action games, and bringing new twists on gameplay: minor gameplay changes known as mutators and support for new gametypes, such as Assault and Domination. With great gameplay and an amazing graphics engine, it won the undisputed title of Game of the Year in 1999.
Of course, the Unreal games have always had strong support for user content, with each game being released with all of the engine tools that Epic used to make the game! Such support has resulted in a mainstream following of modifications and total conversions for the series, spinning off plenty of community-related sites such as Planet Unreal and Beyond Unreal
Epic also rewarded mod developers for their best efforts by starting the Make Something Unreal contest. Each release has provided new tools along with new game experiences and updated technology, all of which have inspired aspiring game developers to explore opportunities to prove that they, too, can create both add-ons and fresh experiences for the game!
