Hot Games
The best internet play of any console shooter lifts Unreal Tournament to our top score. That doesn't mean it's perfect -- but it does mean it's the best of its genre on any console.

UT fares better than "Quake III" in three of the categories: lag, amount of people allowed to play and levels.
AllDreamcast
The graphics may be a little sharper and more detailed in "Quake III Arena," but UT's added gameplay features and 8-way multiplayer action more than make up for it.
GameSpot
"Quake III Arena" on the Dreamcast may offer more visceral gameplay, but Unreal Tournament is the most complete package yet.

I feel UT is the more polished title, even though "Quake (3 Arena)" may have it beaten on a creativity level. I'm sure I'll return to my "Quake" world in the future, but honestly you can't go wrong with either title.

Undoubtedly, Unreal Tournament gives you a much more complete package and is overall a better game (than "Quake Arena III").
Read Full Review >DC Swirl
While UT is more user-friendly and fun, "Quake III" is faster, prettier and more raw.
Read Full Review >GamePro
Throw in some wild game-rule-altering "mutators" and pleasantly brief loading times, and Unreal Tournament delivers a high-speed, high-adrenaline package that never even has the chance to be boring. It packs more personality than "Quake III Arena."

Whether you want to play online against 7 others, split screen with three friends, or alone against multiple bots, UT will not disappoint.
GameShark
The game looks great. Granted, it's not in hi-res mode like its PS2 counterpart, but DC players get on-line play, so nyah, nyah.

Minor framerate issues aside, Unreal Tournament is an exceptional FPS and a must-have for any self-respecting Dreamcast owner.

A good choice; just remember, it's not the whole enchilada. I like the difficulty level of the bots within single player as well as the possibility of 8-player network play. And where else can you find a chance to put those damn dirty robots in their rightful place?

It picks up from where "Quake III Arena" left off in terms of AI, on-line capabilities, and graphics

Apart from some cramped environments, the immaculately reincarnated Unreal Tournament is a stone-cold killer.

Solid, solid, and more solid. It's intensely fun, well balanced, and it safely brings out the violent side in you.

I had an extreme amount of fun playing this one... The only issue I have is the sometimes-inconsistent frame rate, especially in split screen multiplayer.

All I can say is wow! I've played UT on the PC for many years and I was skeptical as to how it would be on the Dreamcast. Graphics: Nothing has been lost in the translation. Textures are nice and smooth, and there is almost no slowdown in the framerate. Control: Suprisingly, the Dreamcast controller works rather well with UT. My only complaint is the secondary fire button, which when pressed, can easily cause you to switch weapons inadvertently. Gameplay: New maps plus the original ones from the PC version. The Dreamcast version reatins the various modes, such as Deathmatch, CTF, Domination, etc. Overall, a fantastic game and a must have for any Dreamcast owner.
