Like Unreal Tournament 2004 before it, there's an almost overwhelming amount of content packed into Unreal Tournament 3. Dozens of maps, mutators, and several excellent modes are available out of the box for your fragging pleasure, and the action is as fast and tight as fans expect out of this lauded franchise. Front-end depth in terms of unlockables, stat-tracking, and social features may be lacking compared to other modern games like Halo 3 or Call of Duty 4, but the brilliant gameplay is a showstopper on its own.
Opinion is divided on this one for sure! Is motion blur good for gaming? Why do developers include it?
I hate any game that has motion blur and the first thing I do is switch off the motion blur in games. It just makes me nauseous.
I agree with Alex here, many implementations are terrible but when it is done right it improves the experience.

“In all seriousness though, I feel like DOOM’s success will be measured by how much the game has to offer. Graphically it’s looking spectacular, and I’m sure the latest multiplayer trailer caught all of our attention. Personally, the game is beginning to remind me of those late nights playing Unreal Tournament 3, which is totally a good thing. This, in addition to the promise of user-generated content, is making DOOM look like the best first-person shooter I’ve seen in ages.”
The campaign looks brilliant, like a true nostalgia trip to the original DOOM titles of old! The multiplayer equally looks like a trip down memory lane to fast-paced and frantic arena games a-la Quake, and honestly the MP REALLY makes me want to the get game at launch to capitalise on the hype. Problem is I'm not overly fussed with multiplayer typically in games, they can get weary after a while, and buying a game solely for its MP is risky - especially on console - as it's heavily dependant on the community!
Rock to my left, hard place to my right..
EDIT: On the MP note, does anyone know if it'll have bots available, similar to Unreal Tournament 3? I still give that a quick play time to time with bots (and all the mad mutators).
I’m exactly the same, usually multiplayer games are of no interest to me. But DOOM has sparked my curiosity, especially as someone who used to enjoy multiplayer first person shooters like Quake/Unreal. Totally understand your concerns about it being heavily dependant on the community, too. Which is just another reason they should include bots, in case the numbers need to be made up. I’m hoping the community will be good, considering the creative freedoms they’re handing over with the SnapMap thing.
Its basically a "console" ahead, in terms of graphics, of another shooter called Homefront thats getting ready to release. LOL
Great selections as always and they are...
Final Fantasy
Metal Gear Solid
Super Smash Bros.
Crypt of the Necrodancer
Unreal Tournament
Advance Wars
Payday 2
But after their last couple of rounds of reviews I'm becoming skeptical...95 for AC and 98 for ME. Both great games but with big enough flaws that those scores are really high I think. They just want to build hype and move games out the door.
there reviews alot
but then i see they gave Uncharted a 8.75 so maybe im wrong
still might buy this game
are normally fairly accurate based on how I feel after I play a game but they don't line up 100% (no one does). They are more consistent to me than a lot of sites but...
I trust no gaming site on whether I purchase or not. I'm a gamer so I play and make my own decision.
