Great game, but BEWARE of the lack of splitscreen multiplayer and missing game modes Assault and Bombing Run.
I enjoyed the single-player component. Some will complain that its not that great, but compared to the ladder system of previous installments, I welcome the effort put into actually creating a story.
This is the best multiplayer game to date on PS3, however, I am VERY disappointed in the lack of splitscreen multiplayer on one PS3. One of the great things in games like this or Halo 3 is having 3 friends over and playing 2 to 4 player splitscreen multiplayer. It makes zero sense not including this.
I like the fact that UT3 includes AI controlled bots, which allows you to play UT3 against PS3 controlled enemies online and offline. This is a nice option for those that do not have Broadband access to play online or if you just want to jump into a quick match or just messing around with no intentions of playing until someone wins.
I am also disappointed that prior game modes of the franchise are missing here. Even though a new Outstanding mode called Warfare makes its debut, I still feel that staple modes like the awesome Assault or Bombing Run modes are solely lacking and could have really rounded this title out nicely.
The new Necris vehicles are great and the hoverboard concept to eliminate the downtime by getting back into the action from a distance is genious.
Although this new entry in the UT universe takes a step forward on the visual front and with the Warfare mode.....it takes two steps back by not including a splitscreen multiplayer option and eliminating fan favorite modes like Assault and Bombing Run really hold UT3 back from achieving the greatness that is UT2004.
