When it comes down to first person shooter games the Unreal Tournament may possibly be one of the most recognizable titles in the history of that genre. Before we had the Halo series for Xbox there was the Unreal Tournament which was developed by Epic Games & Digital Extremes. In the late 90’s the original Unreal Tournament was released for Microsoft Windows in 1999 along being available for consoles such as the PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast during the early 00’s. The graphics for the Unreal Tournament at the time was great and seemed like it was ahead of its time considering the fact that it had utilized the original Unreal Engine developed in 1998. The Unreal Tournament was a game that many people may have preferred for Microsoft Windows over the console versions since it provided exclusive features such as level editing feature. Along with being a pretty cool 3D first person shooter title the Unreal Tournament had an interesting plot that took place around the 24th century.
The formation of a new world government during the war between the humans and Skaarjj had seemed fascinating but at the same time frightening. Despite, how scary the plot may have seemed the Unreal Tournament had provided people with a series of gameplay options including Death Match, Last Man Standing, Assault, and Dominion. The original Unreal Tournament had included a variety of game modes that would keep players busy for many hours, months or even years until Unreal II: The Awakening was released between 2003-2004. When it comes down to first person shooter games the Unreal series was one among many that was popular with teens and young adults during the 00’s. Even though, the very first Unreal Tournament game was pretty good the series had only improved as time progressed. In terms of which Unreal game is the best in the entire series is debatable but some would probably consider the second installment to be in that category.
