If you think that's quite cool though, just wait until you see the Leviathan. Jesus 'Capital H' Christ! A tank of the corporations rather than the Necris, the Leviathan is a five-man beast and is - as you might have guessed - bloody big. The driver has control of the accelerator pedal and a smaller gun, while each of his companions blasts happily away with different varieties of heavy weaponry from the tank's roof and sides - each with their own cheery purple energy shield to boot.
When you first see the tank deploy itself into 'crouch' mode, however, your eyes will widen and you'll temporarily forget to breathe. Unfolding itself like the best Transformer base you've seen, with its four guns raising on fire enginestyle hinged platforms, the thing becomes a veritable machine o' death: double the gun barrels circling one liber-gun with infinite range and almighty explosive capabilities.
The Leviathan still doesn't quite match the Necris Darkwalker though. I know you've seen a ton of material on these wavy-legged monstrosities - but I promise you that until you fight against them yourself, there's no way you'll realise quite how intimidating they are. In my playtest, I was happily nipping around atop my Marty McFly patentpending liovei board on the crest of a craggy outcrop, when a previously crouched Darkwalker raised itself to its full height so it popped into view directly in front of me.
At the risk of using two Back To The Future references in close proximity, it was almost exactly like the bit in Back To The Future II where Biff stands on the top of his hotel and is thunderstruck by the sight of the De Lorean appearing over the lip of the building. Only this time the encounter ended with a burning death-ray and a beautifully rendered fried skeleton. Oh, and burning trees. The trees got set on fire too To wrap things up, the Epic lads show me a final scene of Whisperish -an outcrop of rock hundreds of feet above water on the Necris home world.
For some reason, the broken buildings minus the black tentacles remind me of some unholy mixture of Alcatraz and the Vatican. As a tower of smoke billows up in the centre of the map and pillars flare up with flame in the neardistance to indicate the presence of the Redeemer in their midst, I get to wondering - are we actually going to get to play the finished product this year?
As ever, Epic respond to that question with a shrug - it'll be released when they're happy with it. There's still a lot they refuse to spill on as well. The introduction of employables for example something beyond the spider mines of UT, although categorically not including auto-turrets, which Epic see as distinctly 'not fun' - not to mention a number of still undisclosed vehicles.
I loved UT because it seemed to do everything - whatever mood I was in, I could find a map or a mode that slotted into the pleasure-hunting parts of my brain like a missing jigsaw piece.
UT3 is pulling the same trick -but has found a remarkable number of areas to drizzle tasty gameplay juices into an already successful recipe. I don't know whether it's the hoverboards, the eye-candy or simply the way it delivers instant exhilaration when others specialise in frustration, but it's suddenly leapt above Quake Wars in my estimation.
I like having fun, and Unreal Tournament 3 really likes being fun. Blood, pain and death aside, it's a match made in heaven. Considering How Often Unreal Tournament III seems to be being given away for nowt on Steam, it might seem silly to actually consider buying this game any other way, but Mastertronic believe people will still want a boxed copy, and who are we to argue? Of course, whether you actually want a copy of this is another question. We don't think the age of the old-school deathmatch shooter is dead, but perhaps modern PC gamers are just tired of extraordinarily homoerotic virtual butt-slapping in a world where men wear ridiculous armour and wield obscenely phallic weaponry.
While the women do and dress the same, they just look a bit less ridiculous. The gaming equivalent of Dynastystyle shoulder pads, UT3 has turned into a vaguely unpleasant version of the game we fell in love with nearly 10 years ago. Substance has been replaced by style and the only time we really ever go back to it is to play some of the imaginative mods that the community keep belching out.
Perhaps that's the reason you should actually buy it, as the main game isn't as fun as it used to be, sadly.

Game review Downloads Screenshots Kill Or Be Killed These Machiavellian machinations are all well and good, but let's face it however good the single-player mode is, UT has always been about the multiplayer - the first time I sniped someone's face off and heard the guttural tones of "Headshot!
