Unreal Tournament 2004 Demo
… is out now. It’s only 208 MB (never thought I’d say those words in that order) and worth checking out if you’re wondering how far this engine has come. I think the graphics are impressive, and the gameplay has that excellent snappy speed to it all (at a much faster framerate than I’d expected). But I couldn’t help but be a little dissappointed at how samey most of it all is to the last edition. Maybe they could have done a little more polish to the overall package before pushing out a ‘beta’ demo. System font doesn’t really say ‘2004′ to me! I’m sure some nicely fought rounds of this new Onslaught mode will soften the blow.

Some people like it. I’ve played it and it is fun for a bit, but never having played UT before and going up against the old hands is daunting and becomes progressively less fun. Like trying to pick up Counterstrike as a n00b.
Onslaught mode is definitely the main reason to continue playing but I still prefer CoD out of the most recent games. Many of the CoDers I work with went back to Call of Duty because they had preferred the way it played. Maybe BF Vietnam will the one to break the spell…
I’m torn. I want to play something new and not suck! It’s really embarrasing when Monty decapitates you with one of those hovering vehicles.
