How Metascores Are Calculated
|
Like Magic vs. Larry and Lorena vs. John Wayne before them, the true down and dirty battle on the Dreamcast for first-person shooter supremacy is "Quake III: Arena" vs. "Unreal Tournament." You make the call!

Hot Games
The best internet play of any console shooter lifts Unreal Tournament to our top score. That doesn't mean it's perfect -- but it does mean it's the best of its genre on any console.

Daily Radar
UT fares better than "Quake III" in three of the categories: lag, amount of people allowed to play and levels.
95
AllDreamcast
The graphics may be a little sharper and more detailed in "Quake III Arena," but UT's added gameplay features and 8-way multiplayer action more than make up for it.
94
GameSpot
"Quake III Arena" on the Dreamcast may offer more visceral gameplay, but Unreal Tournament is the most complete package yet.
94
IGN
The overall best first person shooter on the Dreamcast.
91
Gaming Age
I feel UT is the more polished title, even though "Quake (3 Arena)" may have it beaten on a creativity level. I'm sure I'll return to my "Quake" world in the future, but honestly you can't go wrong with either title.

Core Magazine
Undoubtedly, Unreal Tournament gives you a much more complete package and is overall a better game (than "Quake Arena III").
90
DC Swirl
While UT is more user-friendly and fun, "Quake III" is faster, prettier and more raw.
90
GamePro
Throw in some wild game-rule-altering "mutators" and pleasantly brief loading times, and Unreal Tournament delivers a high-speed, high-adrenaline package that never even has the chance to be boring. It packs more personality than "Quake III Arena."
90
Total Video Games
Whether you want to play online against 7 others, split screen with three friends, or alone against multiple bots, UT will not disappoint.
85
GameShark
The game looks great. Granted, it's not in hi-res mode like its PS2 counterpart, but DC players get on-line play, so nyah, nyah.
85
GamerWeb Sega
Minor framerate issues aside, Unreal Tournament is an exceptional FPS and a must-have for any self-respecting Dreamcast owner.
83
Game Revolution
A good choice; just remember, it's not the whole enchilada. I like the difficulty level of the bots within single player as well as the possibility of 8-player network play. And where else can you find a chance to put those damn dirty robots in their rightful place?

Planet Dreamcast
It picks up from where "Quake III Arena" left off in terms of AI, on-line capabilities, and graphics

Maxim Online
Apart from some cramped environments, the immaculately reincarnated Unreal Tournament is a stone-cold killer.

Happy Puppy
Solid, solid, and more solid. It's intensely fun, well balanced, and it safely brings out the violent side in you.

Da Gameboyz
I had an extreme amount of fun playing this one... The only issue I have is the sometimes-inconsistent frame rate, especially in split screen multiplayer.
