Publisher's description of Original Unreal Tournament demo
Our goal with Unreal Tournament was to create these very human-like opponents that would challenge you in a variety of different contests. We wanted to give people the non-stop adrenaline-pumping experience of online multiplayer games whether they wished to go online or not. There are four major game types: Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, Assault and Domination. Assault is an objective-based team game, where one team plays defense and one team plays offense. For however long the defending team can keep the attacking team from meeting their objective, they get the same amount of time to play on offense. If they can achieve the goal faster than the team they defended against, then they win. One example is taking over a speeding train with the goal of controlling it, another is storming a beachfront embankment with the goal of taking out a giant cannon. In Domination the idea is to control points on the map, called "domination points" and each time you run over a domination point it turns to the color of your team. Based on the time you control the point you score game points - it all makes for some rather fast and furious games. Capture the Flag is a pretty straightforward team-based game, and Deathmatch can be played everyone for themselves or on teams. Domination and Team Deathmatch can be played by up to four teams.

Version: Original Unreal Tournament demo
"Best first person shooter game ever made!"
Pros: Best graphics engine (at the time it was released...Nov1999).
Awesome music.
Great sound effects....HEADDDDD SHOTTTT!...MO-MO-MO-MO-NSTER KILL!...GODLIKE!
Very fun.
Great online experience. A lot of players online.
Game still holds up today...7 years later.
Cons: Doesn't match up, graphically, to today's games (Half Life 2, Halo, etc.).
Something about this game made Epic release UT2003 and UT2004, both of which are horrible games.

Version: Original Unreal Tournament demo
"The best FPS game ever, bar none."
Pros: Something about the way the physics works in UT is immensely satisfying, it 'feels' good when you're navigating around each map.
Stand-out features: the double-strafe (dodge) move, the translocator (local teleporter - as a weapon, or to reach inaccessible areas), the 6-loader rocket launcher (with 5 firing modes), the shock-combo (the most beautifully deadly weapon you'll ever heft).
Active community at utdemo.com
Cons: Some people have problems running the game in XP/Vista, variously due to NVidia driver settings and VSync.

Version: Original Unreal Tournament demo
Pros: Unreal tournament ranks upto some of the best first person shooters such as halo,half-life and fear.The gameplay is fantastc because of the good A.I and the controls are alright.Wide variety of weapons to choose from and the levels are pretty big.
Cons: The graphics aren't very smooth and polished, if you want the same style of gameplay with good graphics the go with unreal tournament 2004.
