PROS

Engine
Although it's hell on framerates, the Unreal Tournament 2003 engine does some amazing level geometry

Defensive missions
There are flashes of flexible gameplay and replayability in these set piece battles

Three stooges

CONS

Level design
Strictly linear and heavily derivative

Weapons
They've all been done before...and done better

AI
Apparently there weren't many CPU cycles left over after the graphics, because there are precious few signs of intelligent life here

Writing
Bad dialogue and a bad storyline wouldn't hurt Unreal 2 so much if it didn't rely on them so much

No multiplayer
The last possible hope for this game has gone AWOL.

 Random Fact
Tom doesn’t seem to have enjoyed his Unreal 2 experience very much. At least it didn’t have him gnawing his own hand in frustration, as Daikatana did with me.
