WOW is all i have to say. NEVER played a Unreal Tournament game but, I have to say its like Halo in Fast Forward!
First off the campaign is not really a campaign like Gears of War. It is more practice for doing all the multiplayer modes online. Which is incredible for a guy like me who has never played the series before. The story is done through cinematics and then a slew of missions using CTF, warzone and the other game types. I have to say while its different, i am enjoying campaign mode to hone my skill before going online.
Another option is instant action, which is basically online multiplayer but played offline against bots of varying degree. I fought them on normal and i have to say while not mind boggling hard they did there job lol. I hate to see what godlike bots are like.
I havent played online as of yet but as soon as a few more of my friends get it i will.
The graphics and character models are some of the best I have seen in a game. The cinematics are beautiful in scope and have great overall style. Characters look somewhat like gears ones, but with greater variety. The sound is awesome although not as humourous as halo( i love the grunts they crack me up)
overall a good gaming experience that is comparable to halo, and gears.
