Unreal Championship for the most part is a port of the PC's Unreal Tournament 2003. The graphics are slightly different, the different player models have different attributes, and some maps are differenet. The game uses a control layout similar to Halo, making it easy to pickup and play. The weapons consist of an assault rifle, the link gun (you can fire on an ally to cause a more powerful beam), the a three barreled rocket launcher, the shield gun (primary-fire charges and releases a melee attack; alt-fire is a shield that blocks most attacks), a bio-rifle, shock rifle, flak cannon, minigun, redeemer (a nuke launcher), the ion painter (fire the beam on the ground and wait... down comes a large energy beam with the force of a nuke); and the lightning gun (a sniper). A new feature to FPS is adrenaline, gain it by pickups and kills, and when you have 100 you can pull off a combo that makes you invisible, self-heal, move faster, or cause more damage. You can also do a double jump. Game modes consist of Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Double Domination, and Bombing Run. In Domination you must control two points for a few seconds to score. Bombing Run is like football with guns, each team starts at each end with the ball in the center, the goal is to get the ball through the other teams goal. Easier said than done, when carrying the ball you cannot fire any normal weapons. The graphics are good, but not as good as the PC game. The game has up to four players split screen, system link, and supports Xbox Live. UC's fast pace and internet support make it the a great alternative to Halo for Deathmatch on the Xbox.

Score: 7.9
