The success of Unreal
Tournament and Unreal Tournament 2003, meant this title was
inevitable. It seems this game will be everything you expect from an
Unreal Tournament game with a few extra's thrown in. New game modes have
been thrown in as well as the welcome return of Assault, beefed up and
ready for UT2004. Also as you would expect the game comes complete with
new weapons as well including a anti - vehicle rocket launcher.
Anti-vehicle you ask? Yep that mean you now have vehicles in the game. You
can get into land, air and space vehicles in Assault and Onslaught modes.
Scroll down for more info on the game modes and weapons.

The Story
The story behind
the game is quite an interesting one. The human race had settled its need
for violence and turned to exploration. Without the need for bloodshed the
humans left earth and spread across the galaxy. However as they left earth
they took with them the dark beast of violence and soon crime was back
into society. For the first time in over 100 years prisons were created to
hold the scum of society.
The concept of
violence was well and truly back and in 2213 it happened, the event that
once again changed humankind. A prison ship called vortex made an
emergency landing on a planet known as Na-Pali. It was reporting engine
trouble. However what happened after is still unclear. Soon after landing
nearly all of the prisoners will killed. Death was certainly not natural.
The planet had been invaded by an alien race known as the Skaarj. Powerful
warriors that come from a warrior style society.
One man survived
he fought for freedom and was eventually rescued by a Liandri security
ship that was conveniently patrolling the area. Soon after the survivor
was sent back to the surface to face the rest of the Skaarj. The rest of
the information has been classified. As conspiracy started to spread the
human race once again turned to war, costing millions of lives, the only
people to profit were the weapons suppliers. The human race was once again
ruled by violence and the imperial forces.
