Pros
Fantasic Onslaught and Assault modes; tons of new maps; great graphics 
and sound; polished to perfection.
Cons
It's a massive 6-CD, 5GB install; there's a small learning curve for the 
new modes.

Closing Comments
Given that Epic had already reached a sweet, sweet point with the 
original Unreal Tournament, and some would argue with UT2003, it was 
fair to wonder what more they could do with the next iteration of the 
series. Well, it's easy to say they've delivered, and then some. A huge 
selection of new maps, gorgeous graphics, improved game play, and the 
return of Assault are generous enough. But the addition of Onslaught, 
with its powerful vehicles and tactical variety, makes UT2004 into a 
multiplayer behemoth, offering enough action, depth, and expansion 
possibilities (just think of the mods here, people), to justify keeping 
UT2004 on your hard drive for a long, long time. Has Epic provided an 
alternative to a glut of military-themed shooters? Hell yes they have. 
That, and then some.
Another Take
Unreal Tournament 2004 marks a stunning and welcome comeback for the 
Unreal franchise. It looks great, it runs well, the new modes are 
awesome and the core combat is tight. The vehicles are implemented to 
near perfection, the bots are among the best we've seen in any 
multiplayer game, the single-player ladder is fun, and there's so much 
STUFF that you could probably play this (and nothing else) through the 
end of 2004. If you like multiplayer games, it's hard to imagine anyone 
who won't find something to like in UT 2004.
9.5   Presentation
Slick, revamped menus, a polished HUD, easy game set up, and a 
just-helpful-enough manual make it easy to get into the action.
9.0   Graphics
Perhaps not mindblowing any longer, the Unreal engine is still drop-dead 
beautiful by any reasonable standard. With decent hardware, the 
gorgeousness is like buttah.
8.0   Sound
Servicable music, nice effects, and digital surround support and great, 
but the infernal announcer and repetitive taunts just need to go.
9.5   Gameplay
Match the tight, responsive, inviting controls of classic UT with the 
balanced brilliance of the new vehicles and weapons, and you've got big, 
big happiness.
10.0   Lasting Appeal
Assault and Onslaught's endless possibilities will keep you happy for a 
long time. But add new maps and mods, and the fun could never end.
9.4  OVERALL:
(out of 10 / not an average)

 
io lo prendero' (beh e' anche uno dei pochi titoli commerciali
che usciranno per Linux quest'anno) soprattutto per le
modifiche "alla Counter Strike" che verranno fatte in seguito! :)
Lo reputo un buon gioco, ma di interessante trovo soltanto le due
nuove modalita' ONS, Assault e forse bombing run.

 nuove modalita' ONS, Assault e forse bombing run.
Esattamente il mio pensiero!
Anche per la storia di linux che mi ha dato occasione di provare il gioco
con AMD64


Su che distro ?
Anche io AMD64 ma non riesco a montare una distro decente per via del sata
raid !
Ciao

 sata raid !
Dipende dal tipo di controller SATA che usi, il VIA in certi casi funziona.
I Sil non sono mai riuscito a farli andare in RAID.
Ho dovuto cambiare scheda video xche' i driver ATI su x86-64 sono pietosi,
ho messo una gef4 e va benone.

Posso dire una cosa? Io mi sono già stufato di giocare alla mappa ONS. La
mappa è molto bella, ma la modalità di gioco (trucchi, strategie) sono
sempre quelle. Stufa. 20 volte meglio giocare una mappa mp di Call of
Duty. Molta più possibilità di strategia, ogni partita è diversa
dall'altra. Cosa che non succede in UT2004. E parla uno che adora il mondo
Unreal.
