IGN/Gamespy, la nouvelle hydre des sites de jeux vidéo, publie le même jour deux tests d’Unreal Tournament 2004 : l’un sur Gamespy, l’autre sur PC.IGN. Chacun renvoit à l’autre, c’est mignon.
Pour Gamespy, Unreal Tournament 2004 est le jeu parfait (il a 5 étoiles sur 5). Le seul problème du jeu pour eux, c’est qu’il tient sur 6 CD-ROMs (en France, le jeu devrait sortir sur DVD). IGN s’avance à peine moins, en lui mettant 94% et en critiquant un chouïa la musique.
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.
