Guide Review - Unreal Championship

Unreal Championship is sort of like Halo's evil twin sister. She's just as fun and pretty, but where she's lacking depth and polish, she makes up for with carnage. That's real what Unreal Championship is all about, lots and lots of carnage.

Unreal Championship features fast and frantic first person arena combat. While the story is about as thick as a Kraft Single, Unreal delivers adrenaline pumping action and combat. A nice new twist to this version is the inclusion of playable races, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

The only real minus is the somewhat slow framerate. Sometimes the game will hiccup, even in single player mode. It was the only thing keeping Unreal Championship from bringing home five stars.
