Unreal Championship
- November 11, 2002 00:00 AM PST
Xbox Live will be a little more frenetic once the ultimate in first-person shooting comes to play.
You can�t help but notice how gorgeous the scenery is in Unreal Championship�s various levels�elaborately designed playfields that are a blend of winding hallways and open-air rooms. Inch up close to a wall or crouch down to look at the ground and, even in the preview version, you�ll see intricate textures with detail that few video games have done before.And then someone has to go ruin it by blasting you with a grenade, sending you flying across the room in a heap.
The latest entry in the popular PC first-person-shooter franchise is coming to the Xbox, a console that is more than capable of handling the well-animated characters, elaborate environments, and countless projectiles without blinking. As if the threat of getting blasted by any of the game�s weapons wasn�t bad enough, the lighting and shadows in the preview build added to an already-tense setting. UC will offer diverse game types�such as the classic Deathmatch and tumultuous Bombing Run�and will also be compatible with the Xbox Live online game service for furious matches with up to 32 players.
