Climb The LadderIn case you haven't been paying attention, all the PC gamers have been screaming about Unreal Tournament for months now. UT is the first-person shooter that took on Quake 3: Arena, and many say it took home the trophy. Well, strap yourselves in, console kids, because Epic and Infogrames are bringing that whole Unreal experience to your Playstation 2 on Launch Day.
Unreal Adjustment
Obviously, to make a great PC game into anything more than a decent console game, you have to make a few tweaks here and there, and you can all relax, Epic's made the right ones. While you can plug in a USB mouse and keyboard and play WASD-style (PC gamers know the jargon), all of you Dual Shock 2 junkies won't be left in the cold, because UT for PS2 uses both analog sticks with high precision and even auto-aims so you can hunt down those elusive LPBs. Though actually�.
No Ping
� you won't have problems with low pingers getting you down, because UT for PS2 won't support any kind of Internet play, a sad fact when one considers how awesome the PC version is over the 'net. Still, don't count UT out yet! Using the PS2's net-link capabilities and a handful of TVs, you'll be able to link a number of PS2s together and have a kickass LAN party, blasting your buddies into gibs well into the night. If you're into hardcore, hyper-real first-person deathmatches, then you will definitely want to sign up for Unreal Tournament on October 26.
