was universally hailed as an innovative switch-up in gaming prior to its launch, and frustrated critics referred to it as a toy once they'd had a chance to see the depth of the title's gameplay. The design of the sequel,
, seems to be a deliberate response to the denouncements leveled at the original game. The result is a more traditional, less open-ended RTS with some identity issues.

Unreal Tournament 3 Review FunnyGames, November 29, 2007Unreal Tournament 3 uses Unreal Engine 3, the same basic set of tools that powered Gears of War.
