"EIGHTEEN MONTHS AGO, Unreal Tournament 2003 and Battlefield 1942 were released a few weeks apart. At that time, UT was the old standard, while Battlefield was the underdog, the hip newcomer that burst onto the scene with a fresh spin on teamplay. By the end of 2002, Battlefield was the new king of the hill, racking up fans and awards in droves, while UT 2003 was sort of left out in the cold -- a solid effort, but dismissed by many as an uninteresting update.
That battle renews itself next week with the release of both Unreal Tournament 2004 and Battlefield Vietnam, and UT 2004 has come out SWINGING. It's a stunning comeback for the franchise, a fantastic mix of the fresh and the familiar, and enough content to make this the only game you need for the next few months. If you're a fan of multiplayer shooters, odds are you'll find a LOT to like in Unreal Tournament 2004."
