Unreal Tournament was one of my favorite games to play when it first came out, it was the absolute peak of FPS' from the 90's in terms of fluidity, map design, and general game mechanics. The issue with reviewing games of my youth or games that came out long ago is they are susceptible to nostalgia goggles, however I replayed UT earlier this year and it felt just as good if not better than it did before.

UT does absolutely everything right: from the legendary D&B based soundtrack (which was typical for games of this time,) to having tons and tons of interesting levels across various game modes (that were quite large and in depth.) The famed announcements upon killstreaks and multi-kills added to the games flare, hearing "M M M M MONSTER KILL KILL" makes you excessively hype and in the groove of the games fast paced jumping arena combat. There's never a dull moment in UT, whether you're fighting on a smaller 1v1 DM map or one of the larger objectivve based maps.
