Esto es como un deja vu con periodicidad mensual,siempre lo mismo... Y cómo no, lo que siempre digo: no fijarse en la nota (tanto) y leer la crítica.
Ejemplo Unreal Championship, E#119
If the singleplayer aspect of Unreal Championship is anything to go by then Xbox Live is in trouble. Arena combat games are hardly the most difficuit to design -sure, there's weapon balancing and buddy Ai to take into consideration -but it's been done so many times before that you would hope decent effort couid be achieved after so much time In deveiopment.
it shouid be stated here that this is a review of the singleplayer game only. Unfortunately, the infrastructure is still not available to play Unreal Championship across the Xbox Live service, but you can expect an updated review when the oniine component is up and running. While it may seem a little, unfair to focus on this bot-only version, there's enough evidence to suggest that it’s hardly going to sell Microsoft's online dream to the masses.
One of the main problems is a framerate that has a tendency to lurch at crucial moments in the game. This is most apparent when you encounter several opponents onscreen at the same time. While it's never bad enough to spoil the overall sense of speed and freneticism it doesn't auger well for the Xbox Live-enabled version. True, Unreal Championship bears a good deal of resemblance to Unreal Tourmament 2003 (E117), with the addition of a few extra areas, but the same technicai excellence and sheen just isn't there.
The usual mix of games is available. Deathmatch, Survival, Capture the Flag, plus the moderately entertaining Bombing Run, in which players must score a point by shooting a balI through a goal, but there's nothing here that hasn't been done better other arena games. Compared to the imaginative challenges and multlplayer games in TimeSplitters2, Unreal Championship falls far short. The bots respond competently for the most part, but sometimes fail to convince you that they are under any kind of guidance vvhatsoever. It' an average experience that's unlikely to impress anyone who's already played again better bots in other games. And through the multiplayer System Link options things oniy improve moderately.
Of course, playing online, with the voice communicator enabled (see Terrahawks) could transform the experience. Edge hopes that Digital Extremes has saved the best until last for UK gamers.
