One-time playthrough only if you're a UT99 fan
While the very fact of the complete remake of the Unreal Tournament maps in the Source engine is astounding, the gameplay does not live up to the hype. The longevity of some maps is killing the fun, the way they are connected with each other is often too weird, and the supplies are infrequent, sometimes lacking an essential weapon type. The bots often ignore those infrequent supplies; a good example is near the beginning of Coret, when even pushing the bots to the guns and medkits is hopeless. The "ten propane cans" moment is unique, but the old trusted "burn the barricade" would have worked just as well, without the fear of losing cans. Also, a random Jimmy Gibbs horde, good luck defeating him if you don't know his weaknesses and/or you haven't found the weapons which kill him easily. The Lava Giant is so irrecognizable, so confusing, and SO LONG. Plus, there's an extra map which isn't a part of the original game or any official bonus packs. At any rate, this campaign is ways better than the space one - those series of gas can runs with non-stop Tanks don't even compare.
