Gameplay: 8.5
While it has continually been improved, the gameplay hasn’t remarkably changed over the years. Long-time fans are essentially playing the same game rebuilt with a new graphics engine. But, do not fret – the gameplay is still whole-heartedly entertaining. For PS3 fans, the large-scale combat is particularly the most intriguing part to experience online.
Graphics: 9.6
Beautiful in both motion and at a standstill, the Unreal Engine 3 provides eye-popping graphics for Unreal Tournament 3. Not having played Uncharted yet, I’d have to say this is the best game, in terms of graphics, to be released on the PS3.
Sound: 9.1
The announcer that Epic Games has provided is great to add to the intensity of the battles.
Difficulty: Medium
While the default settings are easy for the single-player campaign, the higher settings tend to be insanely hard.
Concept: 8.7
The combat is insane, but it’s basically the same game that has continuously been improved since 1998. Though, I will give props where props are due and the style is among the most unique to be released this year.
Multiplayer: 9.7
This is hands-down the best multiplayer game on the PS3 due to the ability create maps, skins and mods for the PS3 version.
Overall: 8.8
With all that said, the main reason I am captivated by UT3 is because how much it differs from shooters currently on the next-generation consoles. Too many shooters are still stuck in World War II or trying to “advance” to modern combat, while not enough are cranking up the speed and providing thrilling action to boot. If you have enjoyed the previous installments, then I have no doubt that Unreal Tournament 3 will be a fine purchase this holiday season.

shouldnt they be comparing this game to gears of war? since they both use the exact same engine
No, that would be suggesting that reviewers are smart and know what they are doing haha.
Comparing two games based on their engines is probably the dumbest thing you could do...The only area where that would matter is graphics/physics, but overall, means jack shit. Especially considering UT is in the arena zone of FPS games, whereas Gears of War is a tactical third-person shooter.
And, anyone saying have high standards in the midst of one of the better game series out there, sorta makes me wonder how well thought out their standards are.
