Unreal Tournament for Ps2 doesn’t reach the graphic quality of the Pc version running on a high-end machine, but it bears well the comparison.
The graphic engine runs smoothly at 30fps in high resolution and even though it doesn’t come close to the speed of TimeSplitters, it succeeds in sustaining the rhythm of the action without any sort of flickering or aliasing issues. The environments have a quality comparable to the ones featured in the Pc version; they are extremely rich and original, even if the textures are not as detailed as in the original game; it's evident the developers had some problem porting the PC engine to the Playstation 2. During the game you’ll find yourself playing on board of a space ship or into a mysterious Gothic environment, and you’ll see the red planet, Mars. Good light effects enrich each area adding a good dose of realism.
With a longer period of development, I’m pretty sure this game would have looked like the Pc version. The Ps2’s internal structure is very different from the one of a normal PC and this has probably forced the developers to completely revise their work for this new version. Anyhow, Epic’s job can surely be appreciated. Unreal Tournament for Ps2 have all the elements to fascinate an enthusiast of the genre.
