Unreal Tournament. 10 best games from the year 1999

. Quake and Unreal went head to head in the duel for the title of the best first-person shooter and the game with the best graphics. First, with the second installment of Quake and the first Unreal, where the focus was still on the single-player campaign, but in subsequent installments both titles focused on the online modes. Epic felt so comfortable with the genre that they continued to develop their Unreal Tournaments, while id Software returned to the story with the fourth Quake.

Which of these productions was better at that time? Everyone who played then probably has their own opinion on the matter, and that's where we should leave it. Enough to say that Unreal Tournament has garnered a tremendous amount of praise and for many is one of the best games of all time. Critics praised the graphics, excellent level designs, and good weapon balance. The gameplay provided plenty of opportunities for team cooperation, and for stubborn loners, there were quite challenging bots. Perhaps surprisingly, the soundtrack has been criticized - here Unreal gave way to Quake. Nevertheless, the game won several Game of the Year and Action Game of the Year titles. For the fans of fragging, those were the golden times!
