Story:Unreal Tournament 2004 is a multiplayer first person shooter that combines the kill-or-be-killed experience of gladiatorial combat with cutting-edge technology. Ten game modes - both team-based and "every man for himself" -- provide even the most hardcore gamer with palm-sweating challenges through unbelievably detailed indoor arenas and vast outdoor environments. As the ultimate techno-gladiator of the future, players will take their fates into their hands, battling against up to 32 other players online in action-packed, frag-filled arenas. Assault Mode - Assault mode returns! Redesigned for UT2004, this fan-favorite mode sees teams face-off to defend and attack fortified bases, from fast-moving trains, barreling across an arid alien desert to a Skaarj mother ship, poised to attack the human home world. Onslaught Mode - Onslaught mode takes team combat to the next level! Opposing teams are pitted against each other to capture and hold strategic points in order to attack and destroy the enemy power core. Taking place in massive outdoor environments, here is where vehicular combat comes into its own. Flying and driving machines take combatants to the frontline and gigantic mobile battle stations serve as a platform from which to launch devastating attacks. Vehicles - Rev-up and ride out in an array of land-, air-, and space-based vehicles that play critical roles in a successful combat strategy in Assault and Onslaught. With vehicles ranging from single man fighters to five man behemoths, Unreal Tournament 2004 provides players with plenty of choices when shopping for a mechanized implement of destruction. Levels - More than 95 maps will be available immediately, including more than 45 brand new maps for all existing game play modes as well as new modes of play. Vast outdoor environments, deep space combat areas and tightly packed indoor techno-arenas are all waiting for the latest entrants to the Tournament. Weapons - The entire smorgasbord of frag-dealing weaponry from Unreal Tournament 2003 returns for the experienced player to wield masterfully against new contestants. Those armaments are joined by three new implements of doom: the Mine layer, which disperses spider-like bombs that chase and harass any enemy that comes within range; the anti vehicle rocket launcher, or AVRiL, which deals out a payload of massive rockets tuned to seek and destroy enemy mechanized units; the Grenade Launcher, which launches timed explosives that will bounce on the ground and stick to enemies and enemy vehicles, only to be triggered by the weapons altfire command; and, the return of the notorious Sniper Rifle from the original Unreal tournament, completely redesigned and upgraded to make heads roll. New Characters - Unreal Tournament 2004 introduces 32 new characters on four new teams: The human Thunder Crash, lead by Tournament hero, Malcolm; the Robotic Corrupt, lead by an upgraded Xan Kriegor; the Iron Skull, a team of merciless Skaarj warriors; and the Hellions -- wreckless human mercenaries and pirates who delight in the thrill of the kill. New Technology - Unreal Tournament not only brings new content for hardcore fans to relish, it also delivers a tremendous technology update over its predecessor, delivering a faster, slicker, deeper experience than ever before.Show more

Unreal Tournament 2004 was everything UT 2003 was supposed to be. I don't think it's as good as the first one but it is still one of the best and most replayable games on the PC. Once again, this game's best feature is simulating multiplayer with bots in a single player environment. Please bring this one back.

UT2004 is a perfect time capsule of its era. On top of being a genuinely fun and varied Arena FPS, it has such a genuinely fantastic graphical style and soundtrack. While not as much of a vibe as UT99, it's still absolutely evergreen.

UT 2004 is the best! One of my greatest games when I was a young teenager. Now I still love this game and unfortunately this is unavailable on any game platform (DVD only). I still remember when I was playing it with my friend and talking about it all the time. Brutality, science fiction, tournament, awesome weapons and this narrator's sounds... "MONSTER KILL!" - that was all that a young boy wanted to do after a day in school :D This series must return, preferably in the form of an "Anthology" edition - come on GOG, you are our last hope for the life of this series!
The fact that Epic Games turned its back on what made it what it became is just depressing and a perfect exemple of the state of the 'AAA' videogame industry and entertainement culture in general. The name of it's engine is taken from the name of the series for crying out loud. Tim Sweeney was at the compagny when it released, how did we get here? I cannot buy it again, but if GoG could bring the Unreal series back, I would be stoked.

Easily the best Unreal Tournament game after the first game. Played its demo for 1000s of hours and then played the full game for another 1000s hours on Steam. Its also sadly the only UT game that I never found a physical copy of because it was always sold out here during its hay day. This game and UT99 will always live forever thanks to mods and community servers. I love playing it still especially with mods like Ballistic Weapons (which has mod dev run multi-player servers)

Jogo Simplesmente perfeito. divisor de aguas, as modalidades, a historia, tudo é magnifico, uma onra prima que não pode jamais cair no esquecimento. todos deveriam conhecer.
Do bring this one back from the hidden depts of the vault, I had so much fun playing this with some of my close friends and family members The challenging one against other family members or friends is why i care so much for this franchise. I really want this one to be preserved as well. It's one of the reasons why I'm asking for this one for it's return. GOG, Save the unreal tournament franchise If Possible. Thanks :)

The best of the unreal games, great single player, and the multiplayer, custom games, mods and the community were all brilliant. Met a few good friends on this game I'm still in contact with to this day. This game needs preserved.
This game was what got me into computer stuff, back then when a 256MB GPU was a luxury and DVDs didn't exist, thus the game was sold in physical stores in a box that came with 6 CDs! And I had to put CD after CD until the around 5GB game was installed, which was an enormous size for a game back then. It also had the best soundtrack I've ever heard in a shooter game, with totally memorable tracks that have been forever on my head because they are tied to how much I enjoyed every moment along with the lore that every character and map had.

I'll just say: Tokara Forest with Instagib and Lightning Guns mutators. Nothing beats this setup for a mad fast-pace combat! I held lan parties with this game, and with so many game modes, that was always one of the top games
Those games also need your vote!

Soviet StrikeIn 1991, the U.S.S.R. (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) boasting the largest military force in history, suddenly and unexpectedly collapsed. Since that time the fallen empire has lain lifeless -- a rich corpse waiting to be picked clean. Now, a sinister ex-KGB general codenamed Shadowman directs a flock of vultures to swoop in from all parts of Eastern Europe and claim Russia's nuclear warheads and weapons of mass terror. While directing these 'wars of liberation' Shadowman intends to shake democratic Russia to it's foundations, bringing about a return to the Cold War...or even worse. You chopper into Crimea and discover the plot of this Russian madman using thermal spy devices. You must quickly move on to the Black Sea to prevent the hijacking of ICBM ships, respond to an attack on a chemical weapons plant in the desert passes, and then recover a nuclear reactor core in Transylvania. As you successfully thwart these stages of Operation Vulture, Shadowman is forced to take his coup to the streets of Moscow. Guide your chopper through five unique 3D worlds as you complete 41 deadly missions. Enemy vehicles, tactics, and responses change, based upon your activities, making this the first of STRIKE's new "Living Battlefields".

Nuclear Strike
Nuclear StrikeNuclear Strike is a shooter video game developed and published by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation in 1997. The game is the sequel to Soviet Strike and the fifth instalment in the Strike series, which began with Desert Strike on the Sega Genesis. The Soviet Strike development team also created Nuclear Strike. EA released a PC port the same year; THQ developed and in 1999 published a Nintendo 64 version called Nuclear Strike 64. Nuclear Strike is a helicopter-based game, with strategy elements added to the action gameplay. The plot concerns an elite special force - the player's allies - pursuing a nuclear-armed rogue spy through a fictionalised Asian setting. It retained the earlier game's engine but added several modifications to improve graphical performance and make the game more accessible. The game features 15 playable vehicles, a large increase from previous games. In addition to the main fictionalised Apache, there are secondary helicopters, jets, armour and a hovercraft. The player also commands ground troops in occasional real-time strategy sections. The game received positive, negative and mixed reviews. Critics noted a weak storyline, though GameSpot dismissed this is as unimportant in an action game. GameSpot called the graphics - which made use of specialised hardware such as 3Dfx Voodoo video cards and the N64 Expansion Pak - "about as good as it gets", while Allgame said they are "decent" and Daily Radar called them "horrible". Critics praised the full motion video as well as the music and sound effects. Reviewers enjoyed the straightforward gameplay but several complained of a close similarity to its predecessor Soviet Strike and questioned the game's value as a result.

Gameplay is similar to the House of the Dead series in which players use light guns to aim and shoot at enemies. Shooting away from the screen reloads the player's gun. The Arcade has a multiplayer element, a second player can join the game at any time.
