Midway et Epic ont enfin terminé la version XBox 360 de Unreal Tournament 3, et en voici les Dix Premières Minutes un peu en avance. Il sera disponible la semaine prochaine en Europe et aux USA.

Unfortunately I never got to try the Playstation 3 or PC version, so I will have to leave out the most interesting part: comparison between the versions. I can say though, that the framerate holds up well and the game looks fantastic.

The Xbox 360 version is released 8 months after the earlier mentioned two, and features the same maps and developer-created content, plus five exclusive maps and a two player split-screen mode.

You can play the campaign mode by yourself or up to four friends, which consists of a story shown through video sequences between the missions. The Instant Action mode lets you play against bots using your prefered settings, including a big bunch of different difficulty settings.

The bots work well, the harder difficulties aren't all about the enemies doing headshots from large distances as it usually is, they move well and do tactical moves to take you out. You will see more of this in the video below, as I finish off the introduction of the game in Normal difficulty. We will post another video closer to its release showing more of the campaign mode. Let us know in the comments section if you want to see any particular map in action too!

Also, the video below is 480p. I got a 720p card (thereof the 720p images), but my processor is unable to handle video capturing in 720p. This will change soon though, so hopefully 480p is good enough for now and a week or two from now.
