Unreal Tournament 2004, also known as UT2004 or UT2K4, is a futuristic first-person shooter computer game designed primarily for online multiplayer gaming. The game also includes a single player mode that mimics multiplayer gaming through the use of computer-controlled, artificially “intelligent” players called “bots”. Unreal Tournament 2004 is part of the Unreal series of games and is the sequel to 2002's Unreal Tournament 2003 and a successor to the original smash hit game Unreal Tournament, which many devotees regard as being superior to UT2003 and UT2004. Unreal Tournament 2004 was co-developed by Epic Games and Digital Extremes and published by Atari. The major addition to Unreal Tournament 2004 is the introduction of vehicles to the classic first-person shooter formula following in the footsteps of Tribes 2, Halo: Combat Evolved, and Battlefield 1942. The game also features an improved user interface.
