GameSpot sits down and talk to Digital Extremes lead designer
Pancho Eekels about Unreal Tournament II, "the recently confirmed first-person shooter".
Pancho Eekels: Unreal II is a single-player-focused mission-based game and has lots of story and background, tasks, and events, as well as a bit more action than the original. Unreal Tournament 2 is a sequel to the original multiplayer-focused action-packed game for the PC. Unreal Championship for Xbox is similar to Unreal Tournament 2 in the multiplayer focus and action but incorporates the element of console play into an FPS that many have not been able to do yet.
