Now I haven't played the full game, only the demo that came with the Official XBox Magazine. I have yet to play it on live yet but I have been able to play against the bots.

Bad stuff:
First: you have to toggle between 1st and 3rd person which is annoying to say the lest.
Second: you can only have 4 weapons, one of which is a melee weapon (which forces you to go into 3rd person, which is a good Idea but annoying at times), one is rubbish and the other two are one explosive and one energy weapon, both of which you have no starting ammo for.
Third: in the demo you can have a max of 3 bots and most of the maps you play on are too large for a good game with so few things to kill.
Forth: weapons have been evened out a bit the best example of this is the rockets are now slow firing
Finally: The ancient Egyptian theme is pretty cool.

Overall I’m not saying it’s a bad game; I just don’t think it’s as good as the unreal tournament games.

its an attempt to draw the championship brand away from being a cheap copy of tournament.
the developers want to establish unreal as a more console friendly brand.
so it must play very differently to the original series

i was looking forward to the melee combat myself, very jedi knight like i was hoping it to be (yoda...)
