So far seems good though not sure if they where expecting 90+ like gears.  Looks like crysis in terms of reviews will be better overral.

why,did you think this would beat crysis

Because it has been talked about having the bestest graphics ever though mainly because the previous unreals where really good I was hoping this would be even better. Crysis is a new IP so you just never know.

By the way these are early and very few reviews so it might better.

reviewers suck at playing it seems... they cant handle the speed of the game. thats why they are giving B's. UTIII takes a bit of training to react in a second flat.

Ut3 is great, im loving it (demo). But seriously, just graphic wise, crysis is far superior.

Yeah unreal has always been insanely fast paced. For me at least it was the best multiplayer game I played on the PC back when I used to play PC games.

I found UT3 to look a bit... grey, for some reason it didn't impress me as much as UT or UT2004 which I loved. I like the hover boards, they are pretty cool but the vehicles are a mixed bag.
I only played the demo for about 2 hours, so I'll give it more time before making a final judgement.

It's fast, but UT isn't quite as fast as Quake, but I think thats what makes it a bit more tactical

 Dead on. 

Crysis undoubtedly looks better graphically, but they are both a completely different experience as far as the multiplayer is concerned.

Both are excellent games, and I am sure I will pick up UT3 after the holidays.  But based on the demo which I have spent quite a bit of time with it should be a lot of fun.

I think the game looks good but I'm going to hold out on getting it for now. I plan no getting Gears of War first because I already have plenty of online multiplayer games like Quake and Battlefield.
