Editor Notes:
The UT2004 Retail version patch 3186.1 is available as the "Download Now" link. The demo is still available for download in the Related Links section of this page.
Description:
Unreal Tournament 2004 demo is a 3D, first person action game. This demo includes 5 maps (AS-Convoy, ONS-Torlan, DM-Rankin, CTF-BridgeOfFate, BR-Colossus), 6 game modes (Assault, Onslaught, Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, Team Deathmatch, Bombing Run).
UT2004 takes gladiator combat to a new level with the addition of land and air vehicles, an arsenal of new weaponry (including mines, rocket-propelled grenades and stationary gun turrets), daunting new arenas, epic battlefields and the challenge of the Assault and Onslaught game types.
What's New:
Version 3186.1 fixes the following:
Game no longer crashes at startup if you have an iSight or USB microphone plugged in.
Fixed a serious crashbug buffer overflow in the VoIP code.
Servers should no longer kick you for cheating (unless, of course, you're really cheating).
Fixed the crappy colors on the splash screen (hey, it was bothering me!).
Other less notable fixes.
Requirements:
PowerPC G4+, Mac OS X 10.2.8 or later, 256MB RAM, 32MB video card, (Updater requires the retail release).
This line cracks me up: "Fixed the crappy colors on the splash screen (hey, it was bothering me!)."
So, yea. Downloading... Update post to come.8)
EDIT: Forgot to update.
Frame rates seemed to stay the same. I can see the spider in the nVidia animation and I don't think I could before. Seems to react a tad bit faster. Didn't notice anything totally out there.

Somebody said that the bug was in the audio processing and so you could run the demo on a single processor machine with the audio off to get a rough approximation.

That's what I've been doing, but I want hard proof anyway.
HERE is another!

I bit the bullet and bought it (at Apple SoHo, no less!), and I'm blown away. I get 30-40 FPS in Onslaught, with sound, and my FPS dances between double- and triple- digit numbers in most DM maps. I'm pleased with my purchase.

You should be okay in DM and CTF,but ONS and AS might be a bit choppy.

I've got the demo - Onslaught is certainly playable. I put most settings to Medium, close all other Apps (and turn up the volume to mask the blast of the fans) and I can live with the mild choppiness.
Will the Full Game play better or worse than the demo?

Well, if you have a Dual Processor machine, then the answer is 'maybe a teeny bit'. If you have a single processor Mac, your performance will double, or, if you've been playing with the audio off, be the same FPS with the audio ON.

Double performance? That's pretty awesome. And that's really true - not just hype?
I think I'll get the game then
There is yet another update. Many, many things changed.
HOWEVER THERE IS A CATCH!
Found this in the readme AFTER I installed.
Make MacOS version prevent user from ejecting the game DVD while game is running. (Tell your friends to get their own copy for your next LAN party. Sorry.)
But PC users can play now play without the DVD.
