"Robot Wars" (or just "Bot Movie") is a non-interactive video made with the UT2004 engine. It's incredibly cinematic, telling the tale of a passive bot who doesn't wish to participate in the Deathmatch. It was one of the finalists in the "Make Something Unreal" contest.

I downloaded the real-time version and was very impressed with it. Linked above is a .wmv capture, so people who don't have UT2004 can watch it. It's a 215mb download and completely worth it.

Interesting video.

I found the ending rather dramatic. It was a large play on emotion. And I really enjoyed the test. when he was offered a gun

Hey, at least someone watched it! :) I really enjoyed the music. It set the mood well.

About the ending: Him becoming a health pickup was a really nice touch. I'll never look at the health icons the same way again.

I also enjoyed how every little sound made the robot...'freak' out? I watched it, it really isn't something I'd watch again. It was one of those one time things.
