Players can use melee weapons only in third-person mode, but can switch between first- and third-person mode on the fly while using firearms. Players can also perform special "Fatality" moves very much like Mortal Kombat, another game series by Midway.

Unreal Championship 2 adds melee combat to the series by allowing characters to switch to their respective weapon, such as a blade or staff. Other additions include the new gametypes Overdose and Nali Slaughter, new weapons including melee weapons, and more adrenaline combos than in previous games. Unreal Championship 2 features 14 different characters from the Unreal universe, plus extra characters released in a bonus pack via Xbox Live.
