You got nothing named ut2004-lnx-demo-3120.run or similar? That should have been inside the archive, then you'd make sure it's executable and then run it.

Did you get ANYTHING in the bz2? it should be a single file...a binary embedded into a script (or the other way around perhaps). Keep in mind that the run file is 420MB, highly compressed....it takes a looong time to extract, so i'm thinking there's a possibility you may have interrupted the decompression thinking it was finished?
