The game is visually comparable with Doom 3 or Half-Life 2 in most regards, though the 360 version (despite having HD capability) has some of its textures downgraded from the best and brightest possible on the PC. The existence of weapon upgrades and modifications means that the tactical options open to you remain interesting choices throughout the game, and weapon selection can seriously alter your approach to particular engagements. In short, there’s nothing here that hasn’t been done before in other shooters, but it does all hang together quite nicely. There are even a couple of vehicle piloting segments, putting you at the command of a hovertank or a missile-equipped mecha to cover large battlegrounds on the way to some obectives. Along the way, you get to wield a good-sized arsenal of FPS staples, as well as a few guns unique to the world of Quake (nail gun, anyone?). Missions run the gamut from escorting a combat medic from point A to point B all the way up to the total annihilation of the Strogg communications and command structure. After being shot down on your descent to the planet’s surface, things get hectic fast, and Kane finds himself constantly on the run from one skirmish to the next, stopping only long enough to help some of his fellow marines get back to their units and blast some baddies.Īs shooter plotlines go, this is pretty stock fare, though it’s got more depth than Doom 3 did. This time out, however, you are put in the role of Matthew Kane, a hard-charging space marine with Rhino Squad, dispatched to Stroggos to battle the alien (though very human-like) Strogg (the Strogg are a lot like Star Trek’s Borg, if all the Borg had their implants done in back-alley black market cosmetic surgery clinics).
The newest iteration certainly ramps up the story-telling over previous installments in the franchise, though in fairness that wouldn’t be hard…there are Bazooka gum wrappers with more plot than the first two games in the series, and Quake III dropped pretty much all pretense to become a straight-up deathmatch title geared for online and LAN play only. Hot on the heels of sequels to its fellow venerable shooter franchises Doom and Half-Life, Quake 4 arrived to try and cash in a bit on the nostalgia/sequel craze. My Advice: Fans of the FPS will probably want to check this one out, though it doesn’t really break any new ground.
keep on the good work for the fans.Platform: PC, Xbox 360 (reviewed on Xbox 360) Great game with perfect gameplay for quake lovers. I play at my friend (his computer is perfect) buut this game is just boring.Ĭomment: this game takes the quake universe to a next level of graphic beauty. a relatively small enviroment to explore but swarming with Stroggs.Ĭomment: this is cool ya prople it is cool im the side i got killed 90 times i still played it kool ya man this is koolĬomment: The single player is awesome, but I'm somewhat dissapointed in the multiplayer (I like the Q3 multiplayer game more.
NOT reccomended to those light hearted because of numerous mutilated corpses lying on the floor and bloodstained rooms.It can also give NIGHTMARES. lots of nightmarish monsters that pop up almost from everywhere!(after all it has been created by same company who created the DOOM series) squad combat - in Single Player fight alongside marines and protect them at all costs.This is the most important feature with makes it very different from the previous Quake games. awesome enviroments(and most of the time nightmarish) The next installment in the Quake franchise.Ĭomment: i cant say it was that good creepy tho not much scary but some parts it will never hav the potential to be a gears of warĬomment: This is a very AWESOME pieces of artwork!Gives me the CREEPS but I still love it.
