Quake 4
Date undefinedWith what im about to say keep in mind that im a hardcore gamer. i play games not for the graphics or story. but for entertainment, and personally i found Quake 4 to be extreamly fun. on the harder difficulties i found it to be quite challengeing i love the weapons and the weapon upgrades. which is what makes the game so fun to me. the baddies are pretty cool, and also upgrade as the game progresses. like others have said, its just mindless monster blasting action. and i still play it to this day. (dont mind the horrible spelling)
Quake 4
Date undefinedTake this with a grain of salt because I'm only a few hours into the game, and I'm always tough on games.
I paid about $12 for this game used and I feel a bit taken. The graphics and mood are almost exactly like DOOM 3, but all of the fun has been bled from the game. The Strogg are not creepy, so the dark moodiness of the game becomes more annoying than anything. The story simply doesn't exist. The cut scenes are horrendous (think N64 style in-game graphic cut scenes). Everyone has the same face and Forrest Gump haircut. The weapons are so generic it hurts. The sound and music seem like an afterthought. Finally, the frame rate drops during almost every action scene.
All that said... wait, no. I have nothing positive.
Quake 4
Date undefinedI'm just going to insert a few pros and cons to consider in your purchasing decision for QUAKE 4.
PROS-
+Awesome single player campaign
+Cheap, can find used for less than 15 dollars
+High Replay Value
+Good graphics for what you pay for
CONS-
-Multiplayer is lacking
-Achievements are very difficult
I would give this game a solid 8/10 just because of its single player campaign. Honestly, who doesn't love a quake game? Lots of blood, guts, and gore in general. The only downsides to the game are the XBOX LIVE multiplayer and the achievements. But I would highly recommend this game if you can pick it up for less than 15 bucks.
