I really tried to enjoy Quake a lot, but unfortunately it gets too repetitive and boring, and it tries to rip off Doom and Resident Evil. The enemies feel really quite stupid and uninteresting unlike the enemies in Doom and Resident Evil and they are just annoying and pesty. Your weapons are kinda cool, but they feel dull most of the time and not very satisfying when slaughtering hordes of enemies. The 3-D graphics are just awful to look at, and have no where near the finesse of the graphics of Doom. Some parts of the game manage to salvage some of the disappointments that linger in it. Unfortunately, this game is marred by boredom and repetition which really kill its chances of being a classic.

Quake is for me!

I'm late to this whole id thing, but man, this game is great! I remember watching a friend play Duke Nukem 3D on PC way back, little did I know then that id Software would eventually make Doom, and then this game!
I love the atmosphere. There's some really memorable level designs in here, like The Necropolis, The Dismal Oubliette and The Ogre Citadel. I like to dodge and watch the grenades that are meant for me bounce past as I strafe and turn down the stairs out of view of the first Ogre in the Citadel, see how close I can time it and not get hit, then I sneak up on him and kill him for his troubles. Hah!

Add to the excellent environments the very effective ambient soundtracks, and the game is a work of art I can appreciate. A work of art that one experiences and unfolds with skill and practice. I've had the game for 3 weeks and I'm to Chambers of Torment, stuck there for now. I got stuck on the Wizards Manse too for a while.

Christians playing this game??? Well, if you are a Christian -AHEM, A TRUE AND CORRECT CHRISTIAN WHO IS BETTER THAN ALL THE NON-TRUE AND INCORRECT CHRISTIANS- there are parts in the game where you can see some lines forming a symbol, and that symbol will not just scare you, it may make you think that OOPS, yes, you yourself ARE NOW INDEED GUILTY of doing something against God by playing this videogame on your television.

Quake, when it first arrived in 1996, was a ground-breaking 1st-person shooter. Not because it brought anything more to the table than DOOM in terms of raw gameplay, but because it used a full 3D polygon based engine instead of a sprite-based one. It was also a very moody game, featuring very hellish-looking Gothic environments and a mix of relentless enemies.

The N64 version was a straight PC port, the only difference being it lost the online multiplayer options for a 2-person deathmatch. While it was criticzed during initial release for coming 2 years too late, a decade later its nice to have a version of Quake that runs flawlessly when windows XP has made the PC version glitchy or unplayable.

If you have an N64, you can relive Quake in all its brutal gothic glory. It's technically dated, but still loads of fun to play. And never try to put the pin back in.

This is the one. All of the other Quakes got all modern with dealing with space and getting all futuristic and whatnot. This one however dealt more on the lines of the underworld, demons, zombies, and other things like that. Sure it may not have the bext graphics or multyplayer but in my few is the best of the series. Play this one before you play the others.

Don't get wrong i love this game but!!!!!! it has a miss!!!

First, id software gave us Doom, then Quake came about....the graphically-enhanced, true 3D successor to Doom.

I bought Quake immediately when it first came out for the N64, because it was the first version of the awesome PC game available to me. It does not disappoint in any way. The graphics are dark, gloomy, and gorgeous. The levels are intricate with plenty of secret areas. The enemies are fast and difficult to kill....that's one of the things this game's really got goin' for it....it's VERY challenging....it'll take you numerous tries to complete some levels....the demons and monsters can and will make mincemeat out of your ass.

Quake 2 for the N64 is a tad better, but if you love FPS Doom-type games like me, by all means, get this game now!

Overall, 9 out of 10.

Not at all man.

This game is to dark to see anything and hard to play with the controls provided. I'd recommend upgrading to a different system for this game.

I love Quake!

First off let me tell you , the graphics are better than the PC version,I should know, like any other Quake or Doom fan, I would spend sleepless nights playing through dungeons killing fiends and Vores to my hearts enjoyment. The framrates slow down slightely when you are in a room with lots of enemies, but not so much as to destroy gameplay. Overall its a pretty Great game.

PS. For all those Christian folk who dont understand why the game has "Demonic" things in it and who find it offensive, let me explain,I too would find it offensive if the game said go to the pentagram and be happy(which it doesnt), the enemies spawn from the Pentragrams, which is why you "avoid" the pentagrams, to sum it all up the reason why the demons are there is for you to kill them, basically you fight a furious battle against evil, if you had the determination and the ability would you just hide things in the corner for the demons to destroy God's creation? I should hope not.

I rented this game thinking that it would be really cool. Unfournately, I was kinda dissapointed. The graphics are like a pc shoot 'em up that had come out in 1995...If you want a good shoot em ups, don't get this one...
