Surprisingly Rewarding Single Player FPS!!!

I'm shocked, but Quake 4 offers a really nice, long story mode. The story is a mishmash of assorted sci-fi cliches, but does a wonderful job of immersing you in an oppressive environment. The graphics are (despite the haters true claims of some sporadic frame rate issues) beautiful, the weapon selection is fantastic, and the shocking twist half way through will leave your jaw agape. I rented it and am considering picking it up on the cheap. The online multiplayer is standard stuff, but it gets the job done. Really good game.

I'm a gamer and I loves It.

Quake 4 yes......it has been done before. Yes it is a first person shooter. Yes it looks great.Yes it plays great. Will you like it yes if you like ecery thing I metioned in the first 4 sentaces. The story mode or campaine is there just to give you a feel for the game, or some thing else to do when your not playing on xbox live. So if you dont like the story line do not play it if you want to just build up your achivements and gamer score play it. (I build up my gamer score to make people think I am just the greatest) So far I like te story mode its visualy pleasing and my wife likes to watch too. On line play is so smooth and fun any one would enjoy it. If you like 1st person shooters,gore,and action paked meihem pick it up great fun. When you read reviews about new games and they say a game is !!next gen!! or not !!next gen!! think about that statment and what it means. The next generation has not been completely explained yet What to look for? we dont even know yet. So I belive that the !!next gen!! revolution is just what it is better graphics and sound and deeper emersion into game play which the xbox 360 dose a great job of doing so check your expetations what do you want from gaming.Think about it.

One of the best Xbox 360 game so far

This FPS is AWESOME!!!!!!!!! You play as Corporal Matthew Kane who is sent to fight the Strogg the evil alien race, after a while you get to become a half man and half strogg which is very cool. The Doom engine is insanely detailed which I have to give the team a thumbs up for this part because of how much work they litteraly put millions of polygons in the game. The enemy A.I. isn't awesome but it is still a challenge. The game is not short and its hours of fun. The weapons are some of the coolest weapons ever in a game. This game isn't horror based like Doom 3 but it still has some scary moments. This game is defintely worth buying.

Very pleased

I bought this game at launch and it's very good. I haven't played it on Xbox Live or any multiplayer and I've just been playing the single player version. But it is a fantastic FPS. There's a lot of blood and gore and I always want to rescue the AI friends that can't be rescued. The single player is also long which surprises me because I figured that a launch title would be rushed out and have fewer levels. That isn't so.
The single player mode is immersive and fun.
I can't really compare this game to any Playstation 3 games because those games only exist in ones imagination or in cutscenes.

AWESOME AND BETTER THAN PERFECT DARK ZERO

I bought this game two days ago from circuitcity and when I put the disc in my 360 I was blown away. As I was playing the game I've been comparing it to another game that I own when I bought xbox360 6days ago. It was perfect dark zero which I completed 3days ago. I found quake 4 faster, you can carry tons of weapons,the aiming is better,the vehicles are better,and the graphics were impressive. Today I finally finished the game and I gotta say that id and microsoft did an amazing job. Another thing that convinced my in buying this was that I found the game in the best sellers shelf. I even though I said that this game is better than perfect dark zero I still reccommand buying it.

super !!!!! excellent gameeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!!!!

Very fun game with great details and sound,etc. Lots of cool, big weapons that will just shread the(strogg)to pieces.Lots of details, and great lighting and textures.QUAKE 4 has a great storyline and tons of different and unique characters. It has really cool monsters and a great detailed atmosphere that will just draw you into the game. You'll be able to drive different vehicles like a hover tank and a walker.Overall QUAKE 4 is worth a buy for sure.

Very Fun Gameplay & Control!

This game is AWESOME, and a TON of fun! The ability to change the sensitivity on the view controls makes a huge difference to your gaming experience. With very intuitive controls, you will easily become immersed in the GAMEPLAY, rather than fumbling around with the controls as you would with PDZ or HALO 1/2! I haven't had this much fun with a FPS since Unreal Tournament first came out for the PC!

Buy this game!!

Graphically Surpasses The Console At The Launch

I don't play first person shooters often. So when I'm in the mood to play one I'm not a hard person to please. Quake 4 is a typical Sci-Fi FPS in every sense, from the outlandish guns, ugly, hostile monsters, to the dark, eerie corridors and desert Mars like outside locations. It is this where Quake 4 reaches its limits very quickly.

The graphics are gorgeous. Excellent lighting effects, heavily inspired, no, copied from Doom 3 (which is not such a bad thing) and the computer AI marines you meet along the way prevent such a tedious, claustrophobic feel you may associate with other games of the genre.

There were a few problems I encountered. The first was its linearity. Often a Marine will tell you to go from point A, to pick up another Marine, then rendezvous in point B to then go to C and repeat the same actions. And despite some attempts to make things a little more varied with rail shooting moments (standing at the back of a moving truck and blasting with a heavy power gatling gun) as well as one level aboard the marine mother ship, which holds a rare RPG style exploration moment, that ends up being the most entertaining moment in the game, the game doesn't reach anything as far as a classic. But then, I don't think that was the intention.

However, the real problem that prevented this from being a game that pushes all the right buttons to make it an above average game is the ridiculous slowdown not sometimes, but often experienced throughout the game when it gets too frantic.

Sure, this game is incredibly detailed. But I'd imagine the game wouldn't have been that less enjoyable if the pixel rating/ resolution was lowered a little to prevent this. And this is a launch title for the 'most powerful console on the market'. It's not good tactics to release a launch that's too much for the hardware to handle.

That being said, if you don't play FPS games often, and you feel a sudden urge to do some massive destruction, and not expect the next revolution in the genre, this can be highly entertaining the majority of the way through.
