The graphics are okay at times. But even on a 500mhz computer it can run slow. I wouldn't recommend buying this game unless you have at LEAST a 300mhz. There are many levels to choose from. The game can get a little frustrating. It's hard. I'd recommend half life if you like shooting though. But besides slow play it's an alright game.

Hail Quake !

Man .... if u r looking for some hardcore fun ... this is the game for u .... i dont need to say much bout how to play and stuff .. cause everyone has played a first person shooter game .... but man ... this is completely different .... It's damn smooth .. nothing much to learn bout ... just install .. grab the mouse ... and beat the hell outta ur enemy .. Unlike half-life and many other games ... Quake doesn't have many complicated controls .... u dont need to scratch ur brains ... just see someone running .. and launch a damn rocket at him/her .. tearing ur opponent into pieces ... Unlike half-life this game is really fast ..I MEAN REALLY REALLY FAST ! .. u dont have to go around searching for a small damn key or looking for a special secret lock ... no such crazy things in quake ..While in half-life .. u gotta wait at the corner .. change ur settings .. pick something up .. then put it down in right place .. it's too slow and boring .... While in QUAKE .. just run over a gun .. u'll pick it up automatically .. and frag someone ... no problems of findin keys .. and secret doors and stuff .. And this is really fast ... u dont need to take ur hands off the mouse and the arrow keys .. just stick to the mouse and keys .. and let the wild side of u take the control of ur enemies .. hehehe The game has the best graphics that no other game can boast of... This is the game that u wanna play with ur friends .. and collegues... And the best thing is it's made to work good even if u have a large ping time (ping time is a big problem in Unreal .. which really really slows the game .. and takes all the fun out of it) ! ... ONE THING I CAN ASSURE IS THAT ... U WILL NEVER GET BORED OF PLAYIN A NETWORK GAME OF QUAKE 3. The stages and levels r simply awesome ... really simple ... the best thing is .. u never get lost ... like u do in "half-life" or "Deux ex" ... some stages r such that .. no one can hide from u .. it's like an open arena ... shoot and kill baby ! and the details of the bots .. and the details of someone getting fragged (killed for newcomers) is so cool and terific ... , Guess what .. i could say this is the most famous game in the history ... look at all those servers on the net .. the channels on yahoo chat and other places .. and u gotta check out their official website ... and have a look at the real life sculptures made by it's fan ... In short ... this is the game for u... if u r looking for some real fast and pure action ... I would love to say LONG LIVE QUAKE !

P.S IT'S GOOD FOR RELAXATION ... SINCE U DONT HAVE TO WORK UR BRAINS .. HAHAHA ... !

THIS GAME ROCKS. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I HAVE EVER PLAYTED. my friend and i play always when we get back from school. its awseome. the 4 stars is really 5 1/2 becuz single player can get boring. i was about 9 when i discovered that multiplayer actually wqorked by accidently clicking on it and seeing servers. if u have a crap 4 connection dont plan on playin interenet cuz u will lag a lot. i have played Unreal Tournament and i think i like unreal better then quake but i dunnno. its a good overall game as long as u play multi player

I love Quake 3 arena.

Between Quake 2 and Quake 3, better settle with Quake 2 or go pick up Unreal Tournament. This game is just too boring and slow. I think it has something to do with the OpenGL engine or maybe the designers at ID software just got tired of revising a tired old game. Maybe they shoudve changed the name of the game to something else. Action is slow. Weapons are just too boring to use. It has no alternate fire still. Sound is the same old monoaural type clunky thumping sound. Interface is still a pain. Just setting up a server requires you to open your .cfg files and .bat files and type lines and lines of code unlike Unreal Tournament where everything is there at a punch of a button. Maps require no strategy primarily because they all look alike. The CTF maps are bad. I mean really terrible. Bots are just too dumb to play with. This game will wear you down in 2 hours. Forget this game. Go pick up Unreal Tournament.

Not up to Par

All in All, I don't see what the big fuss was about. Don't get me wrong, Q3 is a great game, but i think Half-Life beats it hands down with TFC and CS. Q3 IS just a souped up version of Q2, and Quake can get really old after weeks of playing. :P And on a final note, I just couldn't get into Q3 as much as I did Q2 because the levels weren't as real. It was too "cartoonish".

its fun, but not THAT fun

this is a fun game, with beautiful graphics, but unreal tournament is simply a better game. i was playing quake from the start too, its sad to see this one lose to UT. we'll see how they fare up in q4 vs. UT2

A great game

I only have one word for this game AWASOME if only i could give it more then 5 stars i would, I think it is one of the best games out there it gives you a virity of games to choose from Death match, Team Death match, Capture the flag, and Tournament you can also play all 4 types over the internet on heat or Mplayer. If you could only pick one game i would pick this one

The Third Sequel In The Trilogy Turns Out To Be The Best!

Not since the Last Crusade in the Indiana Jones Trilogy have I seen a sequel blow away its predecessors. After laughing uncontrollably at the amazing graphics, I realized the new Bots were kicking my butt! I figured I'd better start shooting back! This game makes Half Life and unreal look like child's play. You have to gun a few people down with the railgun to really get the tingly feeling! I'd would suggest however, to abide by the rating and not let young children get their hands on this puppy! For the nation's sake! You will not be disappointed, even playing on a modem. I thought the lack of the single player game would be a problem, but the bots make up for it. When you hear the footsteps coming towards you, you can help but get a chill! One of the best yet!

The Defacto Death-Match game!

I just recently got this with my new computer and I have to say it's the Alpha and Omega of DM games. Great graphics. The single-player could have been better, but the whole point of making this game was to concentrate on the multiplayer online game. Like tweaking the netcode and balancing out weapons. Everything is great. Recommended buy to any id or DM lover.
