If you enjoyed Doom 3..You will love the single player mode in this one also. I was saddened when the game came to a end. I wanted more. I have been looking everywhere for add on single player maps, but there isn't many. I can't say anything about online play, because I have never tried it. But single player is worth the price of the game. It will play pretty well on a Emachine also.

A Fun Game But...

I miss the Arena style Quake. I love competing on all the different levels offered in the Q3 Arena game. Good graphics, but a little easy...just point shoot and you advance.

Did I buy Doom 4 instead of Quake 4?

As with Doom 3, I didn't finish this game. Like D3 it's just mindless wandering through dimly lit mazes of bizarre machinery. Unlike D3 you don't have monsters suddenly popping up in your face, but the ambience is the same. Even with a fast rig it gagged sometimes and I had to play it at a lower res than I would have liked. I've been a FPS fan since Wolfenstein first came out, but I don't think I will buy any more ID games if they are going to be like this.

Great, but a few flaws i would like to inform

Quake fans, FPS fans, PC gamer fans, whatever, this is a great game. The graphics and sound are great. The story line isnt horrible, however, I wasn't that impressed. The game comes with a bonus CD with 3 different versions of Quake 2 and lots of extras and movie/trailers for quake4. The weapons are fun, and dont take too long to get (unlike some games). You can even get weapon upgrades. Multiplayer is FLIPPIN SWEET!!! This is all adds up to build what i call "great in the most important ways".

I guess i just desribed the good stuff to you, so i think i will just get to what you need to worry about. In other words, heres the bad:

-The game has good graphics natuarly, so i wouldnt worry too much about the fact that the game requires lots of space and recommends you to have a good video card, or else you may experience some lags and slow, choppy movement (trust me, you DO NOT want to lag in multiplayer mode and lose the round because of it). If you go to video options, you can select 4 different visual qualities: Low, medium, high, and ULTRA FREAKIN HIGH!(its acualy just called "ultra high"). DO NOT select ultra high, no matter how tempted you are, it wil slow down your computer a ton; unless u spent like 1000 bucks on a video card.

-No melee atacks or grenades (although u do get a grenade launcher, which isnt even worth wielding by the way)

-very dark, and the only weapons that have a flash light are the 2 weakest weapons (well, the machine gun is OK i guess)

-Multiplayer is fun, but in every round there is always 1 player who seems to be better then everyone else and annoys the crap out of you, and always comes in 1st place.

-The game is loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong...like, 60 minuts 1 hour and 59 minuts and 60 seconds long, just to complete like a 5th of the game. I have the manual, so i can go through the game quickly, and i look in the manual and see that i have been playing for like 6 hours and i only have a 4th done....its a very hard game , too (even on the easiest difficulty!).

-Besides the fact that the pistol you have well, pretty much sucks, which you must use when u run out of ammo (and trust me, you run out of ammo alot), thats pretty much it.

One more GOOD thing. As you probably know, many many games require you to search and run around for like an hour or so before you acualy get a weapon. Then, you must run around for another hour until you get to the action (halflife series, doom series, a little in halo, AREA 51). All the quake games let you start out with a gun, and the action kicks in in like... 2 minuts(quake 2 it starts like in 3 seconds).

So anyway, thats pretty much it. The reason why i only took off one star for alll those things is because most of them are pretty minor, and arent much of a problem once u get used to it. So overall, yeah, you should get this game. You will enjoy it, that is, as long as you enjoy FPS games. I know i might throw some people off cause this is a kids review, but seriously, i play FPS games alot, and lots of them. Dont let my age fool you, I know a good FPS game when i play one, and this is a good FPS game!

Solidly entertaining FPS

While Quake 4 will never win any awards for originality, it's still a fun FPS game with plenty of action, a few good "Holy crap!" moments, and lots of atmosphere. If you're a fan of high action first person shooters, you could do worse than picking up Quake 4.

WOW! it doesn't get better than this!

i thought Doom 3 was incredible, well Quake 4 is even better. same graphics engine, so it is absolutely stunning. the lighting and textures are amazing. and what makes it better than Doom 3, is that you get to fly ships, drive tanks, shoot cannons, and fight alongside other members of the Rhino Squad. there is comic relief in the spoken dialogue at times too, which i think is very cool. i have not tried Multiplayer, but i don't really care either. i have UT GOTY and 2004 for my online gaming urges. this is designed for 1 player fun and it is intense. GET A GOOD VIDEO CARD. i have nVidia's GeForce 6800 (256 MB) and it runs wonderfully. AND TURN YOUR SPEAKERS WAY UP!

Play Quake 4!

Not playing? You're missing all the fun! Lengthy, fun, gorry shooter :-) Grab your blaster and get some Strog! Seriously - I've played all the single players and this one's challenging and the best (yes it plays on Vista)!

Quake 4

Awsome 3d shooter, better first player than Quake 2, or as good (remember back then). I wish online play was faster, my P4 2.2Ghz with 2gb memory and 128mb ATI DirectX 9 video card can't handle it. Other than that I am surprised it runs 1player smooth enough. You will like the different types of gameplay and spaceships you aboard. I am only about 5 levels deep into the game. I hope I play it throughout how much I plan to take advantage (milk) my laptop for either way. My laptop runs Everquest 2 super fast, that is a long time I plan to take advantage of the current "tier" of DirectX9. I will build a computer afterwards. Buy it! Quake quake quake! What else.

fav of all time

This game is an excellent opportunity for those who thought Battlefield, and Medal of Honor series are great. Don't forget, it was Soldier of Fortune that gave us excessive GORE! Not to mention its NOT FUN to play a game where you shoot an enemy and he simply lays on the ground smiling, with no wounds at all!! I'm pointing this out since this in the only game so far developed by RAVEN Soft. The same geniuses that created SOF. Only play this game and you will find out that out of all the FPS games out there, this is one of 2 games that still retains the compatible amount of gore. Its well made with few bugs (i don't know the online version) and is still intense. SOLDIER of FORTUNE was the game that got me into FPS. However I'm still debating whether to purchase other FPS titles, for they are becoming more story driven than anything else. IN my OPINION IF YOU WANT A GOOD STORY, GO SEE A DAMN MOVIE. AND REMEMBER, GAMING WAS MADE FOR ACTION NOT THE WIMPY STORY LINES. Don't blame me, I love a storyline but am not obsessed with it. I really miss the classic SOF games with their brutality and violence. Those Days Will NEVER BE THE SAME!! (for all you people that can't take it as SCI-FI fantasy, and cause high school shootouts).
