Quake II,in a way is like doom 64 except without the demons and such,is a really high grade N64 FPS,but it has it no no's details below.
1)The violance is very high and the gore is too.
2)There are dead partial eaten looking bodies in the first few levels of the
game.
3)With the ambient sounds and such are sure fire way to make your average 3-year-old/easy to scare people wet their pants.
note to parents: even if your kids beg like they've never begged before for this game,just say NO!!( even if they are 17 or older)

Surprisingly I never got a chance to play the original on the computer, but the N64 version seems to portray the insanity well. As I understand it the weapons, enemies and level textures are the same, but the actual level designs are N64-exclusive, which is a neat touch. Much like the first Quake it's not a thinking man's shooter like Perfect Dark or GoldenEye, but there are some surprising elements such as the enemies that take potshots at you in their death throes. And while there's no online component, it offers a commendable split-screen experience.
The N64 did well with shooters, and Quake II is a solid addition to the library. My only real gripe is with the series itself; from this point on we lost the moody Gothic feel of the original for something much more sci-fi. Still, that may not matter when the enemies come tearing into you.

I played this game originally on a friend's PC, and it was okay, played this version on my N64 and had to have it... Its much better graphics wise and blood and guts wise than the original Quake. Also, beats the crap out of DOOM64 by a long margin. You have to have it to believe it. I am hooked, now Im getting off my computer and playing some quake with my buds. Did I mention you can play more than one player? and you can play against each other too? YOU CAN
Simplistic, quick, fun 3D shooter

This is a totally new spin on Quake II. It is different than the computer version, new levels, new missions, but the same new enemies from Quake II on the computer. There are around 16 levels with 30 missions. What I mean by missions, is that in each level you have stuff to do, such as collect explosives, then place them to blow up a power grid, or realign a satellite dish. If this sounds complex, don't worry just walk up to something and it is done (quite brainless). This game is your stereotypical shooting game, you run in a first person game, with one of seven guns you can pick up and with this game you get a full 360 degrees motion with your gun, so its more than shooting straight. With other shooting games you fight against waves of monsters, in this game there are pretty much 10 - 20 creatures per level, making the levels go by quickly. This is a pretty good game, the only real downfall is that there are only 10 - 20 enemies per level, making the game go by pretty quick and easy. However the second to last level is totally different from the previous levels making it nearly impossible for the player to complete (Several death traps when the previous levels have no death traps).
A nice touch to the Quake series

Quake2 is the coolest game I have ever played! Sure the single player mode is a little short, but I dont care! That just gives me a reason to play it again on a harder difficuty level. It is gory, you have to admit, but it is a nice game. The multiplayer mode is awesome! I love it!
Frag!

This game is great! Even though there are barely any levels to beat in one player mode, but multiplayer is just fun! It's a great game! The only bad thing about multiplayer is that you can't have computers to play with you.
Very UNsurprising graphics

I had played Quake 2 on the computer before I rented it on the N64...expecting the graphics to excede those of the computer, but in actuality, they were rather mediocre. Now I'm glad I didn't buy it for the N64. The controls were rather dificult to learn as well (as compared to playing it on the computer first).
