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)

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).

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).

Far too short

The levels have good points, the graphic violence is beautifully done with 3-D body parts flying everywhere, and the game makes you think. But with only five levels and an end boss, it really is FAR TOO SHORT. with this in mind, you beat it once and may never want to play it again. It may just be a waste of money. The original Quake is better. Even 2-d Doom holds more fun then this. Don't expect to be at this for very long.

a okay game

Quake 2 for the N64 largely reflects the average first person-shooter. Some cool enemies and weapons. Nothing generally monumental aside from the detination center and stroggos lab levels, which churn your gut and offer a deep, lost feeling of despair. It had a hint of goldeneye, as well as the original quake control style. I wish that the music and enviorments had a higher creepout factor, as seen and heard in QUAKE 64. Could have used a few more levels. Also, the expansion pak usage for this game is hardly noticible. All in all, it is mpressive as a game, not to much as a sequal though. I don't even think of it as Quake

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.

Superb first person blaster with excellent multiplay

The N64's rapidly becoming king of this genre with games like Turok 2, Goldeneye and now Quake 2. This is an amazing PC conversion with the added advantage ( for those of us in the UK anyway ) that you don't have to run up a huge phone bill whenever you want to kill some friends. Everything that made the PC version great is here. Its fun,challenging,atmospheric and, like every great game, it has a rocket launcher. And thats just the single player game. Multiplayer is fantastic and shames the PC versions internet play. It's one of only a few games that even comes close to Goldeneye. The only flaws are the graphics aren't too impressive, even with an expansion pak and like I said, it still can't touch 007 but then again, there's no shame in being beaten by the best.

Same Quake, different experience

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.

Great for Multiplayer Deathmatch

Quake II is a great game for multiplayer deathmatches. A fast frame rate combined with cool weapons and a variety of levels makes for a very entertaining multiplayer experience.
