GameSpot's Jeff Gerstmann, recently gave the highly anticpated shooter a very surprising score of 8.0. His reason for giving this unexpected score is because of its rather basic multiplayer which is almost identical to the multiplayer of Quake III Arena, 'Quake 4 is kind of a weird case. The single-player is great fun, but the uninspired multiplayer leaves a lot to be desired. The end result feels like two different games. The single-player has a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to it that makes a great showpiece for the Doom 3 engine, while the online portion feels like it fell out of a time warp. If you're looking for Quake III Arena's deathmatch with better graphics and much higher system requirements, this is your game. But if you're looking for some new ideas from the series that made online deathmatch a big deal in the first place, you're barking up the wrong tree.' I'm not that bothered though, I love the classic Quake multiplayer and I'm looking forward to experiencing it with better graphics. It's quite disappointing that Raven Software didn't consider other ideas, but it sounds like they worked on the single player more than on the multiplayer. I presume the Xbox 360 port will be identical to the PC version, so I don't expect any changes, which I guess is a good and bad thing. Thanks for reading, - SS
