In Quake 4 you play as a space marine, named Matthew Kane who has just been assigned to Rhino squad. This is following the events of Quake II when the nameless space marine had killed the Makron. So the space marines are invading planet Stroggos to finish off the strogg forces. As in most FPS games you play the strong silent type, but everyone else around you seems to talk enough to help you through the game. This game was very well designed, levels are very large and fun to play. The voice acting was done fairly well in this game, even though eventually you start to feel like its the same voices, but still done well for the most part. There are medics and tech people that can refill your health and armor throughout the game, some even follow you carrying a gun and help you through the game at points. The story of the game was pretty well done, Makron dead get the strogg while they're down before they get us. At about half way though the game you yourself become strogg, then your squad luckily comes to save you. The graphics of this game are absolutely wonderful. They use the same graphics engine as Doom 3, and they also made a few improvements. The also added a mounted flashlight to your pistol and your main assault riffle. So lighting is no longer a problem like in Doom 3, but you can turn it on and off if your into that same style of experience. The multi-player was designed similar to Quake III, and actually has allot of the same levels, so the its kinda a dud since your rehashing those levels, they do look nicer and there are a few new ones, but they really could have improved the multi-player. The multi-player also does not have bots so its not like you and a couple friends can just play it together and really enjoy it or you can do it by yourself, such as in Quake III. The replay is pretty fun just because the single player has a pretty good story and really is a fun experience, but there really is not anything to unlock or anything. All in all this is by far one of the most fun FPS games out there. Quake 4 really shows what a good fun FPS should be like, and I highly recommend it for those into action FPS games that have a good computer.
What can I say? It is truly a fun FPS to play. The game looks splendid and 3x better looking than Doom 3. The textures look very good and characters models are done very well. The smoke effects from a fire after an explo... Read Full Review
Built on Doom 3's technology, I expected this game to be very much like its counterpart. And it is, but more fine tuned. The graphics are arguably the best ever made. The gameplay is excellent, your enemies are tough, an... Read Full Review
