Great grqphics combined with the familiar twitch 'n shoot Quake style gameplay

User Rating: 8 | Quake 4 PC
This game looks better than Doom 3 (mostly because you can actually see more than just darkness) and runs smoother too. Add in excellent sound, an adequate storyline, lots of enemies, and that famous twitch and shoot Quake style of gameplay and it's the best of the series. The AI isn't very (maybe Nova Logic developed it?) but there is a lot of it. None of the weapons seem very powerful too me, especially against higher enemies, and the machine gun sound is lame enough to be an embarassment to the Devs (or it should be anyway). Does anyone else hate grenade lanchers that fire grenades that look like red glowing soup cans and don't fire as far as you could throw one? I know I do. The rail sequences (riding in the back of a hover truck manning a machine gun, driving a hover tank later in the game, and later still in a walking armor suit) are all too predictable. They probably could have been made into regular levels and the game would have been improved. Having said all that..........I like this game. Some of the fire fights are really good and it's defintely excellent eye candy on the higher graphics settings.
