what truly makes quake a good game is the fact that theres a good viriaty with some of the weapons even if they seem like copys from doom.[railgun, no bfg!?!?!?!, nail gun] but they also have traditional ones aswell such as shotguns and rifles and machine guns. the vehicles seem average without the real flair and greatness of games like halo or half-life. it at least varys in its envirnments and monster closets from doom are thankfully gone. there apperently is ducktape on the strogg planet [none on mars apperently] because theres a flashlight attached to his guns[machine gun and blaster]. you dont need it as much as you would in doom 3 and the enemys have a good a.i. and a multyplayer that takes a little more then enough influence from quake 3[its basicly the same =p]. the bad parts of quake 4, its not as good as fear is but it has great shooter elements that make you feel like your there even though they arent nearly as instense as fears. the only reason this wont be as good of a hit as fear is that it came out on the same day [or almost]. fear is a much better game but if youve plaed through the short campagn of fear and got into the shooter vibe dont hesitate to pick up quake 4 because you wont go wrong in any manner.[i added theses points in to add a bit of humor and corrected info as ive now played multiplayer of quake 4 to death]
