After playing the masterpiece: F.E.A.R. , I didn't really have a good feeling about Quake 4...
You're Matthew Kane an Elite soldier, fighting the Aliens who conquered Earth. Playing within a squad you must face the evil wraths and destroy every one of them.
The story seems pretty standard and it kind off is too. When playing the game you've gotta do missions with your squad but also with other squads. First times i played the game i tried to keep the teammates alive but i found out it doesn't really matter for the rest of the game.
When playing the game for the first time i really didn't feel that well in the game. Quake 4 obviously looks but also feels like Doom 3.
Quake 4 really is Doom 3 without having to scare your ass off every minute. That was the real main part that made Doom 3 amazing.
What makes Quake 4 worth to play then? Well Quake 4 still has some nice features Doom 3 didn't have. Even though it has the same engine, Q4 can manage more and bigger enemies or flying objects on your screen. Maybe Doom3 Could also render that but they just didn't :P.
Also playing with the squads is also kinda cool, especially when you lose someone of your team and how the squad responds to that.
Quake 4 basically is another 3D-Shooter where you don't really have to think what to do , just shoot. This could be fun too though.
Like i already said: a copy of Doom 3, nevertheless still nice especially the huge spaceship and other big things.
Nothing really special. The radio voices are kinda cool when you hear squad members getting killed, but apart of that nothing really new.
I don't think you'll play the game another time, because killing the enemy's in Q4 ain't that fun like in F.E.A.R. . However the Difficulty is much harder in Q4.
If you've already played F.E.A.R. . But still want another shooter buy this one. If you haven't played F.E.A.R. but have a lot of time, play Q4 first and after that play F.E.A.R.
If you don't have a lot of time and money, just buy F.E.A.R.
Quake 4 is a good game but not revolutionary in any way.
