What lag?! Boo GameSpot. Ya screwed this game out of a decent rating!
·Graphics are great and smooth.
·Fun and addicting mulitplayer (if you can find people).
·Comes with Quake II full version with multi player!!
Bad Idea:
·Sounds are just incredibly muffled.
·A tiny lag sometimes in the graphics era
·Not enough people playing online.
Overall:
A great shooter and worth the $49 I spent on it. When I'm done with it, I can kick back with some remastered Quake II!
-------------------------------------------
The game runs just fine for me. I'm also running an updated firmware on my Xbox360. I rarely run into any slowdowns. Basically, the frames go from like 50fps to 30fps when there's a ton of things on the screen at once. That's nothing. I have this game on PC, and I didn't want to upgrade my PC for a few grand, so this is running just fine for me. Still, major slowdowns? I haven't seen any. I will say the sound completely **** You have to turn completely around to hear what the heck your teammates are saying. The other sounds aren't that spiffy either. The multi player is a great experience since I think Quake III is one of the best arena death match games ever. I just wish they had bots... and split screen. And third person mode just so I can watch my guy run around.
I dunno much about the story. I found Quake II to just be a shooter with cool weapons when I was younger so I don't really care about that. I just like the game. It's fun. Plus it comes with Quake II, and it looks just as old skool as old skool can get. If it weren't for the sounds, this game would be more than perfect.
Besides, the only lag I've been getting is online play. But it could be my DSL is just running a little slow.

Violence:
·A ton of gore and you are contantly seeing torchered humans. You even get to see people sawed into pieces.
Sexuality:
·None.
Language:
·A load of big words but only in the single player. It's only when someone is talking to you. The Strogg doesn't cuss, at least in our language.
Substance Use:
·None.
