A great shooter and a spectacular graphics engine to match.
Squad AI in the game is rather good and sometimes the do a better job than you which is a good thing.
Gameplay is great and the single player campaign is fun. I can get into the game and it is very hard to get out because of its addictive nature. Level design was different than in Doom 3 but sometimes I feel like I am playing Doom 3 because of the corridor scenes. Overall this is not Doom 3, this is Quake 4 and it has differentiated itself well. I love the variety of guns in the game. The way the guns fire just makes me chuckle with happiness.
The graphics is spectacular. One of the reasons that I love this game is the graphics engine which works so well with nvidia cards.
Sound is one of the things that I love about this game because once again if you have sound blaster X-fi or sound cards that are capable of producing Open AL sounds then you will realise that I could not describe it in this review. You have to play for yourself and Xperience it.
The value of this game for me is in the multiplayer as many other games are. This is the first time I am trying a quake multiplayer and I have to admit that it is fun, addictive and also extremely annoying because sometimes I dont last up to 3 seconds. but once you start fragging people, it gets a little devilish. You can almost see the grin on my face.
This is a NICE game. Why did I use the word nice, because I am glad I have it in my collection. Its just one of those games you cannot miss if you are a shooter for real.
