Not for those that demand more from their first-person shooters.

User Rating: 6.2 | Quake 4 PC
By StuartWest71 | Review Date:
Whilst I was impressed with the graphics, this game soon became monotonous, with its old-school by the numbers game play. Perhaps I have been spoiled by such classic titles as Far Cry and Half-Life 2, but this simplistic formula just doesn't work for me anymore.

If you purchase Quake 4, expect the following:-

1) Pretty Basic AI.
2) Linear path. Always one green door, amongst many red ones.
3) The obligatory on-the-rails vehicle section.
4) Mostly corridor based blasting.

There is a place in the world for this type of game, and I am sure many gamers enjoy it, however if you are not one of them, be warned.

Please note that this review is based upon the single player experience only, as I have not played online multi-player. The chances of me playing the game through a second time are nil.

Overall I would say that it is worth a quick blast if you can pick it up cheap, but to avoid if you prefer more substance in your first-person shooters.
