quake 4 is a cool game but need more effects
Graphics: The graphics are absoultly amazing, the character models are definetly one of the highlights of the doom 3 engine, and i really enjoy the atmosphere of the game. Also all of the textures are very well done in the game and there are no low res textures when you get up close to a wall or something. But there is one thing that really bothers me in the outside areas the backdrop just looks like it was painted on, for instance you'll be in a large canyon with hills all around you and then the backdrops are like watercolors of high tech cities. But that is very easy to look past.
Gameplay: the gameplay is really good, but because it uses the same engine as doom 3 it really feels like doom in certain part of the games, expessially when you have no marines along side of you, but doom3 was also a very good game so it doesn't make the game not fun. The story really drives the game and makes you want to keep going and never gets boring no matter how far you are in the game.
Sound: The sounds are absoulutly superb. The voice actin really gives the characters personality, and the weapon sounds are very crisp and are very good on he ears. and strogg voices also sound amazing but do get repetive.
Overall it is an extremely fun game and the very few problems are easy to get past, definatly the bast in the quake series
