Quake 4

Very Pretty. But repetative and consolized gameplay make it feel exactly like a doom 3 expansion.

The subject tells it all. I expected much more from Raven software which has always been groundbreaking even if sometimes they fail. This game basically takes a few fun things from Doom + Halflife + Halo and expect PC Gamers to be fully satisfied. Where did Ravensofts innovation go? Maybe PC Game developers will come work for us again someday... Until then, expect allot more watered down console games.
The single player is very well scripted, but the gameplay is sooooooo repetative. There is one game convention and it is used repeatedly throughout the entire game. 1. Meet up with team 2. Go open a door for the team 3. Meet back up with the team 4. Go back to step 1... The game is worth playing through once, then sell your copy on ebay or something.
