While Quake1 was not as fortunate as Quake2 we can still say that Quake1 packed a punch. Quake2 packs a punch also a so powerful one it will have you beaten down and entertained for hours to come. From the beginning were you get out of your pod to the very end were you run to a pod Quake2 is awesome. The story is one of the most original ones I have seen to date. Your a marine...grab your gun and kill all those Strogg bastards! What else do you need? Sure its simple,but it worked more then well for Doom.So why not? Even if Quake2 is simple in concept it still offers you a whole bunch of different weapons,power-ups,enemies and levels. Thats allot of stuff to start off with so lets begin!

Enemies - Mostly you will encounter Strogg Cyborgs that are really pissed on you since your the one on the rampage. But fancy cyborgs is not all you will see on your rampage fiesta . You will also encounter failed Strogg `experiments`,female marines turned into deadly `iron maidens`,dog alike creatures that use there tongue to drain your hit-points. Well basically allot of bad guys to use as meat what else do you need?

Weapons - Lets all admit it the weapons in Quake2 are GREAT. You have so much stuff in here that I will not write about all of the guns but instead I will write about the most `remarkable` ones. Much like in Doom you have allot of different weapons to accompany you trout the game but you will also never have something that does not fire. Since indeed your very first weapon is the blaster that has no ammo,thus being unlimited. Likewise the blaster does not pack a punch but you will have use for it,as a flash-light and early weapon. The second weapon you get in the game already kicks ass. The Shootgun, hey?! I know it was logical do not dismiss me yet! Also you have the machine-gun,A Supershotgun,A Railgun,A Rocketlauncher,BFG,Hyper-Blaster and allot more! Ok...were have I heard those before hmm let me think...nope never heard those names before.

Power-Ups - One of the most remarkable things in Quake2 are the oh-so-loved power-ups. You have - Quad Damage,Invulnerability,Silencer,Gas-Mask,Grenades (Yes its a power-up) and ALLOT more.

All in all Quake2 just kicks off with a blazing start and goes for the home run. If you love old-school shoot the bad guys games then Quake2, will not let you down.
