  • Summary: Quake 4 is the first game to utilize id Software's revolutionary DOOM 3 technology. In the game, you are Matthew Kane, an elite member of Rhino Squad and Earth's valiant invasion force. Fight alone, with your squad, and in hover tanks and mechanized walkers as you engage in a heroic mission into the heart of the Strogg war machine. But, in this epic war between worlds, the only way to defeat the Strogg is to become one of them. Battle through early missions as a deadly marine, then after your capture as a marine-turned-Strogg with enhanced abilities and the power to turn the tide of the war. [Activision]… Expand

    It's hard to truly give this game as much praise as is deserved. While the concept may not be all too new, visually and audibly this game is leaps and bounds above the rest.

    QUAKE 4 is an addiction, a perfect sequel, both in story and gameplay, and a game you will want to explore over and over, if for no other reason that to keep piling on those Gamer Points.

    An above average shooter, worth looking into if you're a fan of the genre.

    OK I'm the person that rated Quake 4 as a 410 based on poor graphics. I'm back to right a wrong. Recently I bought a LCD HDTV for my Xbox 360 and I'm playing games in 1080i. I decided to download the Quake 4 Demo (after trading it in a while ago). I can not believe it is the same game. The graphics explode and come to life in HDTV. This is now one of my favorite games. If you have a HDTV this game is a must have.… Expand

    I have no problem with a simple mindless shooter on occasion. In fact, I'm re-re-re-playing the crusty old Quake 2 on PC right now with one of the enhanced engines, upgraded textures etc. What I do have a problem with (other than the crap console controls for this sort of game, but what are you gonna do?) is the framerate. First rattle out of the box, this game runs at maybe 20-25 frames per second, and only goes downhill from there. Mind you, this is prior to any combat or much of any action occurs, just getting out of your wrecked dropship and walking around. And that's the other annoying, "non-Quake" thing: the speed at which you travel. It feels like you're just shuffling your feet. I've been a long-time fan of Raven, but this conversion certainly can't be one that they're proud to have their name on.… Expand

    A lazy port of a below-average PC game. Nice graphics, but fraught with frame rate problems, and the usual FPS cliches of dimly lit metallic corridors. Gameplay feels very dated, almost like a re-hash of Quake 2. Multiplayer is also the same old story. Some people may view this as a good thing. On the plus side, a perfect port of Quake 2 is included as a bonus, but only the single player mode.… Expand
