Armchair Empire
A great add-on for fans of the Quake series and multiplayer mayhem. This is a must have for the frag fanatic.
Read Full Review >Gamezilla!
As an add-on pack, Team Arena rocks. It adds everything I wanted to see in "Quake III Arena," but wasn't actually there.
Read Full Review >GameZone
A violent, violent game that targets reflexive ability more than cerebral. But it doesnt presume to be anything but a frag-fest. In that regard it cant be denied that this program does what it set out to do very well.
Read Full Review >GameSpy
Quake 3: Team Arena, in a word, rocks. The quality associated with id Software shines through in this mission pack. It is definitely worth your money -- go and buy it. I'd write more here, but I need to go play more Team Arena. I wish I were joking.
Read Full Review >Gaming Age
A polished, tried and true gameplay experience, that, while not necessarily the most innovative, is a heck of a lot of fun.
Read Full Review >Da Gameboyz
In playtesting, I found that a number of new additions to the interface simply get in the way of gameplay.
ActionTrip
It is also the best CTF add-on pack out there, which means cash-spending time if you're a consumer looking to play the best games for a specific type of online gameplay that money can buy.
Read Full Review >IGN
It's a good expansion pack. Not great, but good. It expands the gameplay of Quake III to new heights.
Read Full Review >Game Revolution
A solid mission pack, adding a whole new team element. Team organization is something that is evolving in online multiplayer gaming, and it's nice to see Quake join the fray.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
Though its new features may not seem remarkable individually, when put together they comprise a number of interesting new strategies and also let experienced players organize team-based games based on those strategies.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
The graphics are great but come at a high cost, the new weapons and items are amusing but encourage random kills, and the maps are stunning but far too big for the number of people playing the game at the moment.
Read Full Review >Computer Games Magazine
What it was designed to do, it does very well. It barely makes a pretense of doing anything else, howeverextra bells and whistles are definitely not part of the package.
Read Full Review >TotalGames.net
To get the most out of this you will need to play it for quite a while, and those of you that do will no doubt find the extra features rewarding if you only dabble with the game this is not an essential addition.
Read Full Review >GamerWeb PC
This should have been included with the original game, or as a free download a month or two after Q3A came out.
Read Full Review >GamePower
Expands upon the original game by adding some much-needed variety and team-play action to the mix. The only problem is that, for an overly priced $30, gamers expect a bit more than a glorified mod that should have been in the game right from the get-go.
CNET Gamecenter
Despite its flaws, serious Quake III fans will want to snatch this up right away.
Adrenaline Vault
A decent expansion that is more notable for its graphical sheen, elegant interface and Classic CTF maps than something more innovative. Although fun with the right group of people, the expansion adds nothing to its genre.
Read Full Review >All Game Guide
While the power-ups are well done and Harvester and One Flag CTF are a lot of fun, this expansion pack will more than likely collect dust instead of frags.
Read Full Review >Daily Radar
While it's an improvement over the original, Team Arena is essentially a decent mod but it's nothing that can't be found for free.

The First real game MP in the world, with a lot of mods realised by a really nice community! I can propse u to try some mods like TrueCombat (Total conversion : realistic mods ) totally submersif ans addictive. TrueCombat have now a young brother : TC:Elite on Wolfestein ( using Q3 3D motor) but i prefer q3 original and Truecombat for the design and the player movement realist ..just try it and u ll be conquer.

I gave it an 8 because it really is a fast paced action shooter. I think I have an answer for Peter K. though. Compared to other games out at the time, like unreal 3, Quake 3 Arena was an improvement, only over it's other Quake games. And it was coming out around the time people were expecting improvements over gaming, Im sure. Unreal 3 especially had a much better look. Quake 3 Arena was more like the first Unreal Tournament. While, the graphics are dated, it has a lot of intersting character choices and arenas. I love playing the DoomGuy. Another downside though, I wish the taunts were more realistic to what they were. Like the DoomGuy had DOOm related taunts. Its at least better than playing the Dreamcast version. But graphically it has its ups and downs.

Sweet fast paced action. How did metacritic score this game so low beats me!
