    A great add-on for fans of the Quake series and multiplayer mayhem. This is a must have for the frag fanatic.

    A violent, violent game that targets reflexive ability more than cerebral. But it doesn’t presume to be anything but a frag-fest. In that regard it can’t be denied that this program does what it set out to do very well.

    A polished, tried and true gameplay experience, that, while not necessarily the most innovative, is a heck of a lot of fun.

    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.

    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.

    This should have been included with the original game, or as a free download a month or two after Q3A came out.

    Needs a lot more to justify the price.

    I really liked the game. It certainly does not have the best graphics, but for that year it was good.

    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 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.… Expand

It adds next to nothing to the already existing experience and essence of Q3 when it's standalone. Combined, it could have been fun and had a lot of potential, but sadly that didn't happen. This "game" is not good in its own right, as it basically is an expansion pack or a mod for Q3. That's why it's not going to have more than an 8.… Expand

Los modos añadidos si bien son algo decentes, terminan siendo repetitivos. Pero la queja mas grande de todas es la interfaz.... Posiblemente la peor interfaz en un videojuego alguno. El juego no te da un tutorial para navegar por el complejo menú principal y jugar los nuevos modos de juego! También le faltan añadidos como un modo campaña (que ya le faltaba al Quake 3 original) y algo mas para llamar la atención. A mi lo único que me llama la atención es la nota que tiene.… Expand
