    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.

    Keep in mind that QUAKE 4 for the PC laughs at most computers, but runs virtually without a hitch on the Xbox 360; a no-brainer when taking into account the price of admission for this level of PC-quality gaming.

    A beautiful run and gun shooter that ranks among the best in the genre.

    If you're new to the franchise, but have played other, more modern FPS's, you might want to skip (or just rent) the game, as it'll feel overly simplistic when compared to Halo 2's AI and vehicle combat, Red Faction's destructibility, Unreal's weaponry and FEAR's atmosphere.

    Globs of action, lots violence, and a story that's good enough to keep things moving. But it's obvious that it needed a little more time to cook, what with the annoying load times, a whacky auto save function, and a frame rate that isn't nearly as fast as the PC version of the game.
  6. My Gamer

    If you have a respectable gaming level PC, the frame-rate hiccups and certain bland textures may make the PC version more desirable.

    "Call of Duty 2" and "Perfect Dark Zero" are far better games in almost every way. Even "King Kong" supplies a better FPS single-player experience.

    While I havn't tried the multiplayer yet, I can still honestly say that this is one of the best FPS's I've ever played. While I havn't tried the multiplayer yet, I can still honestly say that this is one of the best FPS's I've ever played. Excellent controls, gameplay, and graphics, great level designs, and a genuinely dark, brooding environment. By far, the best shooter for 360 that I've played. Suck on it Halo!… Expand

The game gives you the ability to hold allGreat Campaign with an awesome story line, Quake 4 kept me interested from start to finish. The game gives you the ability to hold all weapons, and weapon availability is progressed as the story progresses. Still has all the classic Quake weapons we know and love. The online while non-existant for several years, was very very fast paced and competitive, however I could personally not play with anyone outside of my country due to lag issues making the game unplayable. My number one quarrel with Quake is the awful frame rate issues which seemed to plague some of the launch titles. At times the game can run as low as 10 frames however I'd the overall experience runs around 25, possibly less or slightly more. If this would bother you over enjoying everything else Quake has to offer, I'd give it a pass. Overall great game that is slightly hindered by terrible frame rate issues.… Expand

    A very good game okay its not going to win any awards but it a simple game that you can just throw on and let rip!! Graphically solid, soundA very good game okay its not going to win any awards but it a simple game that you can just throw on and let rip!! Graphically solid, sound is a little crap and A.I is a bit poor and once you finish it you won't want to go through it again!!! So if you like a shooter that is not going to push you but is enjoyable then buy this.… Expand

    If you play this game, don't think that all Quakes are like that. They're all excellent games, so don't take this one as a quake. Slow gameplay (although not as much as games like CoD), there's reload (it's horrible to reload in a fps arena)... and generally, there are some bad points. It's a very good game, for being a Xbox 360 one. I think that, since you can't be very fast on X360, it's good to have reload etc.. It's like it was made for consoles, so, this is good for consoles but (compared to other Quakes) bad for computers.
    Honestly, I would give it a 5.8 (good), but I give it, for Xbox, a 6.6, because the gameplay is fits very much it.    … Expand

Des séquences scriptées, du spectacle... pas du "grand" spectacle non plus mais l'excellente VF est appréciable.

    Pour un "Quake", le solo est pourtant l'un des meilleurs -si ce n'est le meilleur de la série ; ça reste malgré tout exigu assez souvent (comme dans... Doom 3). Je me souviens que c'est le premier jeu ou le second que j'ai fini sur Xbox 360. L'autre était COD 2 ! mais contrairement au COD dont l'adaptation console était remarquable, on ne pouvait en dire autant de Quake 4 : vilaines textures, saccades permanentes et longs temps de chargement sont au programme. C'était -et c'est donc- moyen.    … Expand

    Crap.
    Im just glad ive now sold my 360 to some complete idiot who was willing to pay £800 for this eggbox.
    and i cant belive that    Crap.
    Im just glad ive now sold my 360 to some complete idiot who was willing to pay £800 for this eggbox.
    and i cant belive that £49.99 is the asking price for these games.
    get real people compair these games to there PC versions and you will notice 2 things.
    1. the PC version looks better and is smoother
    2. considering that the games are better looking on the PC they are also more than £20 cheaper.
    so it has nothing to do with developing the games its all to do with microsoft selling you a cheap consol and charging you an extra £20 for there games just so they can get there money back. I was realy taken for a complete idiot when i got my 360. im just glad i got rid of it before it cost me anymore money.    … Expand
