I know that people complained about Prey being too short, but I think Quake 4 is too long. With all of this said, Quake 4 is still lacking. Quake 4 doesn't even try to be scary, so as a result they do a better job of re-using the same 'ol Stroggs. There aren't enough different enemies to keep that atmosphere.
After you've killed 20 of them, they aren't any longer. Yes, an Imp is scary the first time you see one. I've posted this a million times, but Doom 3's second biggest issue was it's total lack of scariness after the first 3 levels. I completed Doom 3, but honestly I only did it to see what the weapons were like and to see if the Hell levels were any better. To me Doom 3 was slow, repetitive, dark, and just not that much fun. I actually do agree that it's what *I* thought Doom 3 should've been. I wish more people would pick this game up. If you sort of liked Doom3 but couldn't get past its shortcomings you will probably like this game a lot more.Īlso, the single player demo that is available online lets you play the first and weakest level in the game. If you didn't enjoy Doom3 at all then you might not like this game. You also play a lot of the game with a squad and so it doesn't feel like you are playing alone.Īnyway that is my spiel. There are some really memorable weapons here too. The basic gameplay mechanics are the same, but the visual style, premise, and execution are very different. I think a lot of people dismissed it because they played Doom3 and saw a few screen shots and figured this was a repeat. I don't know why this game slipped past me. With the 8800GTX at 1680 x 1050 I can run most of the game with 16xQ antialiasing, but later in the game I dropped it down to normal 16x aa because the action was getting a little thick and the environments a little more complex. The graphics are really good, too, and it runs well because it is mostly in-doors. There are even some really cool vehicle sequences that are actually fun.Īt one point I was almost laughing outloud at all the little audio details and chatter they included to make a friendly mothership come alive. There is some epic sci-fi stuff going on here. You go through some pretty outlandish environments and there is a lot of variety. Unlike Doom3 which was basically one dark corridor after another, Quake 4 is well lit and the environments are really nice looking. It isn't as sophisticated as Half-Life 2 but it almost has that sort of polish.
Stuff is going on around you-you are only a part of the action. The developers actually did a good job at making it seem like there is a large scale invasion going on. So the whole game takes place in the middle of this huge raging battle. In Quake 4 earth is invading the Strogg homeworld and counterattacking. It actually has a plot and it is a cool one at that. Quake 4 is the game Doom3 should have been.

The following pertains to the PC version, single player campaign:Īfter picking up Quake 4 for $20 the other day and playing through most of it for the first time, I figured I would post a short review because it seems a lot of people skipped this game.
