A good free for all of carnage, yet something is missing. I know, a single player mission section. I've been a big fan of the Quake series and of course have enjoyed a little death match on the side as well. Yet what I truly liked the most was the missions you got to play through as the main part of the game.Quake 2 was one of best for that kind of play. It almost gave you a feel of playing a game similar to Rainbow Six or Rogue Spear. The loss of this from this game sort of saddens me. With that aside, this game is still very well done. With quite a few odd looking character skins as well as some very fun levels, this should keep you entertained for hours at a time. Though I don't find the controls quite as smooth as they are in Unreal Tournament, I still from time to time enjoy killing a few of my friends. In the game, not literally of course. Be warned though, the end boss is very difficult when the skill levels increase. He tends to rail you before you've even realized you've respawned. So beware, but have fun. For there's nothing like joining a game with some friends and blowing their foolish heads off. Kill away, my friends.
Rating: - Very good, a must have
Everyone should have Quake 3. Everyone.It's one of the best FPS ever made, and features some of the best mods out there too: Urban Terror, Bid For Power, just to name a few. The engine is world famous, and many great looking games have come from the Q3A engine (Medal of Honor:AA, Jedi Knight II, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, etc...) Graphics are just great, and this is THE multiplayer/LAN game. If you already own Half-life and Unreal Tournament, get this to round off your collection.
Rating: - One of the most heavily modified games around.
This game, along with being one of the greatest FPS death match games is also one of the most heavily modified games I have ever heard of. Not only is there about a billion new characters and such that have been made by various artists around the web but there are also dozens of total conversions, now if your not familiar with game modification let me explain it for you; People out there have great talent and abundant skill and make now characters for you to play as, and in most cases, play againts in bot matches. Now these people make anything from a giant snake creature to Zorak from Space Ghost: Ghost To Coast. Total conversions are completley new games that just use Quake 3 as a base to run off of. So basically you get this game and 20 others if you feel like downloading them. All mods (modifications) are free of charge, my personal fav is Bid For Power.This bundle also includes the Q3 team arena game witch is pretty fun with multiplayer. However, if you're looking for a really great bot match game then you would be better to get Unreal Tournament. The multiplayer for this game is one of the most heavily populated around and you would look forward to a very long and healthy life of online fraging with this game.
