I am an owner of both Doom 3 and Quake 4. I love the games that ID puts out because the quality of them never dissapoints me. I must say, however, I enjoy playing Doom 3 over Quake 4. I enjoy being surpised by enemies and being attacked by them while trapped in a corner. In Quake 4 the enemies A.I. is pretty lackluster. Only one enemy actually charges after me (and is very tough to kill!). Other than that you will find yourself shooting at enemies who just stand in one place or strafe to the left or right on occation. This makes them pretty easy to kill and not much of a challenge as they are in Doom. The game runs pretty good on my system. I have all setting's on high with 4x AA and achieve a constant frame rate of over 60 fps. In other games on these settings or lower I often get occational stuttering, however, in Quake 4 I get none at all. (X800 Pro, 1GB RAM, 3500+ AMD) I have yet to play online with this game, but plan on doing so soon. From other review's I have seen on other site's, they have said that online in this game is nothing great but I will just have to find that out for myself! I would recommend this game to any gamer looking for superb graphics and is a fan of FPS. If you havn't played Doom yet I would suggest trying it first before this game.Read full review
If I were to liken this game to a movie, it would be Aliens. Marines are called in to lay down some bullet-rock on some nasty xenos. That's the plot in a nutshell. Of course, there are subquests (for lack of a better word, since play is 100% linear), but the main story is still well executed. The bonus is that Quake4 has all of the things that kept Doom3 from being stellar. First, your flashlight is actually attached to your main gun. Duh. What a crazy technological advancement! No reason that this should not have been in the original Doom3. Second, everything is dim and shadowy, but mercifully *not* so dark. Doom3 was far too dark, especially without the gun-mounted flashlight. Remember - shadows of what you *think* you see are far scarier than complete darkness. Lastly, your enemies show up from believable places. In Doom3, every time you passed through a corridor, somehow a hidden compartment containing a zombie would show up and attack you from behind. Huh? What is that compartment doing there to begin with? And why would there be a person-turned-zombie in there? A silly attempt at scariness that turns out to be more like horror-schlock. Now, what was Quake4 lacking? Well, all I can think of is that it was a bit too linear and predictable. Minor quest. Minor quest. Major quest. Boss. Rinse and repeat. Not that this isn't fun... it's just a bit tedious at times. But that's about all. The graphics are stunning. The gameplay is fast and furious. It's FUN. And that's the most important thing. I haven't played multiplayer, so I can't comment on that aspect.Read full review
I love quake 4 along with the whole quake series. I would wait to but it though because quakewars is comming out this summer. When I bought my own computer I bought quake 4 from a seller on e-bay. I got the game fairly quickly and then found out that the CDs didn't work. After inspecting them I could see that the CD was warped slightly to indicate I was sold defective discs. The key code does work and that's all that really mattered because I could install quake 4 from other discs. SO, beware of getting defective discs and the seller blaming it on heat/cold during transport or someother lame excuse. I didn't complain because I had a solution.
I was thoroughly disappointed and disgusted with this game. After seeing the previews, I was extremely excited that this may be what I was hoping for with Doom 3. I was sorely disappointed. For starters, the game is dark, very dark when you are inside. This can be fun for a little while, but it is also very disorienting. There were many times I was getting shot at from many different directions, but because it was so dark I was never able to truly see what was shooting at me until my health was nearly down to nothing. Although there are many outdoor areas in the game, it seemed as though a lot of it occured indoors. There is nothing wrong with indoor levels, they just seemed so rehashed from Doom 3 that I was bored after the first few minutes. Fighting in tight corridors is fun for a while, but after that while is up, it just gets to be too much. Graphically, this game is pretty good. Since it is based on the Doom 3 engine there are many similarities, but graphically wise that is a good thing. The lighting effects are superb. If you get this game and you have a top notch video card, crank up the resolution and enjoy! The multiplayer is rehased Quake 3: Arena. Not a lot of complaints, but they could have come up with more modes and more originality. Also, if you don't have a top notch video card, it can get a little bit choppy. Overall, I was extremely disappointed in this game, stay away unless you absolutely need to play the Quake series.Read full review
I liked that the price was cheap enough was looking for a good 3d shooter was outbid on the games I wanted and settled for this one. It is an older game and my computer is older and looking at the system requirements thought that it might barely make it. Well it didnt run because I never installed the drivers for my card as I had to transfer my parts to another computer because the one I was useing finally died on me from damage from a rain storm, had to reactivate windows XP. Oky so I decided to install the drivers from the CD that came from the card and got that warning not to install them so I ignored it installed the drivers and what do you know! the game worked! only the game play was sluggish like playing in water my movement was to slow tried everything including installing the files for the monitor improved a little, think maybe I need updated drivers from MSI only there are none. So anyway been playing the game the way it is and what I mostly do is let my men in the game take the worst of it whereever I can in the game. Stop playing actually and have been playing a really old strategy game, gotta have a good 3d shooter and strategy game. been playing Star Craft if anyone remembers that? bought it second hand at the thrift store hehheh! My power supply gets hot when I play it. I really do need to get a newer computer.Read full review
