talk to me a few years ago, i would have given it 5 stars, quake did for fps what final fantasy did for rpgs. Quake has good graphics for when it was made and it is ok in single player mode. Quake is really great over the internet though (if you can deal with the net lag) Quake capture the flag has to be one of the most addicting games on the net. This game is good to pick up also because it isnt that expensive. If you want a more current fps go for quake III arena, red faction, or unreal tournament.

Good old Quake....

I really miss games like this. This game may seem to have nothing to do with the Quake or Doom series as far as story, but think again. Look in the game booklet and there should be a background on the story. But anyway, this game really impressed me. I loved it. I've had it for many, many years, and it was the very next game I got after Doom I & II. They still sell those two games, along with Final Doom, which I intend to buy eventually. But as for this game, I actually prefer these graphics to those of today's over-realistic games. There's many strange enemies to fight in this game, none of which reappear in the later Quake or Doom games. I wish there was some kind of expansion for this game like there was for Quake II (The Reckoning and Ground Zero). I've pretty much mastered this game, and found every secret, and learned how to easily kill each monster I run across, and basically I just play this game for fun now. This game is a true classic, along with Doom I - 2, Quake II, even Quake III. Games like this surpass the new ones recently made. Doom III and Quake IV are both so real, they don't even run properly without a million dollar computer. No, actually Doom III works fine, but Quake IV is the one with the problem on my computers. I have five computers, and it won't work on any of them. No matter what setting I choose, it just won't work. But I recommend this game to anyone who longs for the good old days of truly original games like this, when there wasn't such a thing as a stereotype as everything is nowadays, and make sure you get Doom I & II, Doom 64, Quake II, and Quake III to get all the best first person shooters of all time.
