Quake 4 Review

I have oficially bought a tested Quake 4. I don't have a top of the line system, but I tested it on these two:

AMD Athlon64 2800+

1.5GB DDR400

ATi Radeon 9600SE (375/245 OC)

This system is probably the bare minimum. I turned everything either off or low to run it 35FPs (with screen filled).

The other system I tested it on:

AMD Athlon64 3200+

2GB DDR400

nVidia GeForce FX6600 256MB

This system ran it surprisngly well. I had to turn off the high-quality textures, but it ran it overall medium.

For the gameplay itself, I'm hooked on the single-player storyline for this game. It picks up where Quake 2 left off, only your "unknown marine" is now part of Rhino Squad, in a final attempt to defeat the Strogg at their homeworld, Strogos.

The multiplayer is not the best thing I've seen in a while. The multiplayer was basically Quake3 Arena with better graphics and a different weapons selection.

Overall I rate this game a 7.5/10. The Storyline is great, and the graphics are amazing, provided you have a system equipped to run it. The multiplayer is lacking, but it's okay for some good-old-fashioned fragstyle LANs.
