Product description
Product Description
Returning at last to the video game arena, developers id Software creators of classics such as Wolfenstein and Doom have announced the latest in the Quake series of first person shoot 'em-ups.
The game is being developed by Raven Software, makers of X-Men Legends, Star Wars: Jedi Academy, Soldier of Fortune and Star Trek: Elite.;Quake IV will mark a return to id Software's trademark single player gameplay experience set in the Quake II universe, one of the best selling franchises in PC gaming history. Quake IV will use id Software's advanced new Doom game engine, which will ensure it is one of the most graphical advanced video games ever made.
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Quake series has always been a schizophrenic one, with the odd numbered games being primarily multiplayer affairs and the even numbered ones being focused on single player with very little connection between the two. As maths fans will have already realised that means that Quake 4 picks up from the ending of Quake II and once again chronicles the battle between humanity and the alien Strogg.
Although it is not developed by Id Software themselves, but by Soldier of Fortune creators Raven Software, Quake 4 does use the Doom 3 graphics engine. In fact if theres one early criticism of the game it is that it looks altogether too much like Doom 3, with very similar art design and darkened levels - and little of the orange hues and angular architecture of Quake II.
In gameplay terms an early plot twist has you being captured by the Strogg and assimilated as one of their nasty looking cyborgs. The process is interrupted just before the end though, allowing you to retain your human mind (phew!) and yet also make use of various new superpowers, which, along with your weapons, can also be upgraded as the game goes on.
With some pilotable weapons, including a nifty looking mech, this looks set to be an explosive, if unoriginal, first person shoot em-up. The nature of the multiplayer mode has yet to be revealed but fans will certainly be interested in the multiplayer only spin-off Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, which if anything looks even better than this. -- Harrison Dent

Haven't played the multiplayer yet, but if gameplay is like F.E.A.R. with the Power-Ups of QuakeLive then it must be amazing.
Oh, one final thing - why 4* overall? Well, the single player can get slightly tedious. I say this because there are some instances, when in the hovercraft for example, where you think its going to end and it just continues. You have to keep on persevering, that's all, as it just feels a bit asphyxiating when you control the vehicles. Apart from, that, it's amazing - you get to fight good bosses, and the sewer map with the acid-puking zombies is absolutely fantastic!
Only drawback was that it wouldn't play on my PC which is only 1 year old. I had to go on to the internet to find help on getting it to work with Windows 7. Once that was sorted, the game loads without a problem.
