QUAKE 4 is an EARTHQUAKE youll DIE FOR.
Ok ! The Game looks a lot like Doom 3 (Not That i m complaining ) , But Still it manages to deliver some of the most exciting gameplay in an FPS and offers high degree of Fun which You r looking for.
STORY - In Quake 4 , you assume the role of Mathew Kane , who has been assigned the task to clear the planet of the Stroggs, However a crash takes place and The team is scattered on a war torn Planet. Now Kane has to fight his way and find his team. Matters become worse when Kane is captured by the Stroggs and is transformed into one of them (The Transformation is the Highlight of the Game).However he is saved by his team. The rest of the Story is predictable. Quake 4 doesnt have a very gripping storyline but it manages to keep the tension alive.
GAMEPLAY - Gameplay in Quake 4 is what we call as Run - and - Kill shooter. However the A.I of the Strogg's is pretty good. They actually Dodge the Bullets.There are a Number of Monsters with different abilities , therefore making it more difficult for you to switch between weapons.
Oh and talking of weapons the game has a wide variety of them which makes the game all the more exciting. All weapons have different damage and therefore has to be used in a tactical manner while fighting your enemies. The game looks intense in every way possible . To help you in your Mission you will be helped by your Squad which makes the game look like Call of Duty ( of the Future).The game also features vehicles which can be fun at times. The Game is Tough at times , but i lovez it that way.
GRAPHICS - One of the best Graphics you'll ever come across. Quake 4 uses the same engine as Doom 3, However the textures are very much real.Althought the environments werent repetative it gave you the same feel over and over again throughout.
SOUND - The sound in Quake 4 is as good as it gets. Each and every theme suits the situation so well making the battles all the more tense.
However the Sound also feels that its borrowed from Doom 3. Its almost the same.The sound of the weapons gives you a realistic feel.
The voice acting is pretty good though nothing to boast about .
To Conclude , Quake 4 is recommended to all people who love fast- paced action and dont bother how good or bad the story is.
Its challenging and one of the best in its genre.This game is not as big as Doom 3 (the only part which is different from Doom 3 :) ), and offers around 10-12 hours of blasting and killing.
THE GOOD - Challenging , Cool Weapons, Excellent Visuals and Sound.
THE BAD - Short , Fully Borrowed from Doom 3 , Not an engaging Storyline.
This game is a good FPS, But it gives you the feel of playing Doom 3 all over again.
All in all a good game which doesnt dissapoint.
SO GET READY ! AND LOCK AND LOAD BABY !
