Quake II User Review

Although it's a lot like Doom, except with a different name, Quake II is still an awesome game.

Difficulty:
Hard
Time Spent:
40 to 100 Hours
The Bottom Line:
"Highly addictive"
Quake II... is awesome. Still fun after 10 years since it came out. Just moving through room after room, killing stuff. But it becomea so engaging once you start playing it. The only thing that is disappointing is the ending. Who wants to work hard throughout the entire game, and then come to 'THE END' in huge letters? I guess that's what you get when there's no storyline...but everything in between is awesome.
I think it's the best in the series, although the graphics and pixels are so outdated.
It seems so simple and primitive now because a lot of games have been built off it, ex. Half Life 2. And I think the beginning of First-Person Shooters came alive when Quake II came out.
There's so much to talk about pertaining to Quake II, I can't think of where to start, so I'll just stop here...maybe I'll continue later...

  2. Quake 2 has a better focus and makes better use of idTech 2 than its predecessor, but it has issues of its own.

  1. With Quake 4's editor, I made a handful of maps that would later compile into a "Quake 2 for 4" mod. The level layout and texturing was purposely aweful so to remind you of the aweful graphics from the good old days.
