  A breath of fresh air as compared to modern shooters

  By wipz1nakn | Review Date: Jul 21, 2021 | PC

  Very old game, but still a classic masterpiece. The engine and overall gameplay still feels way better than most FPS games today. A breath of fresh air as compared to modern hero shooter, wall running, lootboxes and pay ... Read Full Review

  Simply the best and most competitive multiplayer game out there.. and it's free!

  By mo0trix | Review Date: Feb 18, 2011 | PC

  This is almost a direct port of Quake 3 Arena. It downloads maps as and when needed and there is ALWAYS games going on to play. The training is a little bit brief for anyone who hasn't played this or any quake game ... Read Full Review

  Decent port, but has some flaws. Plays like Quake 3, but missing the gore, blood, and trash talk from Arena fun times

  If you haven't played quake 3 at some point in your life, you missed out on many hours of pure fps fun. Nothing more satisfying than blasting your competitors to pieces and seeing the ground covered in the blood and lim... Read Full Review

  This game is fun, addicting, and much like Quake III. Fast paced and action packed.

  By SYNK109 | Review Date: Jul 01, 2010 | PC

  Quake Live is like Quake III but free, with some different maps, and out of your browser. It has a lot of players and room now. You can chose your character out of about 50 different looks and customize other things, lik... Read Full Review

  By xkpe | Review Date: Sep 03, 2009 | PC

  If you ever played Quake III this is a renewed version of an old great game. You have the same characters and play style. And guess what you play it right from your browser completely for free with thousands of other... Read Full Review

  Quake Live is the best in the Quake 1-4 Series.

  By GenoXV | Review Date: Aug 18, 2009 | PC

  I tested out Quake Live last night and I have got to say it, is the best Quake 3 remake I have seen. I would much rather play QL than Q4. I would rather play QLive than Quake 3. The skins and textures are re-vamped. T... Read Full Review

  Quake Live revives classical deathmatch game play, makes it better and offers it for free.

  By Castaa | Review Date: Apr 05, 2009 | PC

  Positives I've been playing deathmatch first-person shooter games going back to the original Doom until about the first Call of Duty game. The problem with Quake 3 was that the skill level between players made the exper... Read Full Review
