From the first day that I heard about Quake 4, I figured "Man I gotta have this!!". Then what was coming next was a HUGE suprise about Quake 4, and that is that ID games created this in favor of Quake II, and if you guys are familiar with Quake II then you must be familiar with the stroggos. Don't get me wrong alien freaks that mutilate humans to make them into they're kind are pretty cool. But the linearness of the game is what made me saddened, That and the fact that the multiplayer was nothing compared to the good old Quake III days(and team arena). Basically you run from captain to captain getting missions, In a small tunnel based type play. So if you are looking for freeroaming and adventure this isn't for you.the fast paced gameplay and weapons are O.K, but that's all I am giving this as it could have been created wayyyy better than it was. The only times that the game really heats up is the vehicle missions, where you either get to commendeer a vessel or mount up on the back and blast the alien freakazoids running at you in heards.All-in-all this game was something that could have been extremely better in many aspects.Like I stated earlier about freeroaming, they could have made the game more epic in a sense and could have at least expanded on the weapons system, but no! they moved backwards to the Quake II days. we're trying to move forward in technology and creativity, not backwards!
