![]() Regardless of what you feel as you shoot the next dumb enemy you really get the sense you are one man in a full-scale conflict.Īnd finally, the absolute best criticism I can say about the whole game is that you feel compelled to play straight through to the end. The sense of war in Quake 4 is also one of its best features. As far as Quake 4 is concerned graphically it is one of the best-looking games on the PC. I managed the whole game in High settings and a resolution of 1024x768. The graphics truly are amazing and as mentioned earlier you don’t need a high-end PC to get the better of them. He provides the voice for the only noteworthy character in the whole game: Strauss. Mainstream cinemagoers will know him as Satan from Constantine, while the rest of us remember him as the blonde psychopath in Fargo (or the nutty Russian in Armageddon). So why have I given the game a five out of ten and not lower? Well, let’s examine what there is in Quake 4 worth talking about. ![]() There is no use key, no squad control, there are no physics beyond the odd box that tumbles over, no story to stand on, no character development (except for the one attempt mid-way – but even that is ripped straight out of HALO) and ultimately no sense of fun. This is first-person shooter of the most basic nature. In what could have been a unique touch – and what could have allowed Raven to truly develop the Strogg as a race – we instead have nothing to show for it. You never run into cutscenes where two Strogg are talking, or happen upon documents pertaining to the Strogg’s past. As soon as you step from the tank you were suspended in you realise you can move a little faster, your heart and shield rate has been extended and – most interesting of all – you can now fully understand the Strogg.īut the idea is never taken anywhere at all. Kane is rescued before his is activated, meaning he now has the best of both worlds.Įxcept, well, he doesn’t. As fate – or bad writing – would have it, you aren’t really a Strogg until a chip is turned on inside your head. Not even the widely talked about Stroggification.Ībout a third of the way through the game Kane is captured by the Strogg and turned into one of them. There is not a single aspect of this game that goes against the grain. Kane, go here and do this! Kane, go there and do that! And all this and that ever amounts to is turn this on or turn that off. ![]() Because you’re a lowly grunt you constantly have orders barked at you from above. This is the exact same structure throughout the game. It’s practically a kick in the nuts the twentieth time, however. It’s a slap in the face of the player the first couple times it happens. The player then has to backtrack through the level to a door that was previously locked, do the deed, and then work their way all the way back again. You see, there are countless times when an objective is reached but needs re-powering or a switch elsewhere needs to be flicked on. Raven’s decision to have the player re-visit levels is both annoying and boring, and its inclusion serves little more than to make me think it did it to add length to the game.
