THE GOOD:Better than Quake, and Quake 3. COMBINED! OpenGL, Glide, PowerVR Extreme, you want it you got it. 32-24-16 bit color. Too many mods! Awesome multiplayer!!!
THE BAD:
Bad, that word is not in Quake II's vocabulary. Unless you're playing the single player game...
SUMMARY:
I BOUGHT MY NEW COMPUTER BACK IN THE DAY FOR THIS GAME!!! It was a 200 mhz Pentium MMX, 32 edo ram, with a PowerVR PCX2.
Now since we're in the Gigahertz age, Quake II runs more beautiful and faster than ever with Voodoo 5 and GeForce 2 Ultra, and TNT2, and so on...
Buy this game if you don't own it. In fact, I bought this game before I owned my P-200. I had a 486/66 dx2 at the time. Now with my 500, 128 sdram, and Banshee I'm cooking it up multiplayer.
The weapons are landmark, especially the BFG. If you've never played this one, don't try it, just buy it. If you did play this, ask yourself why you don't own it already.
Rail people in mid-air. Rocket Jump into the air. Grenade-Rocket Jump into the Heavens. BFG jump into space. Jump a suicidal dive and crater. Gib in ways never thought possible. Circle-strafe around your opponent while he wonders why he is being ripped into shreds. Humiliate enemies by killing them with your blaster, as they try to hit you with their rockets. All these memorable moments all included with Quake II. Skills not included.
