Quake 4

"The game has that particular ‘something' that unquestionably makes it just a really fun game to play."

"The single-player is great fun, but the uninspired multiplayer leaves a lot to be desired."

"The classic franchise returns, and as usual, it's Quake's multiplayer that saves the day and will keep it on your hard drive for months to come."

"...while the SP production values are certainly expensive-looking and sounding, the actual combat mechanics feel a step behind the evolution of the genre, and not in an intentionally retro way. And it's difficult to pin down why it turned out that way, because Raven Software is known for having its finger on the shooter pulse. One can only speculate. Despite its shortcomings, Quake 4 is a genuinely fun game. It just won't keep you entertained for as long as you expect."

"Quake 4 is hampered by a few minor design flaws, mainly the enemy AI and some of the weapons, but overall the feel of the game is just right. Quake 4 should definitely be on your list for great FPS games that you need to own."
