WORDTHY: QUAKE 4

What is this? The Spotgamers team is feeling nostalgic and is reviewing an ancient game? Not really. We are here to show you a great game that did not really become a household name in terms of popularity. But for sheer game play fun and excitement, this FPS game deserves the mention and exposure it deserves. So here you go ladies and gentlemen, presenting the old, yet golden Quake 4!



Quake 4, in our opinion, is a top notch FPS game. If you have played it before, take a trip down memory lane with a few of your friends to a local cyber café and have lots of fun with this futuristic game. Blow your friends into pieces with the Railgun in the multiplayer mode, or blast them into smithereens with the Hyperblaster. If this is the 1st time you have heard about this game, head to a local game shop and grab a copy to find out what you have been missing out on.

We believe the graphics and detail for this game is simply magnificent. Notice the detail of your unit when it is being blown to pieces. Or check out the line of fire coming out from your artillery. And don’t forget to notice the movement of your unit as it dodges a stream of lightning speed bullets. Not bad for an ancient game.

The weapons are also pretty fun, especially with the mods you'll get over the course of the game. The single-barrel shotgun is quite powerful -- almost too powerful -- and you can zoom in with the assault rifle scope and squeeze off targeted rounds with semi-automatic fire.





This game is very much a single player game with some nice features, but we believe the multiplayer features are good enough to create hours of fun with your mates. As long as the map is geared towards that number of people, it can be just as much fun as 64-player mayhem. Watch your mates scream in horror as they see their units explode in front of their faces. At any rate, a couple of the maps stand out, particularly Xaero, which takes place in the middle of space and involves platforms and pillars you'll jump to, with nothing but stars below you.

So dear readers, this concludes our review of a favourite old game of ours, Quake 4! For those of you, who have any comments or opinions; feel free to get in touch with us. For the time being, happy shooting!
