Quake 3: Arena for Windows

Pros: Good engine.
Cons: Just not as good as UT in every other respect.

Well, you've waited for it, demo'ed it until the cows came home, and now it's here. Aren't you lucky? (Unless, you happen to be part of the majority of college campuses that haven't let out for the Winter Break yet.) Quake III Arena. Written not only for...

Pros: Excellent Graphics, Sound, and Replay Value!
Cons: Confusing Controls

I have been playing Quake 3 for six months now so I have an obligation to tell you about it.

Plot

You have just been dumped into the arena eternal! There is no way out, or is there? So you try to fight your way out. As you...

Pros: Excellent Graphics, Nearly flawless multiplayer games, Great Gameplay
Cons: Limited modes, Not sophisticated enough, Hardly any human players, Sad Maps

Single Player - Relatively crappy

Quake III, developed by the Texas-based ID Software, is quite different from it's prequels as far as the focus goes.. Quake II focussed equally on the single player game a well as the multiplayer. Quake III...

Pros: Fantastic options, sound, graphics, multiplayer, single player, charcters, and weapons.
Cons: A very violent game that shouldn't be played by younger audiences.

Many people have been asking me, “Hey Eric! You are the coolest kid in the world! In fact, I think I want to make out with you. When are you going to write another epinion?” Although this never happened, I have been asking myself when I would write...

Pros: frustrating
Cons: frustrating

Last year I played Quake II for the first time and I liked it very much. Although it scared me a little bit at the beginning with all the noises as if they were coming from the scariest horror movie ever... Anyway, I wanted to see what the guys from ID...

Pros: Fantasitic engine. Fast and fun.
Cons: Bot AI. Single player game.

This is certianly not a bad game. If you have a network, ot play a lot online - buy this game. Otherwise, it difficult to recommend apart from its great graphics.

Sadly, the tips section has become "retired". Instead, I shall share some tips...

Pros: The best multiplayer experience arround....Bar-none!
Cons: When you first start out you get killed....ALOT!

Well here it is. After long hours of testing, late nights of little sleep, and many cups of high-test coffee. I am ready to write my review of quake 3 arena. Now we are not talking about an ordinary game here, were talking about Quake 3 arena. The one...

Pros: Ultimate 3D Multiplayer Experience, Best Graphics Ever, Mods
Cons: Hefty System/Multiplayer Requirements, Sucks in Single Player

This opinion is an update. It uses a rating system that I have decided to institute (at the bottom).

Before we begin, let's get one thing straight: This is simply NOT a single player game. You will get minimal enjoyment at best from...

Pros: Yes ID even put DOOM in this game!!
Cons: getting splatted on every side of the hallway

My god this games is soooo tight!! I couldnt believe it the first time I fragged someone!! Then I found out you can shoot them again to splatter there carcass on the walls! I'm sorry but it just does not get any better. Sure there are no more demons...

Pros: GREAT GRAPHICS! and sound!
Cons: bad weapons

Wow, finally they come out with quake 3, althought not what I expected it is GREAT. Alsome graphics I would like to see any game top them and much better sound then quake 2 even thought quake 2 is my favorite of the 3 this one is more packed with media...

Pros: Many characters to choose, stages, weapons.
Cons: Not great fun for single player.

I've been playing Quake for quite some time, especially the 1st.
I really didn't expect much from the 3rd, after playing for very little time the 2nd - I didn't like the fact that it couldn't be played by lan, only online - so I was afraid that the...

Pros: Great graphics and sound, fun to play
Cons: not many gameplay modes

I purchased Quake 3 Arena about a week ago, and have been playing non-stop ever since. Almost every aspect of the game is great and there are few, if any, major flaws. The graphics are unlike any other game I have ever seen with beautifully detailed...

Pros: great gameplay, high resolution graphics, advanced multiplayer modes
Cons: newbies are having a hard time playing Multiplayer on the net

This one really rocks! After playing those old Doom/Duke Nukem-Games this one really freaked me out.

First I was afraid that my graphic accelerator wouldn't have enough power - but I was wrong. It seems like Quake III is running 100...

Pros: Great graphics
Cons: Repetitive gameplay, no variety, excessive gore, multiplayer is no go with a 56k.

The game has great graphics, the gameplay is OK, but the game gets stale after a while. It's always the same. Run around, look for something alive, aim at it, account for its movement, fire, cross your fingers, dodge their fire, etc. The maps do not...

Pros: good game play
Cons: unreal's bots are better

I like mostly FPS games. And this one is not one of my personal favorites. The graphics were excellent, even though id was not focusing the game on good graphics. I have a P2-450 system with a voodoo banshee 16mb and 128mb of PC-100 SDRAM, and Q3A looks...
