    Cons: Expect to go against commandos when you play multiplayer...

    Summary: I got Quake 3 because a lot of members of the Windrivers commumity were on it, and I decided to join in. When I first got it installed on my PC, I spent a few days playing the single player mode. Sure, it was great to learn how to play, and ... read more

  • Could've been the best...

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 1, 2002
    Pros: Graphics, Music, Gameplay is simple, Controls
    Cons: Bots suck, levels aren't great

    Summary: OK , the plot is basically nothing... Quake 3 doesn't really need a descent plot anyway because noone really cares, you just want to get in there and shoot things. So the game is OK on this. You would think after the prequels Quake 1 & 2 ... read more

  • Quake Master

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 16, 2001
    Pros: TCP/IP allows you to play with Windows users in the Quake Arena.
    Cons: If your system is not fast enough, you will have to sacrifice graphic for performance.

    Summary: As a major gamer and "Quake Master," I often attend LAN parties at my college, UVM. It is not usually easy to play multiplayer games when you have a Linux box, but because Quake III is ported for Linux, once you have it in, you're good to go. Quake III ... read more

    Cons: Not great fun for single player.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

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

    Pros: very playable game
    Cons: Wasted evenings, knackered mice

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 30, 2001
    Pros: See review
    Cons: See review

    Summary: So it's the PS2's turn to get the world's best-known first-person shooter. But is this a Quake too far? Is there anyone left that hasn't played Quake III? After the PC original and the superlative Dreamcast port, it would seem that any ... read more

    Jun 30, 2001
    Pros: Nice graphics
    Cons: BORING, where's the beef?

    Summary: I'm a huge first person shooter fan and have played just about every one of them released since DOOM. I had great expectations for Quake III, but after spending a few hours with the game, it went up on eBay. What the heck were the designer's ... read more

    Jun 19, 2001
    Pros: Amazing graphics, great sound, smooth animations, not a system hog
    Cons: Little variety, low replay value

    Summary: If you are a dorm resident, or otherwise have access to a LAN, then the joy of the first-person shooter is probably nothing new to you. Getting a chance to blast you friends to kingdom come in what is, as of now, the closest virtual reality combat ... read more

    Jun 12, 2001
    Pros: Best graphics around, each bot has own personality, bots converse with you, good weapons
    Cons: Multiplayer requires a fast connection, BFG seriously degraded, no underwater lightning discharge

    Summary: Out of all the games I've ever played, Quake III is by far the most unique and interesting. It has the best graphics around (read the reviews; it has been proven) and has a few features completely new to the gaming world. To start things off, it's an ... read more
