its quite ok.
i love the stogs and the way they and their weapons look.

in most game campaignes you would have a nice intro, a few talks maybe and you'd only start shooting in like 5-10 mins. this game is different. the very moment i went into the campaigne, i was already fully equipped and blasting noobs.

The sprites were bad tho. like hl1 bad.

There's also a thing about the campaigne. when you shoot an enemy youd see a "you" killed "enemy" text, and you can see enemy and friends names on top of their heads just like in the mp... but its the campaigne! so i didn't quite like that.

Architecture. what can i say. amazing.

Gameplay... hm, well i quite like it despite the fact that in some missions you have to wait half an hour just to repel your enemys when they show almost no resistance... but i guess its because i play on easy lol.

achievements... there are achievements for easy normal and hard. making the player complete all the missions on all those difficultys to acquire them all. quit off or cleaver?

I wouldnt really recomend the game, but its quite ok.

Sound: 8/10 - excellent
Sprites: 4/10 - rubbish
Models: 9.5/10 - very close to perfect
Achitecture: 9.8/10 - perfect
Story: 3/10 - almost no story except for the intro. its just "shoot for fun"
Gameplay: 8.5/10 - i liked it... what i didnt like is the un-normal speed.
all players are very fast making it harder to shoot each other and making it look sTUUPid.

7.5/10 in total.

Run bitch Skals! Ruuun!
Commented 15 years ago2008-05-28 20:24:29 UTC Comment #54827
Skals, it's a multiplayer game. The SP element is exactly the same, with bots. Of course it has all the MP elements.

Everything about the game is optimised for online play, it's a teamplay, objective-based shooter. Did you think it was an SP adventure when you bought it? :x

Exactly what sprites are you talking about?
Also, it's stupid to buy Quake Wars as a singleplayer game, because it's so obvious that it's a multiplayer game. Online multiplayer.

Good for you:)
Commented 15 years ago2008-05-29 02:40:20 UTC Comment #54834
I've never seen a review with "Sprites" having a rating.

Also, fail for reviewing a game on the first day you get it.

who said that i bought it as a mp game -.-

and by sprites i meen all the explosions and stuff. their rubbish.
Commented 15 years ago2008-05-29 04:31:28 UTC Comment #54824
Point being made was a game isn't made or broken by its sprites. And it's 'Strog' btw.
Commented 15 years ago2008-05-29 04:39:30 UTC Comment #54828
It's 'Strogg' actually. OLOL.

"who said that i bought it as a mp game -.-"

That's all you can buy MP games as. TF2 isn't going to magically turn into an SP game if you want it to.

I hate you, Strider.
Commented 15 years ago2008-05-29 10:17:32 UTC Comment #54830
Ant: ;D

Skals: Quake II, IV and ET all have the Strogg. The majority of those screens are from Quake IV, the horrid game that it is.
Commented 15 years ago2008-05-29 10:25:25 UTC Comment #54843
so quake IV is terrible? anyways, if there are no strogg in quake III and quake 1, then what enemys are there?
Commented 15 years ago2008-05-29 10:32:31 UTC Comment #54831
Quake I is a whole range of different creatures, magical, human and.. zombies. It's set in four different realms interlinked by "Slipgates".

Quake III is a collection of randoms, it's a fast-paced multiplayer game like Unreal Tournament, but full of Quake/ID-type level and player design. You can play as Ranger (Quake 1 antagonist), the Quake II marine, and even play as the DOOM marine.

As for Quake IV..
I've played every single Quake game since I was a kid, I love the series. Quake IV is the only one I haven't enjoyed, it's far too dated (gameplay and design wise) for it's time, something the older games have an excuse for.
Commented 15 years ago2008-05-29 10:36:12 UTC Comment #54844
cool... ah so quake 4 isnt that good. oh well... adding on to that question, is the strog the only enemys in quake 4?
Commented 15 years ago2008-05-29 10:51:24 UTC Comment #54832
Yep.
Commented 15 years ago2008-05-29 11:50:32 UTC Comment #54845
and your telling me not to make short posts...
Commented 15 years ago2008-05-29 21:35:58 UTC Comment #54826
Quake IV is indeed terrible.

Answering a question isn't spam, Skals. Stop generalising my advice.
