i bought Quake 3 yesterday
and rented 4x4 evo, 4x4 evo doesn\'t even deserve a first impression so this is all i have to say about it:
Dont buy it!, this game is horrible and is probably only for the most hardcore 4x4 enthusiast, i only payed it for 20 minutes, and i hated it i give it a 3 out of 10
Now to Quake 3:
Graphics: 9-10
now i have only played the original Quake, and never played arena on th PC, but i must say this game has some kick ass graphics, the levels are specificaly made for the PS2 and look complex and very detailed, to put it another way..beautiful, i havent seen one jaggie since i started playing this game. The character models are very detailed and are just as beautiful as the level they run about in, they are barely blocky but you can\'t notice and it wont bother you when your blowing thier corpses up mwaha
.
Gameplay: 8-10
the single player so far is really good, you get to pick 1 of 4 people to start out with, Doom, an alien, sarge, a cyber guy, and some chick, each with different attributes, then as you progress thrue the game you character becomes stronger and gains attributes, you win awards by how good you play during the level, it keeps it interesting by throwing different levels objectives at you, deathmatch, capture the flag, possetion, elimination, etc. after about 5 or 6 levels, it chalks up what attribues you worked on and you character appeareance changes from a slave to a free man, Doom for instance look like the guy from the game doom as a slave, but when he becomes a free man, the glass on his helmet turns form grey to a blood red, and his armor gets darker, blood soaked on it, they look pretty awesome, in absense of the on-line play, they give us multi player, this feature suites me just fine, you can pick from 30 people, yep 30 but you have to get them as you go along, i have yet to see horny i mind you
"were the hell is he?", and there are about 6-8 or more "i cant remember off hand" different modes of play. so this game keeps you very entertained. the game also playes at a rock hard 60fps even with 4 people.
Controls 7-10
now this is what got me, why they didnt include keyboard & mouse compatability?we will never know but the controls are fine after you play for about the first 1/2 an hour, they are really awkward at first, is has time splitters controls, you shoot with x, you jump ith triangle switch guns with sqaure, cnt rememebr what circle does, straff left and right with L1 & R1, crouch with L2, and snipe with R2, they arent all that bad but man they should have made K & M compatability.
cons:
not many at all, this game is perect exept for 1 little tiny detail... the load times, if you are a patient men, then you will not have problems, but if you r a hurry up you sh*t type person, there is gonna be some static. and the not so great controls, they could have added K & M compatability but they didnt so that just makes the controls worse
final word 8-10
this game is so awesome, it eats UT and TS up for dinner, poopes them out ad ask for more, some people say "if it doesnt have on-line play then it blows" but with the multi player and all the modes to choose from, you wont even notice the difference, this game is a must buy for the FPS fanatic, especially if you like games like UT & TS
there ya go.
