Summary: its fun, but not THAT fun
Review: this is a fun game, with beautiful graphics, but unreal tournament is simply a better game. i was playing quake from the start too, its sad to see this one lose to UT. we'll see how they fare up in q4 vs. UT2

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Quake3? UT
Review: This is just a souped up Quake1. I for one don't know how ID makes a living selling the same game so many times. It has cool graphics, but the gameplay is very subpar. Compared to it's competitor, Unreal Tournament, Quake3 is miles behind. I was looking forward to q3 since q2, but when I finally got the first "test" I was very disappointed. I heard of Unreal Tournament and downloaded the demo, and now I am addicted. If it's demo with only 6 levels can get me so hooked, imagine what... well you get the idea. Unreal Tournament CLEARLY outdoes Quake3.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is the greatest game!!! Why? Quake3 arena differs from quake and quake2 is that there is no single player... I always found the single player parts of these games boring. I never beat the game with out cheating because I hated running out of ammo or having to face the same dude over and over again. Quake3 arena is all multiplayer, and the expansion pack is moving even farther into the multiplayer field. It is addictive (I know 10 college students that were kicked out because of it) some people do not like the maps or the boring death match stuff that came in the box with quake. Quake is better than unreal tournament for many reasons. in quake you have a wide variety of guys to choose from, if you don't like what is there you can make your own. THE GAME PLAY IS INTENCE. The number one reason why quake is better than UT is because ID software released the source code for the game. When they did this, it allowed anybody that wanted to change the game and make MODS, MODs are modifications to the game like.... Instagib. Rocket Arena 3. Weapons Factory Arena. And many many more.. If you get board then play a different mod, it is like playing a hole different game.

GIB YOU LATER

Summary: Quake3 gameplay
Review: Unfortunately, as Quake3 has probably only just been released in the UK, I haven't had the chance to play the full game yet. however, I have downloaded the 50MB demotest, and I have been a Quake fan ever since the original was released. To people who have yet to experience Quake, I can inform you that this is NOT a sneak-em-up or first-person type strategy affair. This is pure, simple, fast-paced action. You'll probably only like this game if you either enjoy the best graphics the gaming world has seen or very, very fast action.

And there is no doubt that this game is by far the fastest of the Quake trilogy. Quake I was fast, QII slower, but with better graphics and more strategy involved. This game combines the two and inproves on both multi-player wise. However, it is important that you know that this is mainly a multiplayer game. The whole single-player experience is based around simulating an on-line environment, but since you're reading this, you probably already take part in the on-line gaming scene. If not, this is arguably the best game to start off on.

One more thing: Everything in QIII: Arena is action-oriented. To be honest, you'll have little time to stand around admiring the incredible graphics. When I play, I rarely release the fire button, and on some levels rarely even touch the ground.

If you liked the matrix, and enjoy multiplayer gaming, buy this. It beats Unreal Tournament hands-down, and it can't be beaten action-wise. In my opinion, this is the best game ever..... and I've only got the demo test!
