Quake 2

Summary: Creepy eerie action packed fun
Review: IF you have a very powerful computer (for specs see a more nerdlike review) then this game is well worth the time. Don't miss any of the secret levels - you can find out how to get to them via QuakeWorld or the Strategy guide. Either way, it's very exciting bloody fun.

Summary: The door for multiplayer worlds
Review: Ive owned this game for many years and still play it everyday. The single player action is a bore, but the multiplayer is like being addicted to coke. Now I play many multiplayer games in appreciation. I also recomend Unreal Tournament and Half-Life.

Summary: Coolest game EVER!!!!!!!!
Review: Ive played this game and at first I was dissapointed but it got MUCH better.The graphics are fair the enemies are a challenge yet defeatable.I thought it was funny to blow someone up with the roket launcher with the quad damage(try it). I do NOT recommend Quake 2 for N64 seeing on how it has ONLY 5 levels. I highly recommend this game.

Summary: Quake 1 was much better
Review: quake 1 was much better, all this one has is improved graphics, other than that I think it stinks, quake 1 was more fun to play, this one was a dissapointment for me.

Summary: An amazing sequel to a legendary first person shooter....
Review: Quake 2 is an awesome game. The levels and enemies and game play and sp + mp modes are well designed, and mp mode has a nice feel, unlike Q3, or UT. This game also features great graphics if you have a card like the 3DFX Voodoo or 3DFX Voodoo 2. OpenGL looks awesome. This game is good. It is even better than the old quake. It is true 3-D fps. On my system, I played this on a 64mb system, with a Pentium Pro processor overclocked to 233mhz, with 3DFX Voodoo 2 8mb video memory with Windows 98. Wow, the game is awesome. With 16-bit audio integrated, too. This game rocks. The zombies are cool, the graphics are great, the sound is alright. The only game that truly holds a classic legendary candle to Quake 2 is Unreal. Quake 2...

Summary: Great, but impossible to fix technical problem
Review: Quake 2 is definitely an upgrade from the original Quake.
The plot thickens, the storyline is immersive, the graphics are a lot better. If you don't already own this title and you want to experience the glory of the Quake title, I highly recommend this title to you.

Summary: Still the standard-bearer of the gaming realm
Review: Quake 2 is much more than a game; it's a gaming phenomenon. This game set the standards and provided the very engine of hordes of first-person shooters (as well as less kill-or-be-killed oriented games) that followed in its wake. It took online gaming to new heights with its plethora of multiplayer options. Gamers the world over designed their own maps and created their own online worlds in which to raise havoc against the Strogg hordes as well as their best buddies. Some seven years after its release (in 1997), Quake 2 is still more than capable of brazenly stealing one's entire day, weekend, week, and beyond. Quake was great fun, mind you, but there you were on defense, trying to defend your planet against these mechanistic aliens who decided that humans would make great raw material for new cyborgs (although some lucky individuals would of course find their ultimate fate in the form of exotic ingredients for certain Strogg gourmet delicacies). In Quake 2, you take the fight to the Stroggs, by gum; you smear their guts across their own walls; you add a little chaos to the uglified place they call a home planet, and you make those soldiers pay for having dared attack Earth; before you're done you bring Makron himself, the biggest and baddest Strogg of them all, to his knees before terminating him with extreme prejudice.

Those Strogg are wily, though. Oh, we all thought it was a good idea to secretly follow the brutes back to Stroggos through their black hole-generated gateway; they'll never see us coming, we said, and we'll be on them like white on rice before they even have time to blink a bio-mechanical eye. We were wrong. The Stroggs took out a majority of our pods before the invasion even got started, but you made it to the planet's surface - albeit way off target. You'll have a little help from HQ in terms of your missions, but it's pretty much up to you alone to somehow infiltrate and destroy the enemy. You'll see stuff here you never saw in Quake - new monsters, much smarter enemies (the Stroggs actually learned how to duck), more puzzles (albeit of the find button and push it variety), and - best of all - more carnage. When you get one of these guys down, you'd better make sure he's dead; a guy with no legs can still shoot a gun.

Some of these infernal puzzles can be frustrating at times, but just about any player can play this entire game in single-player mode and come out victorious (given enough time and saved games); then, once you start thinking you're all big and bad, you can play at a higher difficulty level. You'd better be good before challenging your friends to some multi-player mayhem; when you're ready to go online, though, you'll find countless multi-player options at your disposal. The world's pretty much your oyster when it comes to multi-player options, ensuring that Quake 2 will be played and played some more for a long time to come.

Summary: Thats what I call a good FPS
Review: Quake 2 was one of my first PC games and I loved it, even after all these years I still play it...A little..

The games plot is alright in some specks...I really didn't care for the story to be honest with you but The graphics on this game were great for the year it came out.

The game play was just OFF THE HOOK. The game plays like doom but BETTER. The enemy A.I was good too....Not the best but good.
The Best part of the game is of course...THE GUNS!!!!!! The Guns just plain Kick a$$...

Also the game is fairl long...I enjoyed it..The game is pretty old..Probably 5 years old now. I doubt you can find this game but if you can GET IT! This game is not the best game ever made but it will be a solid fun filled game with top notch violence...yea the games pretty violent.

I haven't seen many FPS like Doom Or Quake 2...There great games

IF YOU CAN FIND IT GO OUT AND BUY THIS AWESOME GAME!!

Gameplay 5/5
Graphics 4/5..for its time
Length 4/5..

Over all.....4.5 out of 5

Review: This game is increadably fun. I find my dad playing it. My mom even likes to watch me play it! (despite her hate for "splatter games".) i have spent hours and hours playing this ever since i got it. nothing compares. this game is an idle for all those other crappy clones of this. let me put it this way: the day i got this game, my grades have dropped atleast 1 or 2 grades because of it. its all worth it trust me. its also funny when 2 guys are shooting at you and one of the guys bullets hits the other guy and they start killing each other its way cool and i have seen battles taken place by the enemies. the AI is great and the guns in this game are way cool. I WONT EVEN START ON MULTIPLAYER! it is so fun that u just have to giggle to yourself. when my friends come over for sleepovers we stay up all night playing this game on the internet. it supports 32 players per game and.......wow! buy this game! but i warn you, your grades will drop! :)
