Summary:
The first Quake was as important to the FPS genre as Doom or Half-Life. It was a game that was mind numbingly fast paced, it had tons of weapons, boat loads of nightmarish monsters and the best multiplayer action the world had ever seen.

Quake 2 made its PC debut a little over 1 year after it's older brother. Behind its state of the art graphics, and multitude of new weapons, the same genius that made Quake into such a phenomenon laid dormant.

The true merits of Quake 2 can never be seen while playing the game off line. A true appreciation of what this game did for gaming can only be seen when opening up Gamespy and going at it in Quake 2. This game is so crucial to multiplayer gaming that words can hardly describe its contributions.

Summary:
I love it when friends send me older games that I missed the first time around. Sometimes they are just too outdated to be fun or too buggy to be worth dealing with. Other times they're a nice diversion from the current games I play. For the last week or so Quake II has been a fun straightforward shootout for me.

I played only the single player, but learned btw that a friend of mine still uses Quake II at LAN parties sometimes because of it's simple fun design and smooth running.

It's been almost a year since Quake II was reviewed here and I felt like a game that still performs solidly and has a nicely designed interface that still does the job well deserves one more thumbs up.

Summary:
Forget what the idiots say. This is the FPS to end all FPS's. Ungodly atomospheric and extremely involving. One player mode kicks all forms of ass over any other FPS out there period. Play by yourself with the lights off, and pretend you're not scared.

Summary:
Quake II, one of the greatest FPS games of all time. What more do you need to say? If you like single player games, this IS NOT the game for you. Go get No One Lives Forever or Soldier of Fortune. If you like multiplayer, then THIS IS THE GAME FOR YOU! This is the all-time greatest multiplayer game, even better than Quake III and Unreal Tournament (Though UT comes rather close).
