Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

You've landed in an alien land only to find that your troops have been depleted. It's up to you to fight through enemy lines to save yourself and humanity. With smarter enemies and longer, more challenging levels, Quake II builds on its predecessor, Quake, for even more challenging play. A mistake in one level may haunt you for the rest of the game.

Quake II offers its players intense sound and graphics with real-time lighting effects. It may seem the missiles are exploding in your living room. Plus, you can play online against up to 32 players who may be fighting for--or against--your cause. Parents note: Quake II is intended for mature audiences due to the violent nature of the game.

Product Description

Shortly after landing on an alien surface, you learn that hundreds of your men have been reduced to just a few. Now you must fight your way through heavily fortified military installations, lower the city's defenses and shut down the enemy's war machine. Only then will the fate of humanity be known.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last., December 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Quake 2 (CD-ROM)

If you're a Mac User like me, and you're tired of PC Users getting all the hot titles, here's a step in the right direction. Quake II has all the features and frenetic game play of the Windows version. Quake II in many ways picks up where Quake left off. There are still the fantastic graphics and hideous enemies of the original, with cooler weapons, more complex levels, and smarter bad guys. The improved AI of monsters is evident, as they duck, hide and even fall back and setup ambushes. You will need a good system to run this game. Anyone with less than a G3 will probably find game performance a problem, but if you've got the hardware, this is a must-have game. Multi-player support is also enhanced, making death matches run more smoothly. So lock yourself away and prepare for another bout of repetitive stress injuries, because Quake II for Mac is here.

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Quake 2 (CD-ROM)

I didn't realize that. I am a new and exuberant iMac user, and was eager to play Quake 2 on my system! Other experienced Mac users may know this, but I didn't realize that the term "Classic Environment" is Apple code for "It doesn't work on Macs anymore." So instead of a game, I have a coaster.

If Unreal was not quite your thing but you like this type of action game or if your looking for a little no bot action this games for you. Multi-player is a bit lacking but then again their Quake 3 that is better in action and multi-player. But Quake 2 has a very good story and the flys are so much better than Unreal.
