Editorial Review

Be all you can be: become a Space Marine, and save the world. Quake II places you in the role of a generic Marine, the sole survivor of a last-ditch assault force sent against the Strogg's mysterious alien home world. Starting your mission with only a pistol, you'll eventually scavenge much more impressive weaponry from those less fortunate squad mates who didn't quite make it. Action fans will relish the BFG's (game manual's definition is "big, uh, freakin' gun") massive room-clearing discharge, while snipers will delight in the electromagnetic railgun's precise, devastating blast. You get to use these toys on all manner of nightmarish creatures, most of them cobbled together from the remains of your former comrades. In one of the game's least pleasant scenes, you fight your way through the bloody factory that assembles the piecemeal horrors.

Of course, if you're feeling a little more social, you can put off saving the world and opt for Quake II's multiplayer mode, which allows one, two, or three additional players to join in the action. There are four setups for the multiplayer mode, ranging from the standard everyone-for-themselves mode to capture the flag.

This first-person shooter has great graphics and sound that match the mood and fast-paced action of the game. Moreover, each level is unique and some are very large, resulting in a lack of monotony and great replay value. If you can take the intensity of the game's unrestricted violence, you'll enjoy the rich gameplay of Quake II. --Hugh Arnold

Pros:

• Vivid graphics
• Multiplayer modes
• Fantastic level, monster, and weapon design
• Replay value

Cons:

• Extreme violence
• Threadbare plot
• Viewing toggle scrolls at high rate

3.0 out of 5 stars Simplistic, quick, fun 3D shooter, November 27, 2001

This review is from: Quake II (Game Cartridge)

This is a totally new spin on Quake II. It is different than the computer version, new levels, new missions, but the same new enemies from Quake II on the computer. There are around 16 levels with 30 missions. What I mean by missions, is that in each level you have stuff to do, such as collect explosives, then place them to blow up a power grid, or realign a satellite dish. If this sounds complex, don't worry just walk up to something and it is done (quite brainless). This game is your stereotypical shooting game, you run in a first person game, with one of seven guns you can pick up and with this game you get a full 360 degrees motion with your gun, so its more than shooting straight. With other shooting games you fight against waves of monsters, in this game there are pretty much 10 - 20 creatures per level, making the levels go by quickly. This is a pretty good game, the only real downfall is that there are only 10 - 20 enemies per level, making the game go by pretty quick and easy. However the second to last level is totally different from the previous levels making it nearly impossible for the player to complete (Several death traps when the previous levels have no death traps).

I had played Quake 2 on the computer before I rented it on the N64...expecting the graphics to excede those of the computer, but in actuality, they were rather mediocre. Now I'm glad I didn't buy it for the N64. The controls were rather dificult to learn as well (as compared to playing it on the computer first).

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice touch to the Quake series, August 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Quake II (Game Cartridge)

Quake2 is the coolest game I have ever played! Sure the single player mode is a little short, but I dont care! That just gives me a reason to play it again on a harder difficuty level. It is gory, you have to admit, but it is a nice game. The multiplayer mode is awesome! I love it!
