5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent buy if you don't have any of these (you should), April 27, 2002

Although quake 2 and 3 are decent shooters, neither of them are one of my favorites in the fps world. They are still great fun nonetheless. However, the real star here is the original Quake. This was and is one of the greatest games ever. What seperates Quake from its sequels was its excellent creepy atmosphere. All the levels are dark, scary, but nevertheless beautiful. It still looks incredible by today's standards. And the music by Trent Reznor is great and very fitting for the game. Some people say the gameplay is outdated, but it just doesn't seem to bother me. It's all about the action. For example, what are you doing all the time in Quake 3? Fighting opponents. Same as in Quake 1. So what's the problem? I don't get it.

And while 2 is fun, it just didn't live up to or continue Quake's atmosphere. Apparently, the designers tried to focus more on the action instead of the enviornment. However, I still think Quake 1 has better action. Quake 2 seems a little slow.

Quake 3 is the weakest of the bunch. It has great graphics and some really cool levels, but they scrapped the single player game all together. Just plain old deathmatch or capture the flag. It's a little bit fun, but it grows old soon and you'll wish it was more single player focused and not just deathmatch. "Find the exit" gameplay is much better than this I think.

Overall this is a great value. Buy it while you can!

Quake, Quake II, and Quake 3. Need I say more? For thirty dollars you get your hands on one of the best collections available. Get it if don't have any of these games...or even if you do.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for gamers everywhere, March 19, 2002

When it comes to gaming, this is a must have for gamers everywhere. Quake was the most revolutionizing FPS, and the entire Quake series is treasured to me. You may not like the Quake series as much as I do, but for the entire package at [the price] it is an incredible deal. If your a newbie to the FPS genre or an oldschooler retracing his roots these are great games for a great value.
