Cons: LOADING SCREENS ARE TOO LONG
Summary: In Halo & Halo 2, if you get killed, you automatically start at the last checkpoint, virtually NO LOADING REQUIRED. In Quake 4, you have to manually load the game, ...

Summary: In Halo & Halo 2, if you get killed, you automatically start at the last checkpoint, virtually NO LOADING REQUIRED. In Quake 4, you have to manually load the game, wait for a LONG loading screen, and then manually press A to start. This is TOOO MUCH

The CNET review seems a little out-of-sync
by bmusker on December 5, 2005
Pros: Fun single-player shoot-em-up
Cons: HD graphics are not stunning

Summary: Well the XBOX has been out a little over two weeks and I've spent a week playing this title. I can't say I've seen the slow frame rates / lock-ups that CNET is reporting. Also note I'm playing in 1080i mode. The game has been a lot of fun. As they said, the graphics don't quite live up to what I've seen in NBA Live or Need For Speed MW... but the gameplay has been a blast, and more engaging than Perfect Dark Zero. My real complaint is that you cannot skip through the level intro movies, which, when you have attemtped to get through the same level 30 times, become a VERY annoying slow-down.

Who's the guy that's trashing this game?

Summary: This game is a must-have for those who don't have the computer powerful enough to run it. A sort of sequel to Quake 2, the gameplay is excellent. Even with the lack of an original storyline, the game will keep you entertained for hours on end.

Summary: cnet gave this a 6 out of 10? thats barely above average and this game is very fun online. A game that is a 6 should be a game that is average in every way. I think cnet has way too tough standards when rating games and electronics. For all you people who enjoy first person shooters and online play get the game. You will be missing out on some fun fragging. If you dont go online then i would skip the game since there are other single player games that are better. But it does deserve a 8 or so if you get into online play or system link

not so fast
by northharvester on November 30, 2005
Pros: Excellent grafics
Cons: Only 8 playeronline multiplayer
Summary: I didnt seem to see the frame rate issues that the cnet editor had, but maybe that was because I was having so much fun playing the game!

- Description: In a desperate war for Earth's survival against an unrelenting alien enemy, the only way to defeat them is to become one of them. Earth is under siege by the Strogg, a barbaric alien race moving through the universe consuming, recycling and annihilating any civilization in their path. In a desperate attempt to survive, an armada of Earth's finest warriors is sent to take the battle to the Strogg home planet. You are Matthew Kane, an elite member of Rhino Squad and Earth's valiant invasion force. Fight alone, with your squad, or in hover tanks and mechanized walkers as you engage in a heroic mission to the heart of the Strogg war machine. Battle through early missions as a deadly marine, then after your capture, as a marine-turned-Strogg with enhanced abilities and the power to turn the tide of the war. Built on id Software's revolutionary DOOM 3 technology, Quake 4 also features fast-paced multiplayer competition modeled after the speed, feel, and style of Quake III Arena.
