Editorial Review
The Strogg are cybernetic warriors--a mechanical frame and decaying body parts stabilized by flesh consumed in a systematic annihilation of other species and civilizations. In a desperate attempt to survive a Strogg attack on Earth, an armada of Earth's finest warriors is sent to take the battle to the Strogg home planet. Earth's initial assault force is nearly annihilated immediately, but one marine manages to infiltrate the base, bring down their planetary defense systems, and kill the Strogg's collective brain and leader--the Makron. Earth assumed the destruction of the Makron would end it all, but it didn't.
The Strogg are quickly regrouping. However, with the Strogg's planetary defenses still destroyed, Earth's forces can deliver a full and final assault. This time, you're not alone. You are Matthew Kane, an elite member of Rhino Squad, and part of Earth's next invasion wave. An army of soldiers are fighting with you and an arsenal of weapons and vehicles are at your disposal in this heroic and epic battle between worlds.
As the invasion begins, players choose to battle as one of five unique classes in either the EDF (Earth Defense Force - humans) or the barbaric alien Strogg armies, each augmented with specialist weapons and combat hardware. Troops utilize over 40 conventional and futuristic vehicles, deployable structures, and defense systems like quad-bikes, tanks, and alien walkers for epic ground assaults; or helicopters and anti-gravity ships to lend firepower from the air. Throughout each battle, teams establish bases, deploy defense structures, artillery, radar, and advanced forward-command systems into enemy territory while constructing and demolishing obstacles to speed progress and gain a tactical advantage over the enemy.

not as good as quake 2 for a first shooter game and it takes a lot of computer to run.
Quake 4 
2007-10-10
Awsome 3d shooter, better first player than Quake 2, or as good (remember back then). I wish online play was faster, my P4 2.2Ghz with 2gb memory and 128mb ATI DirectX 9 video card can't handle it. Other than that I am surprised it runs 1player smooth enough. You will like the different types of gameplay and spaceships you aboard. I am only about 5 levels deep into the game. I hope I play it throughout how much I plan to take advantage (milk) my laptop for either way. My laptop runs Everquest 2 super fast, that is a long time I plan to take advantage of the current "tier" of DirectX9. I will build a computer afterwards. Buy it! Quake quake quake! What else.
A waste............. 2007-10-04
Awhile back, I wrote a not so good review of Halo (one) and have changed my mind. I simply needed a better computer and video card. So now I've had that for a year or so and have been loving Halo CE. I figured I would try another shooter and bought Quake 4. Big disapointment, to me. Just for the record, I'm not a fan of artificially fast movements, whether it be racing games or shooters. And in this game, well...it seems everything is fast and dark. Especially fast in the multiplayer environment. It's just no fun to when everything happens so fast you don't have time to appreciate if there even are cool looking environments in which to play...unlike in, I believe Quake 3, which I liked.
In single player mode, I actually thought I absentmindedly bought a second copy of Doom....same old look....dark corridors inside a space ship. Nothing interesting.
Next time I'll check other reviews and especially the screen captures.
Play Quake 4! 2007-09-02
Not playing? You're missing all the fun! Lengthy, fun, gorry shooter :-) Grab your blaster and get some Strog! Seriously - I've played all the single players and this one's challenging and the best (yes it plays on Vista)!
Great FPS game 2008-05-28
This game is on pare with F.E.A.R. . It gets very hard, even on easy. One person against the game is fun.
wouldn't install 
2008-04-24
I bought this game back in 05 and it wouldn't install. During disk 2 it could never access a file called something like pak003.pk4, and there was no way around it. Internet searches turned up plenty of people with the same problem, but no solution.
I'm reminded because I just found the game on my shelf and tried to install it again. Total waste of money.
Won't even install 2008-04-21
I have a Dell Inspiron with lots of resources, using Windows XP SP2. I have NEVER had an application fail to complete installation before. But Quake 4 did. In the middle of the fourth (!) disk, it just went to sleep. I just went to Activision's support web site, which is kind of a joke. Forget this buggy piece of junk.
A Great Shooter 2008-04-07
The game looks very modern and the colors are very vibrant. I would suggest it to any person who likes shooter games. Usually I like games that give you the option to play with cheats so for me it makes it more entertaining.
Will keep you busy, but could be better. 
2008-03-14
Nice single player mode to keep you busy, but not as good as others. If you compare this game to Fear, Fear wins in a number of ways. Fear has sharper and more realistic graphics. Fear's storyline is better scripted, and can keep you on the edge of your seat at times. Quake is just a shoot 'em up game, that you keep playing because you just want to finish it. No replay value whatsoever. At lease the single mode is long enough to keep you playing for a while.
