Summary
The FPS proliferation begins...
The Good
I will admit that I played Doom for hours and hours. (
Memories of a 300+ frag deathmatch come to mind. -shudder-) When I heard about Quake, I downloaded the demo, and away we went. The weapons were imaginative (
who knew we would see incarnations of these for the next few years?), the baddies were ugly/scary/grotesque and fun to gib. What more could you ask for?
The Bad
As much as I loved the true 3D engine, A little more color might have been nice. Yes, the darker colors added to the gloomy atmosphere, but it did get to be somewhat annoying after a few hours. And the sound? We'll just leave that alone. I played this game with my CD player going in the background...
The Bottom Line
This was the next step in the FPS genre. A genre that has brought us a lot blood (
on screen), sweat (
trying to get away from your buddy with the nail gun), and tears (
have you played some of these clones?). If you still play Doom, this one will appeal to you as well.
