Quake III: Arena

The bottom line with Quake 3 Arena is that Id has delivered an incredibly addicting game. Id set out with one goal in mind: Create the ultimate deathmatch, and they have pretty much succeeded. If you're looking for more than deathmatching, you won't really find it until Quake fans start churning out modifications for the game, but until then, what a deathmatch it is!

Quake 3: Arena was truly built for multiplayer online gaming. Soon enough, mods will come out, and the game will last even longer. I really must applaud id Software for their effort to bring Quake 3: Arena to the Mac platform just about on time. Although there wasn't much a of a plot, and the single player was a bit of a disappointment, the game was originally intended as an online fragfest, so we really can't complain about that. Everything else is outstanding, with very few flaws. id Software keeps getting better with each title. As for the question I left you in the overview: "Does Quake 3: Arena improve from its predecessors? And is it worth the dough for a game that is 3rd in its series?" There is no doubt that Quake 3 improves from its predecessors dramatically. And after three Quake installments, the third one delivers the most outstanding and addictive gameplay. My answers are "yes" and "yes"!

Si vous n'êtes pas encore converti à ce genre, donnez sa chance à Quake 3 ; Il saura vous faire apprécier un univers que des milliers de joueurs continue à fréquenter plusieurs années après sa sortie. Car le point fort de ce titre est bien le fait que plusieurs années après des milliers de personnes continuent de s'adonner aux frags dans des arènes désormais sns secrets. Mais le succès de Q3 vient également de son support des mods ; Une idée géniale qui permet d'inclure de nouveau modes de jeux avec leurs propres règles et leurs propres univers.

Quake 3 is at heart, as many critics are quick to point out, a very simple game, which really brings nothing incredibly new to the action or first-person-shooter genres. However, it is a simple game done very well. Id took a huge gamble trying to accomplish something so pure of essence as Quake 3, and thankfully accomplished their goals. Frag away!
