Description

Quake returns for its third action fest, however on this occasion the emphasis is on multiplayer and team gameplay over the series' single player roots.

The games storyline will take you through a number of 1on1 and team based challenges, slowly ranking upwards in difficulty, as the character of your choosing. As usual, there are a number of weapons (from the trusty shotgun to the BFG, and everything in-between) that will aid you in battle, along with power-ups and armour which all comes in handy to keep you alive as long as possible.

Online multiplayer is where Quake III: Arena is at. You'll get the chance to battle your friends in a range of different game modes, including Deatmatch, Team Deathmatch, 1 Flag Capture The Flag, Capture The Flag and Possession. Again, the emphasis in most of the game modes is in team play, whether it be holding off the opposition as your teammate collects and scores the flag, or protecting you and your team as you horde the skull over time.

Trivia

After finishing the game, watch the credits roll. After the Credits show "THE END", the character with the hoverskates will skate around the screen like he's just learning. It's pretty funny to watch.
