Quake II

The Good
Like any other Doom game, the game offers immersive 3D slayfestivals, either in single player or multiplayer mode. On a decent system, it's a smooth, efficient little combat game.

The Bad
There's really no substantial difference between this and Quake, Doom, Doom II, Duke Nukem 3D, or any one of a bunch of first-person kill-the-monsters games.

Quake II's color palette is one of the ugliest in gaming history; everything is brown and grey. I'm not sure what id's obession is with publishing games that are entirely brown and grey, but to each his own.

The game has no backstory and there's nothing unique or even interesting about the levels, weapons, or interactivity.

The Bottom Line
OK shooting game. Might be a decent diversion if you can get it for cheap.
