Quake 4 -- Special DVD Edition (PC Games, 2005)

Average Quake game from Raven Software. Not bad but not good, so it's average.

A special DVD Collectors Edition also exists, including promotional material and the game Quake II with its expansions. The Xbox 360 version of Quake 4 is based on the Special Collectors Edition, and therefore also includes Quake II.

Comes with cool black case :)

If you're a die hard first-person-shooter fan, you might be a TAD disappointed with the latest in the Quake series. If you have a beefy enough system, it's really pretty- don't get me wrong. But pretty does not a good game make.

I actually bought this so I could try it out, but also to get the Quake 2 and associated expansion packs that come with it, which I played through most of before starting Quake 4. Going into Quake 4, I was annoyed that it didn't support the native resolution of my monitor (1280x720) and although you can make it work, there's no user-friendly way (you have to manually edit a configuration file)

The intro sequence is graphically stunning, although if you played through Quake 1 (which had almost no story whatsoever) and Quake 2 (which actually had a somewhat decent story) you start thinking that Quake 4 is actually a remake of Quake 2.

Once you're given control and start walking around, you immediately notice that you walk very slowly. This isn't actually true. You RUN very slowly. If you hold down SHIFT, which in most games means "run", you actually "walk". The running speed is ridiculous. Which makes it hard to dodge and escape- or just want to explore and see the pretty scenery. This unfortunately means I am not really interested in playing it much more. What's the fun of a game that feels slow?

But the graphics are good- so I appreciate that, and there's lots of cool stuff to look at, and poke, or blow up, and the detail on the level design is astounding. The enemies look great too, although they're so damn fast you barely get to see them before you shoot them and they dissolve into green mist.

Now, maybe I should go and explore the other DVD content (I assume there's some kind of "making of" video) but I just don't care enough. I had more fun with Doom 3, even though it wasn't quite as pretty.

The Quake 2 original game and expansions are the best part of this 2-disc set, in my opinion. If you're dead set on buying it, buy it used, because in all honesty, $10 is a fair price, but $40 would have me calling up for a refund. Okay okay, it's not THAT bad, but I was really disappointed it wasn't as good as I wanted it to be.. as good as it SHOULD have been.

This game has a very engaging single player game but the multiplayer is a ghost town nowdays, I bought this game mostly to play online but I was disappointed to find that mostly nobody is playing this game online, There are more people on the multiplayer demo than in the full one but is a nice game anyway.

This is what you buy when you know that person on your list wants Quake 4. Suprise them with super bonus content and other goodies that are found within this Special Collector's Edition. The designers and workers of this game really have taken the genre to another level and this version is a celebration of that. SSSIXXX

Awsome graphics,3 main maps with multi levels per map. Easy to set up your own online multi player (unranked) server with BOTs.This is a cool futureistic shooter,play as a member of the GDF or become one of the alien Strog invaders.Fun game.

The item always like me. Is very intense and descriptive. Have diferents moments of action and the grafics are very good. It is a clasics of the video games.

Everything as described... my son came back from the recent Quakecon Conference in Dallas, TX and piqued my interest in the game... so I found it on EBay!!

I like the special edition comes with a bonus dvd with the making of quake4 and the complete quake 2 with all the expansions hours of bloody entertainment

I have had Quake 3 for 9 years now so I decided to upgrade to Quake 4. The newer version now has a STORY LINE!!!!! It's fun but my favorite part is playing the old maps from Q3 on Q4. The graphics are pretty good but the game doesn't display in 1920x1080. But that's a quick fix. This is a great game.

The item was broken,seller accept to take it back and refund my original cost but didn't take responsibility to cover my reshipping cost which was more than half a price I originally paid. So it was nonsense to take that hassle.

Always wanted to play this game at home, but never had a computer to play it on. Till I build my own. Now I can enjoy Quake4. Have played Quake the first edation before. This item graphics are much better.

I have been looking for the item I purchased for a while, for a reasonable price. The seller had exactly what I was looking for, and for a price I didn't frown at. Great communication, I will definitely do business again with this seller.

Cheers

Graphics and play is outstanding......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I paid for this game because it is a great game. ID Software rules, they support linux. If you are new to linux, try something easy like ubuntu,

Fun game worth the 6 bucks i spent .

like doom3 this game is a little dated graphicly, but the still compelling story line will keep you playing through.

The Game was brand new just as the seller said it would be. The graphics in this game are incredible as to be expected from such a well know game maker. I have had hours of fun and challenges with this game so far and look forward to getting into it even more.

A fanastis First Person Shooter platform.great grahics,detailed instruction booklet.In-depth missions and very free-flowing.Bonus DVD includes Quake II and bonuses.

Good first person shooter.
Excelent graphics.
The game takes what was good about Quake 2 and makes it even better.

I'll cut straight to the point: this game's single player is boring and repetitive, and the online community is almost completely dead. Don't bother.

Very quick service. Product delivered was as advertised and works great. Will buy again in the future. Thank you very much!

The game i bought was listed as new. Obviously i expected for it to maybe have a scratch or bend here or there, but it looked as if it was 100 percent brand new, exactly as good as the stuff you get when you buy new games from the store. Thanks.
