Quake 4 Review  by Shane L at 12:08

PC
Evilavatar has some interesting news up from the weekend, PC Gamer have allegedly managed to review Quake 4 and given it a measely 70%, and to quote..

Final Verdict: Highs - Loads of action; gruesome visuals; Q3DM17 with Doom 3 graphics

Lows - Uninspired gameplay; Stroggification plot twist goes nowhere; no multiplayer bots.

Bottom line - This old-school shooter suffers from a lack of 21st-century game design.

some more alleged quotes.

So why is it that Quake 4, Raven's recent teaming iwth id, plays it very, very safe? A solid shooter, it's nonetheless a throwback to a time before Half-Life and Half-Life 2, Call of Duty, and Far Cry - an era in shooters when all you needed was a big gun and an even bigger boss monster to aim it at. And unlike other Recent "retro" shooters like Painkiller and Serioius Sam, Quake 4 doesnt offer inventive level designs, unique flair, or a budget price tag.

the levels with the vehicles looked bland, with no detail. It just looked like an arena to shoot a bad guy in. I'm not surprised it scored low, even the trailer of the 'squads working together' looked like games from a few years ago.

I always had my doubts about this game - stemmed from the joke of a multi player mode , had multiplayer been a team war fare affair I would have gone for it but as soon as I saw a re hashed Q3 I though hope their single player is red hot ...
