Quake 4
Doom 3, only more so!
Written by BR from Lincoln
07-Mar-2007
Quake 4 is built on the exceptional graphics engine first seen in Doom 3 and hopefully to be seen a lot more often in the future. The AIs are smart and responsive, the scenery is jaw-droppingly realistic (most of the time) and the plot is interesting and engaging.
For more detailed praise, read my review on Doom 3. This game, however, lacks the fear of Doom, but more than makes up for it in blood, guts and senseless violence - the all important staples of any FPS game.
A significant improvement on Doom 3 is the far better assault rifle, which now comes with a sniper sight, allowing the player to look down the sight (an aspect of FPS gaming which has been all but vital since Black Hawk Down and Call of Duty) and pick off targets from a distance. However, Quake is a brilliant game in itself and not just because it is on a par with Doom - but because of that fact it is head and shoulders above many of its competitors.
This game follows on directly after the exceptionally entertaining Quake 2, which is a good thing, since Quake 3: Arena was hopeless. …More33 of 38 people found this useful

Quake 4
If you have Leopard, go for it!
Written by AB from London
31-Oct-2007
I bought this game to see what my new iMac can do (2.4Ghz, 2Gb RAM, ATI 2600HD 256Mb). It performed reasonably well, but had some minor graphical issues (no acceptable widescreen mode) while running it under Mac OS X Tiger.
On the other hand, it runs unbelievably well under Mac OS X Leopard. After the update, I was offered two new widescreen modes (16:9 and 16:10), and a few new system settings. With the resolution crancked up to 1920*1200 (in 16:10 mode), detail set to medium (more then enough), all special visual settings turned on (special effects, AA, etc.), it runs smoothly.
Otherwise a great game with a reasonably good story. …More25 of 31 people found this useful

Quake 4
Another solid Mac game for the masses
Written by AD from MALLOW

A great game that performs surprisingly well on reasonably modern Macs - laptops included. With a bit of tweaking I've managed to get it going on machines with below-minimum spec.. If you enjoyed Doom 3, you'll love this one. Just make sure you have a long weekend coming up before you install it - it takes time to see what's lurking around all those blind corners.... …More

Quake 4
Awesome and lasting game
Written by JB from Virum
20-Jul-2008
Requirements are a graphic card so no go MacBook.:Video Card: Radeon 9600 or better, GeForce 6600 or better.
You can save at any time which is great. You can split a difficult sequence by savingin the middle of a sequence.
If a scenario seams too hard the key is to think it over and find a solution to the problem. Sometimes one can get stuck by following a wrong goal.
But the grafic is awesome and the enemies are colorfull. But the weapons are excellent and the ammo is plenty!;-)
There are many, many hours of delight. And it just functions on the Mac be it Tiger or Leopard. …More8 of 9 people found this useful
