Quake 4 is the best

dumb "anti-piracy measure"
Written by DC from Toronto
Jul 21, 2008
In order to play this game, you must have the CD in the drive. I called Aspyr to ask why every time I wanted to play, the software…Read more asked me to insert the CD, and I was told it is a way to prevent piracy. This is one of the most useless things I have ever heard of. I would not have bought this game had I known I was chained to a CD in order to use it. Come on, would anyone accept having to insert the installer CD every time one needed to use Photoshop, InDesign or Quark Xpress? I am now stuck with a ridiculous game that defeats the purpose of having a "portable" laptop.

Great! Help fix the widescreen problem
Written by AG from Winter Haven
Jul 7, 2008
Under the system settings there is a choice next to resolution which is aspect ratio. If you have a MBP like my self. Changing it …Read moreto 16:10 (make sure it isn't at 16:9) and you will be able to get better res. like 1280x800 or 1440x900.
Plus for those of you that gave it less stars just because you didn't know how to change the aspect ratio doesn't mean you should have rated it any less. Google...Use it, it helps a lot. lol(21 of 24 people found this review useful)

Great Single Player, Lacking Multiplayer
Written by NK from Seattle
Jul 5, 2006
The graphics on this game are awesome. Upgrading from a 1Ghz G4 I had no idea how good games have become. The single player is imm…Read moreersive and fun. Although it can be dark at times, it is done well, not trying to scare you like in Doom 3. The voice actors are great and the animation is supurb.
My only problem is with the multiplayer. It is very much in the style of quake 3 or unreal tournement. If you like those games this will not disapoint. However, based on the single player gameplay I was assuming there would be more of a team based large scale realistic battle. Instead it is a very fast pased shooter with short life spans and no vehicles. An open map with the hover tanks and walkers from the single player campaign would have been very cool.(243 of 370 people found this review useful)

Good, but better buy the windows version if you play multiplayer

I got this game a few weeks ago. here's what I have to say.
Pros:

Cons:
Multiplayer: It…Read more's hard to find people to play with online. The multiplayer mode is mac only, and the number of mac players out there are very few. When I search for games I never see more than 10 people on.
Graphics: it doesn't support wide screen. Instead, it only supports the windows standard resolutions.
If we can play with windows people online and run full screen at native resolution, this game would be awesome.(106 of 151 people found this review useful)
