Quake 4
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 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.

No sound
Written by RF from BALTIMORE

I bought this when I bought my IMAC 23 (April 07). It does not recognize the sound card and I get no sound. Graphics look great, but it missing something without sound. I guess I will have to box my MAC up and see a genious. I already tried this once before and didn't have much luck.

TERRIBLY CHOPPY, not a good game for Macs
Written by NW from Cambridge

I played this game on my brand new MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz, 256MB nVidia Video RAM, with settings at medium resolution and no shadow, and the game was still very choppy. This is what it felt like playing the game: I-fe-lt-lik-e-I-was-wa-tc-hing-a-s-trea-m-i-n-g-v-id-e-o-w-ith-a-l-o-w-s-p-eed-in-t-e-r-ne-t-c-on-n-e-c-ti-o-n.

YALFPS - (Yet Another Lame First Person Shooter)
Download the demo and try it - yawn...zzzz
Spend your money on something more exciting,
like a large collection of paper clips!
If you must get a shoot-em up FPS,
get Unreal Tournament.48 of 105 people found this useful

Quake 4
Crashes. Always. Can't even run the game.
Written by RP from Milwaukee
Jul 20, 2006
Installed the 1.2 patch to enable SMP since I have dual processors, and now this game is worthless. It loads the menu, then it crashes when I hit start game. Without fail. It's really ticking me off. Avoid it unless you're happy running without SMP.

Quake 4
slow and freezes the mac book pro up
Written by JW
Jun 1, 2006
Maybe I have a freak mac, but my mac freezes alot with my mac book pro 2.16 gz 2 gig ram; and I have to restart all the time. The controls are delayed so everyone with a pc online kills you. If you wiggle the mouse back and forth you will find your going left when your moving right because of delay. Even in the intel update, maybe it needs another update? But it looks really cool! and I managed to beat the game even with delay.
