Quake 4
Worth buying,
Written by KJ from Courtenay
Aug 3, 2009
The games graphics were not COD4 but were still very good. My only real quibble with the game was the sound. If you use the new Intel based Macbook you have to download an update to even get sound witch was no big deal but even after the update it cut out twice on me and trough trial and error I found out I just needed to restart my computer so no big deal. I also think that the game could have used a few check points closer to some of the harder ares but hitting the save button once in awhile is an easy fix, all and all it was definitely worth buying except you are left a bit hanging at the end and Id soft has no plans to make a quake 5 but that does not take away from the game itself.

Quake 4 is the best
Written by GL

I run Q4 on my iBook G4 (2006) with 1.5 Gb of memory.
It runs well but sometimes freezes when in video mode such as when descending in an elevator.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to overcome the freezing?20 of 34 people found this useful

Great! Help fix the widescreen problem
Written by AG from Winter Haven

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 to 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. lol26 of 29 people found this useful

Great game, great graphics and sound. I've played it on 20" iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.4 and then 10.5. This is one of those games that you will be playing over again every once in a while.

Great game

Running it on my 2.2MBP. No stability issues and the graphics are great on high settings; no lag issues at all. Game play is very fun; it's the type of fps that doesn't require a lot of thought.

Superb game
Written by MT from Salem
Jul 1, 2007
This game is the best game I have ever played. I personaly think it is better than Rome total war, King Kong, Halo, Diablo, World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings, and all those other games. I played this game on my new MacBook Pro and it runs smoothly as silk. In conclusion, this game kicks butt. I recomend this game to all those people with a mac.

Quake 4
Runs on my iBook!
Written by CM from Adelaide
Apr 11, 2007
Good game, even runs on my 12 inch iBook G4 (2006), though on minimal gfx. Unfortunately, it looks like multiplay with bots (featured in Quake 3) is going to have to be done with a mod of some sort.
Anyhow, the game has the only strong story line an Id game has ever had, and is designed to have a sequel (leaves the plot open for more).
Just for info my iBook stats:
1.33 GHz
512 RAM
32 MB ATI Radeon 9550 mobility
Mac OS X 10.4.9, but works with 10.4.5 and others
So, if you do have a slightly slower mac, don't worry, it'll run, but dont expect it to rival your mate's Mac Pro28 of 60 people found this useful

Very Cool Game!
Written by ER from Tallahassee

I recently bought this game for my 24" iMac. It runs extremely smoothly, and i get about 72 FPS. There is a lot of exciting combat scenes. Anyone with a decent Apple should definitely check this game out.

Quake 4 is a good action games like doom 3 you get to ride in walkers go outdoors and battle with verious monsters and zombies.With verious wepons you will be able to deffet the gates of hell.I have played quake 4 and it is almost like doom3 the AI is quick and fast you get backup with your other crew members wepons like rockets lanchers,plasma guns and lazer guns you take them out quickly.You play the part of a warrior that waas captured and turned into one of them because the only way to beat them is to be one of them. Thanks for reading my review and thats the end.

id All The Way!!!!!!
Written by DR
Aug 17, 2006
I have been a fan of id from the very beginning, Wolfenstien, then doom in 1993 and eventually doom 2 in '94. Yes i was there since the beggining doom, quake, and now this. When i first popped in the dvd and played it for the first time, i had the biggest smile on my face, big enough that the corners of my mouth had their own zip code...haha, just kiddding. but i loved it when i first played it. I immediately noticed the game was based on the Doom 3 engine so from then on, i just knew it was gonna be great! The voice acting is GREAT!!! due to the fact that id hired actual actors to play the characters. The only thing that i kind of didnt like was the fact that most people wouldnt talk to you because they were "pre occupied" even though they were standing there next to some one right after they finished talking or if they were merely sitting down. also my computer crashes when ever i try to play multiplayer, in which the maps have no relation to the game. but i do love Xaero Gravity where you are in space ad jump from panel to panel in zero gravity. Also you quake three fans will recognize some of the maps, producing that nostalgic feeling.

Runs GREAT on a 1.83 MBP 1gbRAM Graphics128mb
Written by JR from Waterville
Jun 24, 2006
I was hesitant to get this game with only a 128 meg graphics card... (I'm pretty particular about having a good FPS)... and I was quite impressed with how well the game ran -- with the patch. I can run at full widescreen aspect ratio1200 X 900 on medium detail settings with special graphic effects turned on (no shadows)... and the game gets at least 30 FPS... much higher in indoor levels (which there are a lot of). VERY playable, very fun. No slow-downs even with many characters in frame... A MUST-BUY if you have a macbook pro or imac intel... don't let your 128 meg graphics card worry you.
A REALLY intense game... with a great single-player aspect (haven't tried multiplayer yet)...38 of 53 people found this useful

Truely one of the most amazing FPS's to come out on the mac, and one of the best looking. The story mode keeps you hooked through the whole game while the multiplayer mode boosts up your skill, it's a no brainer, you need this game.
