| Review | Rating | Last Updated | A great bit of fun on the good 'ol PS1
When Quake 2 originally hit the PC, it's unabashed violence and surprisingly addictive gameplay not only outshined it's predecessor, it killed it before it hit the ground. The PS1 and N64 conversions took much longer than expected to be released, and fans of the PC game anxiously awaiting the home versions were a little worried about the quality of the home system versions. When Quake 2 hit the PS1, those fears were dead in the dirt. Activision, Hammerhead, and Id all did a fantastic job bringing Quake 2 to the PS1 while keeping a surprisingly smooth frame rate (although the graphics aren't as good as its PC counterpart, but that was expected) and the unabashed violent addictive gameplay remains intact. The game makes excellent use of the PS1's Dual Shock controller; the controls are easy and every button is to be used. While some parts can be frustrating and the game has a rather steep learning curve, Quake 2 is still undeniably fun. Those still holding on to they're PS1's can find this bad boy at a rather cheap price and have a great time with this near classic FPS. | 4 | 799 days ago | Pretty good
Yes, Quake II, the game PC owners have been enjoying for a long time, has finally made it to the PlayStation. Being a fan of PC first-person shooters, I was less than excited. I mean, I've already played the single-player to death on the PC, and multiplayer FPS games on a console are usually quite pathetic. The N64 version was pretty good, provided that you could look past the flaws that most fans of the PC version would notice in the first 20 seconds. The PlayStation version has many of these same flaws, but given the PlayStation's rapidly aging hardware, it's easier to overlook these flaws. While you may not remain interested in the single-player mission to see it to its completion, the four-player multiplayer in Quake II will make you glad you had picked up a multitap and three extra Dual Shocks. The storyline is your typical hostile alien sort of thing. You, as a space marine, land on the planet of Stroggos with the intention of blowing up everything in sight. Unfortunately, you get separated from the rest of the marines and are forced to go it alone. So now you must run all over this planet, collecting keys, opening doors, taking elevators, and wiping out various alien monsters before they tear you in half. To wipe out these aliens, you'll have to find weapons - your wimpy default blaster simply won't cut it. You'll find a couple shotguns, two types of machine guns, a grenade launcher, a rocket launcher, and two types of energy weapons - one of which is the almighty BFG, a gun that spits out a huge power ball and wipes out just about anything that gets near the blast. You'll also find a great deal of ammo, armor, and health scattered about the levels. A game like this really requires a good control scheme to succeed. Thanks to excellent use of the Dual Shock controller, it has one. In the default setup, you use the left stick to look around and the four buttons on the front of the pad to move in any of four directions. You can also configure the right analog st | 4 | 799 days ago | sooooo cool
If you like action games that are 1st person then get this. There are so many levels it seems as if this game never ends. You wont get board with it. It has a 2 player mode that is really awesome. I think you should buy it. Dont let the screenshots fool you the graphics are much better. You may think this is an old game but it still is awesome. BUY IT! | 4 | 799 days ago | arrrggghhh
I thought the game was a lot of fun and the graphics were alright for the time it was released the only problem i had with the game was that it pauses for about 5 seconds when you enter a different room but that cant be helped i totally enjoyed this game byeeeeeeee! | 4 | 799 days ago | Death, Destruction and Mayhem
WOW!!! This game is by far one of the best games I've played for the Playstation! If you enjoy shooting evil creatures (and I don't mean Fred Durst), then this game is for you. Great graphics, awesome gameplay, and a plethora of weapons for releasing the animal inside. No need to worry about the flowers and jumping plumbers in this one, folks...this is a total carnage fest, with a lot of strategy thrown in. BUY IT!!!! | 5 | 799 days ago |
