"Quake returns with a BOOM!"

I personally think the first Quake is still the best Quake game, but this one is still good!

Gameplay: The engine owns, and what you do is.....run around shooting everything! Yes, it's fun. Deathmatch is fun, but I mainly do Team Deathmatch or Capture the Flag. CTF is insanely fun! Even though there are only five levels for CTF I played it for hours! You can play online, but bot skirmishes completely own! You can also do Single Player, which is a bunch of tiers where you play Deathmatch against bots. But do skirmishing, it is the best thing in this game! The bots act like humans, and since you might not be able to find servers do bot matches!!! 2/2

Story: You and other warriors are put in an arena for the entertainment of this bad alien dude named Xaero. But, pish, I don't worry about the story, the gameplay completely owns. But for even trying to put in a story I'm taking off a point.
1/2

Graphics: Smooth, nice, visually stunning, really enjoyable. It's no Far Cry, but it has smooth and pretty graphics Also it has no frame rate problems ( unless you have a PC from the stone age) you can run real fast, and it doesn't get jumpy. The characters are very sharp and clear, the graphics are a plus. 2/2

Sound: This has classic Quake music, where it's a bunch of creepy stuff put to tune. I love some of the music, it does have some rock, but the music is really good. The sound is good too, the weapons blasting, the announcer dude. If you liked the music in the original Quake, then you'll like this. Sometimes the characters can sound annoying, but who really cares? It's all good. 2/2

Replayability: Oh my goodness, who wouldn't replay it? It's impossible not too! I mean, it's so much fun, what else can I say? Well, I will say this. Play with bots on 'Bring it on!', then go for a higher skill level, then a higher, then a higher one, until you completely own on Nightmare skill level! 2/2

Final score: 9/10
