Long on Challenge, Short on Originality,

Quake is a fast-paced, first person combat game that combines an
improved Doom-style system and monsters with unimproved Doom-style
weapons and storyline.Four "dimensions," or game
sections, each divided into five to eight levels, comprise the world
of Quake. These sections, "Dimension of the Doomed,"

(whenever I finally got around to sleeping, anyway) It's the creepiest/scariest game of it's time. Amazing level of violence and brutality. A sureal landscape of mind-warping 3D architecture. Most fitting soundtrack for a game ever (Trent Reznor, you rule), it sets the mood beautifully. Super-intense multiplayer. Gripping and involving single-player environments.For the thousands of hours I have put into this game, I see no loss.

I First got Quake 2 from Gateway when we got our computer. Quake 2 was hard, it took 4 months to beat on easy.(and I'm an exper. player) When I beat it I wanted to get Quake. We just got it and it Rules. If you don't like it you've got a bad problem, see a docter.
