I hereby proclaim Quake 4’s awesomeness. Call me a fanboy (you would be right), call me unsophisticated (not far from the truth), but if you like to shoot bad guys with big weapons, this game is plain fun. Graphics and atmosphere are excellent, weapons feel good, sound gets the job done. Missions are reasonable classic styles like go to point B, keep A alive and such, but they provide a good excuse to shoot more Stroggs and save the universe. Again.

It’s basically Quake 2 with Raven’s production know-how and Doom 3 technology. I only miss the fantastic soundtrack that Sonic Mayhem did for Quake 2.
