Firstly, to kick things off, Happy Halloween everybody!!
Anyway, moving on, as the stampede of Quake 4 reviews abruptly rave on, VoodooExtreme have optated to join the club with their new review of Quake 4, scoring it a decent 7/10 amongst the crowd. Here's a nugget from it:
"I think it's safe to say that anyone who has played Doom III dug the graphics. The problem was that you couldn't see very much since it was a horror driven shooter that relied heavily on shadows and a flashlight. Quake IV is like Doom III with the lights on. Not only can you see more of the world, but that flashlight you had to switch hands to use was put on the barrel of the pistol and machine gun, making navigation much easier in dark areas. Performance is solid and the game looks great even on the mid level settings. Cranked up, it looks fantastic. Not the best visuals on the market, but certainly close to it."
To catch the rest of what they have to spill, the entire review is most certainly your source.
