Product Description The Strogg are cybernetic warriors--a mechanical frame and decaying body parts stabilized by flesh consumed in a systematic annihilation of other species and civilizations. In a desperate attempt to survive a Strogg attack on Earth, an armada of Earth's finest warriors is sent to take the battle to the Strogg home planet. Earth's initial assault force is nearly annihilated immediately, but one marine manages to infiltrate the base, bring down their planetary defense systems, and kill the Strogg's collective brain and leader--the Makron. Earth assumed the destruction of the Makron would end it all, but it didn't. The Strogg are quickly regrouping. However, with the Strogg's planetary defenses still destroyed, Earth's forces can deliver a full and final assault. This time, you're not alone. You are Matthew Kane, an elite member of Rhino Squad, and part of Earth's next invasion wave. An army of soldiers are fighting with you and an arsenal of weapons and vehicles are at your disposal in this heroic and epic battle between worlds. As the invasion begins, players choose to battle as one of five unique classes in either the EDF (Earth Defense Force - humans) or the barbaric alien Strogg armies, each augmented with specialist weapons and combat hardware. Troops utilize over 40 conventional and futuristic vehicles, deployable structures, and defense systems like quad-bikes, tanks, and alien walkers for epic ground assaults; or helicopters and anti-gravity ships to lend firepower from the air. Throughout each battle, teams establish bases, deploy defense structures, artillery, radar, and advanced forward-command systems into enemy territory while constructing and demolishing obstacles to speed progress and gain a tactical advantage over the enemy.

Great FPS game May 28, 2008 This game is on pare with F.E.A.R. . It gets very hard, even on easy. One person against the game is fun.
wouldn't install April 24, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this game back in 05 and it wouldn't install. During disk 2 it could never access a file called something like pak003.pk4, and there was no way around it. Internet searches turned up plenty of people with the same problem, but no solution.
I'm reminded because I just found the game on my shelf and tried to install it again. Total waste of money.
Won't even install April 21, 2008 0 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have a Dell Inspiron with lots of resources, using Windows XP SP2. I have NEVER had an application fail to complete installation before. But Quake 4 did. In the middle of the fourth (!) disk, it just went to sleep. I just went to Activision's support web site, which is kind of a joke. Forget this buggy piece of junk.
A Great Shooter April 7, 2008 The game looks very modern and the colors are very vibrant. I would suggest it to any person who likes shooter games. Usually I like games that give you the option to play with cheats so for me it makes it more entertaining.
Will keep you busy, but could be better. March 14, 2008 Nice single player mode to keep you busy, but not as good as others. If you compare this game to Fear, Fear wins in a number of ways. Fear has sharper and more realistic graphics. Fear's storyline is better scripted, and can keep you on the edge of your seat at times. Quake is just a shoot 'em up game, that you keep playing because you just want to finish it. No replay value whatsoever. At lease the single mode is long enough to keep you playing for a while. comp specs: Intel Duo Core, xfx 8600 512mb, 2GB Ram
