Synopsis
The Strogg, a set of evil extraterrestrial entities, have descended on Earth, and now it's your duty to defeat these menacing forces before they capture your planet for keeps. On land, sea and air, they seek to fight and establish defense structures and systems that will render you and your teammates hopelessly hapless. You will have to think quickly and develop tactics and strategies to stop them dead in their tracks or face the possibility of an all-out overtaking.

Choose to play as two distinct armies, the Strogg or the Global Defense Forces, and use their specific abilities to your advantage. Gameplay contains a wide array of vehicles, weapons and fighter classes that allow you to assail opposing forces, and you can build experience and earn promotions to gain new capabilities that will ensure your team's victory. The open-ended format of the game allows for improvised battle sequences with over a square mile of tough terrain, all rendered with realistic graphics thanks to MegaTexture technology. |  |

 Please RENT IT! September 30, 2008
Having made the mistake of ignoring reviews I rented this, luckily I used enough common sense to do so (and not buy it). Quake Wars brings you into a lesser known Quake setting...your own planet. Strongly departed from the old Quake experience it at least draws upon some old familiarities.
The games pc counterpart delivered the goods, this once feels like faulty packaging. The online has many hiccups,and hideously poor graphics, but one can get a good game going. The single player experience on the other hand is pretty much the same as multiplayer, just without the whole social aspect tied in.
Essentially you'll be completing objectified missions, broken down into easily digested proportions. Objectives become very linear upon realizing the formula. Making this definitely not a single player title.
To justify no real single player or compelling story the multiplayer had to be top notch. Unfortunately it isn't, but has a great experience tracking system (that's not going to save you know buddy). You can obtain upgrades briefly per match, while only temporary they focus and reward the player for doing good based upon what class they are. Matches very in length generally with a duration of about twenty minutes or so. Long enough to complete objectives, but on harder settings it's a different story.
One can easily maintain a good kill death ratio, have great accuracy, and a strong strategic plan...but with dull A.I. you're not going to get anywhere really. The timer runs out faster then you can defeat the enemy. Problem is it becomes a one sided war, more or less it's only you doing all the fighting!
The weapons lack variety, the classes are dull, and both the multiplayer/singleplayer are lacking. The graphics as mentioned are cruddy, but some decent lighting saves it a bit. The controls are decent, frame rate not too bad. Vehicles seem a bit unbalanced, yet too weak when one uses them. The maps offer a bit of variety but not enough to save the game. Given over the course of a week to play it grew on me a pinch, still not worth a purchase though. Desolation swept the online with a drought of players (matches taking a long time to assemble the few players). Enemy Territory: Quake Wars seemed like such a strong potential idea, what happened?
Crappy version of Battlefield Bad Company August 14, 2008

This game was cool for the first hour I played it. Then I traded it in when Bad Company came out a few weeks later. Graphics, gameplay, and controls are all 50% of Battlefield. Do not waste your time with this game it is terrible.
 Great game June 9, 2008

Very fun game with many possibilitys, each race human or strogg has there own classes which can do many different things ie hacking into your body and walking around as the other team mate to assasinate, or building turrents so you can sit back and repair vehicles and defend your base with that. theres also many vehicles that are avalible that are fun to use, jetpacks and mech robots are very fun. i'd say 5/5 gives you a good break from halo or somthing its not so competitive because even if your not a good shooter you can be a medic and heal your team or a constructor and build or repair things very fun imo!
Its a combination of several well liked games June 2, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I like most people was starting to get bored of COD4, I went to gamestop on a whim and picked this up. This game really shocked me in terms of fun. Its a Combination of Star wars battlefront, and Frontlines fuel of war. It has the frontlines aspect of frontlines, and the action, of battlefront, it contains many, many vehicles. The graphics are decent, nothing out of the ordinary, however if you cant wait for BF Bad company, then pick this up, it'll give you hours of fun
 Disappointing sums it up June 1, 2008
6 out of 10 found this review helpful
Well, I was looking forward to this game for months. I was hoping it would replace CoD4 with the added element of vehicles. Unfortunately, it falls way short. I felt the game's graphics were dark and the sound was pitiful. The vehicles were less then impressive, and you can't change views which is disappointing. I disliked the game play so much I went back to the store and requested a refund two days later. Fortunately, I'm a regular there and they gave me ful store credit.
