 Great game June 9, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
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

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
5 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.
rent it or try it first before you spend the $60 June 1, 2008

Enemy Territory: Quake wars doesn't break any new ground. After playing similar titles I found this one to be medicore at best for some. There may be some out their who like the alien i.e. Strogg part of the game which is one of the few things that I liked. I guess I will list what I consider to be the goodies in the game. First all maps are available, You can play either side, you can practice with the bots. Strogg has Mech. That's about all I liked, What I didn't like, The sound is pitifull, your weapons sound like the very first games on a nitendo or a pc with a primitive sound card. Some of the vehicles you can't drive and shoot at same time. No 1st person view in the vehicles except for some turret views. A lot of these type of games can get repitive but are still fun, I was bored in about 2 hours and wished I had held out for Battlefield Bad Company and just rented ETQW. The graphics are medicore, To me the game looked like it was produced just to make money. Just from looking at the amount of reviews so far, two, it doesn't look like a lot of people have gotten too excited by it. Also some games the controller layout is pretty intuitive, this is not one of those games. No melee, you get a knife but by the time you switch to it or grenade, well it's too long to cycle through. Also like all Quake games it's speeded up which is ok unless you like a more realistic game like Call of Duty 4. This one always sound like a herd of mice fleeing a cat. My suggestion is to try it before you buy it. If you liked the pc version you will probaly like the 360 port.

i looked all over the area where i live and couldn't find a copy until today when i was lucky enough to score the first copy of it at the local Blockbuster. when i got home and played it and i was very impressed with the graphics and weaponry. as i get more familiar with the controls i find that they are very responsive. all i can say is thank you for a great job Id. now can you give us another DOOM this time one that more than 4 people can play at a time?
