About Quake 2
Amazon.com You've landed in an alien land only to find that your troops have been depleted. It's up to you to fight through enemy lines to save yourself and humanity. With smarter enemies and longer, more challenging levels, Quake II builds on its predecessor, Quake, for even more challenging play. A mistake in one level may haunt you for the rest of the game. Quake II offers its players intense sound and graphics with real-time lighting effects. It may seem the missiles are exploding in your living room. Plus, you can play online against up to 32 players who may be fighting for--or against--your cause. Parents note: Quake II is intended for mature audiences due to the violent nature of the game. Product description Shortly after landing on an alien surface, you learn that hundreds of your men have been reduced to just a few. Now you must fight your way through heavily fortified military installations, lower the city's defenses and shut down the enemy's war machine. Only then will the fate of humanity be known. Review Quake II has been decimating employee productivity for over two years. Now, finally, it can begin to wreak its first-person shooting havoc on the Mac-based workforce as well. The biggest question you probably have about this mega-blockbuster coming to the Mac is, was it worth the wait? The answer is heck yes! Although Activision is publishing the game for the Mac, Logicware ported the code from the PC version, and it seems to have done an excellent job. The original developer of the Quake series, id Software (http://www.idsoftware.com), is renowned for writing games to take advantage of every ounce of speed that a computer can muster. Initially, we had some concern that this level of optimization would be difficult to replicate in a different computer with a different processor (despite the PowerPC's speed, it's still different). Our fears were unfounded as it turns out, and Quake II runs fantastically on just about any G3-based computer, including the original iMac. It even performs well on older PowerPC Macs that use 603- or 604-based processors. Of course, having a 3D accelerator card makes a huge difference in game performance. Out of the box, Quake II supports OpenGL 3D acceleration on ATI chips, including Rage II, Rage Pro, and the newer Rage 128. Of course, the game looks best on Rage 128 that comes in the Blue & White G3 towers. 3DFX card owners can also take advantage of OpenGL acceleration on their machines with the help of the Q2MesaGL drivers and a new OpenGL library file available from the Logicware site (http://www.logicware.com). Gameplay is just as we've all come to expect from id titles - fast, furious, and violent - earning every bit of the game's Mature ESRB rating. The single player game is level upon level of gothic corridors, grotesque villains, and powerful weaponry. Opponents die agonizing deaths and explode into chunky gore when you shoot them. Many of your favorite weapons from the first Quake, like the rocket launcher and the shotgun, have been upgraded for the new Q2 look. To keep things exciting, the game has introduced a number of new weapons, the most notable of which is the rail gun. This monster sends a bolt of energy at the speed of light - it's powerful enough to take down just about any player that isn't loaded up on armor and extra health. Quake I was often criticized because the single player levels were rather poorly designed. Quake II makes up for that deficiency. Every level is well thought out, with plenty of hidden booty like power ups and more powerful weapons to keep things interesting. At first glance Quake II appears to be just a better looking Quake I, but the game really takes off as a whole new experience in network play - either over the Internet or over a LAN. Quake always was a good multiplayer game, but with Quake II, the game introduces much faster network code and support for up to 64 players in a single game.
