You are now surrounded by more or less credible settings. Cool, huh? That last bit also points out another area were Q2 improves over the original: detail. and you also get a small modicum of immersion a la C&C Renegade, for instance: you see ships fighting around, explosions, heck, you'll even be rejoined with your marine buddies, now helpless and completely traumated p.o.w.s. you have mission objectives which often involve going back & forth between some levels, briefings, inventory, etc. Paper-thin? Sure, but it's something! They even threw in some pre-rendered cutscenes, and they incorporated the story in the gameplay to a certain extent, ie. However everything goes to the crapper and you get separated from your team, thus your mission is to survive and make contact with HQ and eventually (once you find per standard shooter requirements that you are the last hope of all the universe) go for the Strogg leader. There is an actual attempt at a plot here, what with some alien threat and you being a space marine (hmm were have I heard that before?) shot into the Strogg's (bad aliens) planet to kick ass and take names. Eventually I did get my hands on it, and though it's not the best game ever it's still a pretty good classic-styled shooter. ![]() I must admit that this caught me completely off-guard at the time, and when the game came out I planned to shrug it off and wait for the first real game that used the Q2 engine. The game did show itself like a Quake game should, by bringing new cool ideas to the table, which influenced a lot of game developers later.Īn actual game? You mean with a halfway decent singleplayer and multiplayer portion designed BESIDES the techy wow-wow? Surely you jest! Nope. This game may not be a Quake sequel, but it is good enough to be one. The most disappointing thing in the game has to be that it actually isn't a sequel to Quake, and it may even be that we will never even have one.īut that's not a problem by itself to be honest, in fact, this is my only serious complaint about this game, other than that, the game is very good. The game originally had a quite weak multiplayer deathmatch mode, but it was fixed with patches shortly after. There are lots of types of enemies in the game, as well as a huge weapons arsenal and several capable items. The campaign itself is huge, includes secrets in it as well and has objectives to complete in it, so this is already a very serious tactical first person shooter. The game has a very interesting single player campaign, where you can run from a level to the previous level if you want, similar to Half-Life, which is another thing which makes it look real. Just like Quake 1, the game has a powerfully good audio, weapons sound powerful, enemies sound hostile and the soundtrack in the background this time really fits the atmosphere, unlike Quake 1 did. Also the epic environments are astonishing. The graphics are really impressive, the monsters look great, and the added feature when you shoot the monster so he has less than 50% of its HP, he already has wounds and blood all over him, all the weapons and effects made by them and the behavior of the AI make this game look very real. ![]() The step in further technology from Quake to Quake 2, is almost as from Doom to Quake.

Overlord takes the battle to the Strogg homeworld with the ultimate objective of securing their capital city and killing their ruler.Īs a FPS, Quake II contains a variety of weapons including the fall back Blaster, the Railgun, and the secret BFG10K. The Strogg alien race threatens the Earth, but Earth has launched a counter-offensive, Operation Alien Overlord.
