****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: I have never played the PC version of Quake, but I was
a huge fan of Doom.  Since I loved Doom, I figured that I would love this 
game.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: Quake plays just like every other First-Person-Shooter.
You have to get from point A to point B without dying.  You will have to kill
enemies, flip switches, collect keys, and open doors to solve the puzzles 
that will await you.   
Liked: Killing the enemies up close and then seeing their bodies explode into
bloody little pieces.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: This version of Quake looks as good as the PC version 
did, maybe even better.  The enemies are large and well-detailed.  There's 
also lighting effects galore.  The 3-D interiors look great.  The graphics 
will impress you.     
Liked: Cool enemies.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: The music in Quake is okay.  There's really only 1
song in the entire game, which is played between levels.  Instead of in-game 
music, there's a soundtrack of noises which leads to an uneasy feeling when 
playing this game.  It's very spooky.  The sound fx are good.  I only wish 
this game was in Surround Sound. 
Liked: Cool Soundtrack.
Hated: No Surround Sound Support. 

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: Quake controls very well.  The controls are 
automatically set up like Goldeneye, but they can be customized any way you
please.  The game design is solid, but the 2-player deathmatches are 
horrible.  
Liked: Great controls.
Hated: 2-player deathmatches.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Add 4-player deathmatches, 2-player Co-op mode, Surround Sound 
support.

RIYL: Doom 64, Goldeneye, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Quake is an awesome game.  It's actually kinda scary to play.  
The difficulty is just right.  The visuals are great, the audio is great, 
everything about this game is great.
