Video Game Reviews of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
Customer Review: Something was lost
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall, this game is a fantastic combination of infantry and armor. There is plenty of room for strategy, and many variations on approaches to accomplishing the missions.
However, there seems to be something lost from the original Enemy Territory game. Something changed while updating that dimmed the addictive-ness. It is probably just my perception of it. Unfortunately, I've had more fun with Call of Duty 4, despite it's repetitive nature and lack of objective focus.
Customer Review: few maps or balance
Summary: 2 Stars
Well I've played all of the Unreal Tournament games and most of the quake games so I'm a fair judge of FPSs. This game doesn't really have many maps or modes of play. It tries to add some elements from Battlefield 2142 but kinda fails, you don't even keep you extra skill from one battle to the next, so you start from scratch each time. The strog have vehicles that make the human ones look like jokes in how fast they fire and how much damage they do. The graphics are really nice though and it doesn't seem to tax my graphics card as much as some other games do. For all you get in it, it should be a mid budget game of $29.95 and not more.Customer Review: QUAKE!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Enemy Territory has arrived with an atomic bang. The quake universe is now chronicled in this intense action shooter. The Design of the game makes team mates work together to clench victory and survive. Its the ultimate team based Online shooter.Customer Review: So lame I'm selling it...
Summary: 1 Stars
I received this game as a gift and it simply wasn't very much fun. Gameplay is unrealistic and hyperactive. I honestly didn't bother learning much about the in-game goals or teamwork...it just wasn't interesting or involving enough to dedicate the time.
I enjoy FPS games and just beat COD4 and I'm working on Bioshock and Crysis...none of these are phenomenal (when compared to HL2) but all are better than QW:ET.
Customer Review: Completely underrated. Fantastic team-based FPS.
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't believe how many people don't play this game. The gameplay is so addictive I'm reluctant to play it because I know I won't be able to stop until I've passed out.
Every time I play the same campaign, the outcomes are completely different. This is because the game is totally contingent upon team dynamics. If your team has good communication, proper class distribution, and the right skills you will win, but if your team is comprised of a bunch of lone-stars, you will get no where. This forces you to play through many different classes, and use many different skills from infiltration, shooting, sniping, driving vehicles, creating traps, etc.
The distinctions between Strogg and GDF are subtle but make a profound difference in gameplay. The primary weapons for each side offer unique benefits and drawbacks (such as the different methods of reloading between the lacerator and assault rifle). The strogg technician and GDF medic are parallel classes but play totally differently. Each side also has different vehicles and special abilities that create a well-balanced, yet diverse playing experience.
The teamwork in Quake Wars is much more intuitive and easy to comprehend than BF2's. The objectives are clearly laid out, and you can choose which objective you want to pursue. It is also made clearer by the fact that the objectives are typically connected to your class, which creates distinct roles for every character and ultimately facilitates teamwork because everyone knows what they're supposed to do.
There is also a great element of strategy in this game. Where you drop your defense-turrets, how and when you call in artillery strikes, etc. make the game feel somewhat like an RTS. There is so much depth to the gameplay.
Finally, the graphics are so nice to look at and the game is playable on older machines (albeit on low settings). However, even if you are dropping the image quality, you'll forget about the graphics because you'll be so immersed in the actual game - which is something many recent FPS games lack!
