DESCRIPTION
After successfully completing a mission in space, your ship was hit by a stray laser blast. You crash landed on an alien world, filled with countless buildings and cities. As you look around, you realize that the only way you're going to escape is to fight your way through it all, crumble this alien empire and ultimately destroy their hopes for advancement throughout the galaxy. The world is depending on your skills as a space marine to save all of mankind. Are you up to the task?
Quake II is the sequel to the smash hit Quake. The sequel features a brand new adventure that will have you swimming through the dark, murky cesspools of the alien world, entering and conquering various military-like bases and eliminating any resistance. You'll need a powerful arsenal of weapons, and luckily, you're supplied generously. Railguns, hyperblasters, grenade launchers and even a BFG (we all know what that means, don't we?) are all waiting to be found as are various items and armors to help you along the way. And of course, there is a multiplayer feature which adds so much life to this game, that people will be playing it for years to come. ~ Michael L. House, All Game Guide

“Revisited Q2, and relived the good old PC win days of the 90's---oh, about a month ago. Though I planned only 30 mins of play time, I ended up finishing the entire game. I still love Q2 over Q4....”

“This game is a sure classic. A little bit on the boring side when played too long, and too much, but still a classic.
The game has got basically nothing to do with it's predecessor other than being named Quake, and it is also a FPS game.
However, the graphics is a lot better, as well as you have new and better weapons, and of course who could forget the famous BFG 10K.
I won't be playing this game anytime soon, as it tends to be long, and it gets boring as soon as you reach the mines, also the game is fairly easy. But the game does deserve to receive a 4-star rating from me, since it improved the FPS genre.”

“Q2 was the first PC game that I ever got really obsessed over. Between Expert CTF and Action Quake2 mods, this game almost completely consumed my life for several years in the late 90s. I still rely on those skills in many of the games I play today.”

“Quake II is one of the original gems of PC gaming, if not just gaming itself. The graphics were pure gold for it's time (and really, they didn't age too bad). The soundtrack was killer. And the enemy types and guns were just huge. This is probably one of the best shooters to ever hit the scene and is still very much enjoyable to this day. The single player is incredible fun and can be played in co-op, much like all of the older id Software games. The game does have sort of the 'blue key' feel to some of the levels, but really, that added a bit to the game. Some may find that type of gameplay to be dated, but at least this makes a bit more sense rather just all doors being opened like today's games. Do aliens not have locks anymore? One of the coolest things about this game is having the a dead body attract flies to it (black pixels, to be exact) swarm bodies. It gives you a feel that there's stink in the game.
Multiplayer is amazing fun too, as it can host up to 64 players in arena style bliss. Using a service like Xfire of GameSpy, you can still play this game online and enjoy what many of us enjoyed years ago. There's still an active community and it's great to be able to tear it down, old skool, in this terrific game.”

“Its pretty hard to top the multi-player gameplay from this game when it was in its prime. I enjoyed this game even more than Quake 3 Arena, which was dedicated to multi-player. The single-player was good, but the multi-player is probably dead now.”

“Played Quake 2 when it was released. Nowadays only the mods. Played the mod called Action Quake 2 from 2002 and still love it. Anyway really like Quake 2 (+mods) because of the action and the gameplay.”

“Q2 Weapons Factory is the best FPS evar. The level design and MP gameplay were years ahead of it's time. Grappling hook anyone?”
