Quake 3 Arena (DC) Reviews

One of my all time favourite FPS games is without a doubt Quake 3 Arena, and whilst I played it largely on the PC, for the sake of ease of use, I did also buy it for the Dreamcast, and it was a huge console revolution for the ability to play the game online. The game's success then opened the floodgates for later consoles such as the PS2 to ...  Read the complete review

If you're a PC user then it's very likely that you haven't even heard of DC Quake III. This is because it's for the Dreamcast - an unfortunate failure. I started playing DC Quake III in May 2001 and I haven't stopped since. No other game has kept me happy for so long and that's including Shenmue and Final ...  Read the complete review

If you`ve ever played Quake III on the PC, then you`ve already played this and know exactly what to expect. If not, then continue reading the opinion. The game itself is quite simple. You are a warrior who has been abducted by aliens, and is made to fight other warriors in areana after arena, trying to become the best fighter of all ...  Read the complete review

Wow. Give the kids at Raster a raise. The new interface they slapped together for the Dreamcast is nothing short of awesome. Not quite a P733 with a Voodoo3, but it is more than adequate. Certainly up there with console gaming's best looking FPS titles. There's nothing quite like the sound of a railgun a split second before you blow an ...  Read the complete review

When I first played Wolfenstein 3D on the PC I absolutely loved it. It had everything and the atmosphere was amazing. Well, back then anyway. Id were the first people to make what was then called the corridor game. The massive following of wolfenstenin 3D soon moved to the next masterpiece created by the team, Doom. And instant classic, Doom sold ...  Read the complete review

I've been waiting well over a year to get my Dreamcast on-line action up and running and Quake 3: Arena is quite obviously the game that will have people from all over the world blowing eachothers heads off, fantastic! I was gonna wait for Phantasy Star On-line or Unreal Tournament, but after reading a review in a magazine I shot down ...  Read the complete review

ID Software have a track record of creating amazing 3d shoot em ups. It all started of with Wolfenstein, though this wasn't the game to shock the world of gaming. Doom was the game that shook the world. If you had a PC, you had Doom... and then there was Ultimate Doom and Doom 2 etc. You could design your own levels and get ...  Read the complete review

Wahay! Its Quake 3, offspring of the holy game that began the big craze in fragging - Doom. And its come to the Dreamcast at last. Being a PC owner, I played Quake3 when it was in its testing stages and was impressed with its nice lighting effects and groovy levels. What a pleasant supprise to find that my pal the Dreamcast was ...  Read the complete review

I have finaly managed to pull myself away from the wonder that is Quake III on the DC to post a review. It is quite a remarkable acheivment to produce a game of this quality on Sega's little box of tricks. I would go as far as saying that this is the best DC game this year. It is what DC owners have been waiting for, an online gaming epic. I ...  Read the complete review

made for multiplayer, but 1 player is good too. single player: pick 1 of 70 characters and then you get thrown into an arena with a number of enemies(1,2 or 3 at a time). your goal is to kill them all over and over again before the time is up, or until you get to the frag limmit, which is different with every level.eg, the first level is ...  Read the complete review

I would like to tell you all about possibly one of the best shoot em up p.c. conversions that has ever arrived on the dreamcast. This is a hugely addictive game that will keep u fragin' away for hours. The brill thing is you don't have to worry about graphic cards and stuff like that, u just bung it in you're dreamcast and ...  Read the complete review

you’re a PC owner then it’s highly unlikely that you have never heard of the likes of Unreal, Half Life or Doom. Apart from these there is also the Quake series from ID software. Quake and Quake 2 were very good games in their own right but after years of very little progress, this wonder of a game turned up. ...  Read the complete review

The greatest PC to console conversion ever has arrived, and all of you lucky Dreamcast owners can experience the world of online gaming through Quake 3 Arena! I think this has to be the most authentic game I have ever played, and the online element just adds to Q3A's supremacy. Graphically stunning, although the characters could ...  Read the complete review

In a world of spectacular plots (Shenmue, Resident Evil) Detailed gaming worlds (Zelda) and movie tie ins (Star Wars) we sometimes forget that the best games are often based around the simplest of premises. Tetris, Bust a Move, Doom and of course now ...Quake 3. Its (for anybody who lives on Mars in a small cave with corks in their ears) ...  Read the complete review

Quake III is a near perfect conversion from its former version on the PC. Quake 3 Arena looks almost as good as its PC brother, the only real difference being screen resolution, which can't be helped. The graphics engine in the Dreamcast really comes to life in Q3A; it performs as well as a PC with a Voodoo3. With smooth ...  Read the complete review

Finally. The game that your Dreamcast was made for has arrived. Quake III Arena has more blood, guts & kills than you can shake a stick at. Sega's promise of "up to 6 billion players" was seen as a bit optimistic when the DC came out, but with Quake III, the ultimate on-line gaming contest is about to begin. Sega ...  Read the complete review

This is definitely the best multiplayer game on the Dreamcast. I have only just got this game and so far it is excellent, they really took time in making this game, the levels are perfect the graphics are very smooth and the artificial intelligence is the best! Basically this game is a first person shooter, you can play online or ...  Read the complete review

Quake 3 Arena is quite possibly the greatest multiplayer Dreamcast game so far. It is a PC port but is so much better on Dreamcast it is unbelievable! The graphics are crystal clear and the frame rate is fantastic even in multiplayer games. The single player is great fun but is easy to complete, but multiplayer gaming is far better and is ...  Read the complete review

In the begining was the word and the word was 'Wolfenstein 3D'. And ID software looked at the word and saw that it was good. But over time they realised that the word was flawed and so remodelled, reworked and remade into the living, pulsing flesh that was DOOM. The people were amazed and computers the length and breadth of the land payed ...  Read the complete review
