Quake IV Review
Quake IV adds to the already deep FPS line-up the 360 has. Can it provide the non-stop action the series is known for? Or would it just fizzle into obscurity.

December 01, 2005

id Software is well known around the PC community and now wants to make a presence on the Xbox 360. id Software is among the elite FPS developers in the industry and have a long list of creditability to their fame. Working on franchises such as DOOM, Wolfenstein and Quake, they are respectable and no one can deny their success with the FPS genre. They recently developed 2004・s DOOM 3 (released in 2005 for the Xbox) and worked on the expansion, DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil with Nerve Software. Now it・s finally time for their third FPS franchise, Quake, to be revived once again for the next-generation of consoles.
Raven Software is the .actual・ developer of Quake IV. What I mean is that id Software has taken the executive developer position watching over development while Raven took the seat as the developer. Raven and id have worked together in several instances in the past both Heretic games and Hexen. Raven・s latest title they released happens to be the sequel to their highly praised X-Men Legend series.



Quake IV is among Raven・s best storylines they dished out. That isn・t saying much though as Raven just recently focused on fleshing out the storylines in their games (X-Men Legends series) and always focused on the core gameplay. Playing as Matthew Kane, you・re of course pitted in the role of the typical marine that can be found in any other Quake and DOOM game. The villains in this story you ask? None other than a nightmarish alien race called the Strogg. The Strogg will decimate your squad one by one and you・ll begin to hate them.

Immediately when the game begins, the leader of the Strogg is killed in battle. Though you don・t see any type of portrayal of his death, you・ll hear it through the dialogue. Following those events (the events are actually from Quake II) the Strogg are now trying to rebuild a new leader/Makron. With the new leader down, you・ll be sent in an invasion of the Strogg planet that proves to be successful but yet deadly. Kane is captured during a firefight and taken to the Strogg laboratories for the transformation process. The transformation process you ask? The Strogg intend on turning you, Michael Kane, into one of them. Before they insert the brain implants and finish their wild experiment, your Marine squad comes busting in to save the day.
