Quake Live Game Review

Introduction

Quake is a first person shooter game which consists of killing anything that will come in the way of the player and will result in them losing. The game consists of rules that the player must abide by when playing. As well as that the player has a goal of collecting weapons, armour, and health and also power up that would increase their chances of succeeding.

Story

The story of the game is quite simple as it is structured in a way that players would be using a map as a guide also having to run around with weapons to kill anything that comes in the way. The game doesn’t consist of levels; it however does record the player’s kills/deaths, wins/losses. By having a variety of weapons that the player can choose from, different types of missions as well as having options whether to play with multi players or not makes it that more interesting for the players. This means that there is a higher chance for players to be drawn into the game as the game comes with a wide range of options that best suit the player as well as it having an option to customize/change their avatar, which allows the user to relate to the protagonist.   

Game play

Quake Live is a fast paced action game play which meant players were drawn into the game more, resulting them to being immersed as the players would co so fixated to the game that they would only result to them losing track of time. However the game could be improved a lot more making it better for the player, as there were things like the quality of the graphics that could have been improved to make it more eye catching as the quality was just dull and simple.  Adding to that the controllers to the game was rather complicated and the weapons given at the start of the game wasn’t so useful, for example he machine gun required constant shooting just to kill, as well as that players had to quickly change weapons many times during the game making it harder for players to get comfortable to use certain weapons.

Graphics

The graphic of the game is rather dull and simple, not only that but the graphics have also been used repeatedly in many areas making it predictable and not so eye catching. During the close ups the game is much more clear and has a better quality making it easier for the player to feel at ease and continue playing the game without facing any difficulties in terms of the visual aspects of the game.

Sound

the sound in the game does in some ways help to actually immerse players in the game environment, as it captures their attention a lot more as it helps bring the experience to a whole new level for the players making them feel like they are actually in the game and actually participating so in other words it helps create an artificial reality for the players.

Conclusion

In conclusion I think the game overall is quite fun to play with and it can easily get players drawn into the game due to its missions that it involves, as well as the format of the game and not forgetting the wide range of options it gives to the players. Also the fact that it allows players to customize their own avatar gives the game a higher advantage of getting more users to play as most people love to customize as it gives them a bit of power. However, it would be better if the games graphical aspects were improved as well as quality wise, adding to that if the controls to the game was made much more easy and having clear and understandable instructions would have been a lot more better making it easy for players especially beginners.

Summary

Quake is quite simple and a fair game making it easier for immerse players to be captured into the game.

The structure/format of the game is very repetitive.
