Quake 4 takes you back to the front as you fight against an unrelenting alien enemy. Armed with advanced weaponry and vehicles and aided by an elite squad of marines, you take the battle to the heart of the Strogg home planet and become Earth's only hope for victory. They're regrouping but with their planetary defenses ruined, you have a chance to deliver a full and final assault. You are Matthew Kane, an elite member of Rhino Squad, and part of Earth's next invasion wave. With the Makron assumed dead, your squad is taking part in an operation to take advantage of the disarray and mop up the rest of the enemy forces on the Strogg planet. But your drop ship gets hit and comes down hard, killing a large chunk of your squadmates at the opening of the game. From there, you'll pull yourself up out of the muck and get down to business.
Best Quake Yet (2007-06-01)
I was concerned about getting a graphics based game for a Mac (traditionally not a gaming machine), however the Intel chipset and Universal software made for a great gaming experience.
id software got it right (2007-04-19)
Those of us who are fortunate enough to have a mac, and have ever played Doom 3 on it will know that Doom 3, id softwares last games was horrible. No plot, monsters jumping every which way out of closets, and who knows where else. Let me get this striagh, this is totally different. No dark hallways where you can see the gun in front of you, no more ambushes by zombies and demons and whatnot, Quake 4 is an awesome, incredible shooter. The voice acting and constant action combine to make a gaming experience that no other game can match. If you have a Mac, this is a game you must get.
Quake 4 great game (2006-08-23)
If you have a computer able to run it, get it. some of the boss' are pretty tough, but it is a good game. If only Marathon ran on OSX.

End of an era. (2006-06-30)
I owned Wolfenstein 3D on my 486, back in 1993. I like first person shooters.
I barely played through the introductory level of Q4. Graphics performance is consistently crappy on both my MacBook Pro 17 and my dual G5 2ghz; what systems are they testing?!
Big disappointment.
