A Complex Game NOT for those with No Attention Span!

By DaveTheJackal (play.com) Read the full review

One reviewer gives the PC version one star and says it "turned into Quake 3 death match with vehicles", rubbish. Another ex-battlefield player claims it's 'glitchy', as a battlefield veteran myself I can tell you that compared with the battlefield...

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

By IDG staff (pcadvisor.co.uk)

With Halo 3 already in people's grasp, it's possible that Quake Wars will be ignored, which is too bad - because it's such a blast to play.

Splash Damage has done a bang-up job of crafting a fun and addictive team-based FPS experience. I feel like I've barely scratched the surface and can't wait to dig deeper into what the game truly has to offer. I hope lots of players buy the game and...

First-time players may feel discouraged, but hardcore gamers will love this.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Xbox 360 Review

By Chris Wigham (consoleob.com)

If you're more of a lone wolf, then the team based shooter may not be for you. If your entire team was made up of selfish people, it wouldn't be much of a team now would it? It's all about working to the strengths of your chosen class as you struggle...

So when all is said and done Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is a well crafted multiplayer experience with much to like, although whilst the review may have come across as mostly positive so far, the game may be a little too limited for some. There’s three...

If you are willing to pay for a fine multiplayer experience, then Enemy Territory: Quake Wars might be it, although there's games that do both a great campaign and multiplayer for the same price. My advice is to wait for the game to hit the bargain...

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (Xbox 360) review

When you think about consoles and online together, only one thing should really enter your mind, and that is Xbox Live. The service really did justice for the console market; it showed how a dedicated online service could work for a console. There was...

The other group will be people who have played the PC game, or have a decent gaming PC machine. If you are in this group then it's easy to tell you that you should stick to the superior PC version. If you?ve not played it on the PC and have a decent...

t get me started on how awful the GameCube's online attempt was. All you needed to do was make a Gamertag and then every game that had an online featured would use your Gamertag to ID you in the game. It worked wonders and was taken one step further...

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Review

There was a time when any game with Quake in the title would have caused a flurry of activity from its publishers marketing department with constant new updates, screenshots and videos. However, with this console version of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars...

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars may not be the greatest looking multiplayer orientated game, but it does provide an excellent playing experience, which for me is a better measure of a game. The action can be intense which can lead to epic battles between...

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

By Straybolt (gamesxtreme.net)

Straybolt earns his keep as a GDF soldier in the on-going war against the Strogg as he puts ET-Quake Wars through its paces.

For those of you that like the Battlefield style games, this is the perfect compliment to those titles. It leaves them in the dust as well, considering the sheer amount of dynamic objectives and things to do.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

By Paul Newcombe (play.tm)

Having been fully submerged in the wonderfully bright and fun filled world of Team Fortress 2 for a few weeks, it came as something of a shock to boot up Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and find myself back in the cliched world of earnestly macho marines...

Thankfully for newbies and those who want some extra practice you can play the game offline against AI controlled bots. While they never match the feeling of playing with living breathing people they're more than good enough to help you learn the maps...

It's not that there's anything inherently wrong with that familiar setup, and it's not like a game set in the Quake universe had much choice in the matter. But in a post Orange Box world Valve's refreshingly light hearted take on the genre ensures that...

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (PlayStation 3)

By (cnet.com)

When Enemy Territory: Quake Wars was released in October 2007 on the PC, it was lauded as a feverish multiplayer shooter for its objective-based action set in id Software's rich Quake universe. Naturally, console gamers wanted a piece of the...

The results? Console owners are subjected to two lackluster ports that fail to improve or expand upon the original in any way, making the game feel dated next to worthwhile console shooters such as Call of Duty 4 and Rainbow Six: Vegas 2. Something was...
