The Successor to DOOM Isn't a Great SuccessDec 28, 1999
Quake is a DOOM-like game from the makers of DOOM that attempts to claim the throne of DOOM as best first-person shooter, but falls short. The graphics are nice, but aren't very detailed or varied, and the enemy design isn't very good. The soundtrack is pretty subtle, and isn't all that great, and the sound effects are only okay, but aside from all of those things, it's a nice blast-a-thon with some interesting levels and weapons. Give it a try if you enjoy DOOM or Duke Nukem. That's my two cents.

QUAKE is a thrilling, chilling, nerve-shredding experienceNov 11, 1999
There needs to be more games on the N64 like quake. Games that chill you and give you the occasional jump. The music for this game is very professional, and it could even be its own soundtrack. The music really added to the dark, netherworldish enviorment of the game. If you get into really deep thought in the game, you'll get that feeling like your falling down inside, and your eyes will begin to water, and you'll suddenly shudder. I am writing a book about Quake, and I can't get past the fact that it keeps me up at night, shuddering. . . and wondering what's in the dark .. . . . .

A fun game with cool graphicsAug 25, 2001
Quake is a fun game but it is awfully violent. Young children probably shouldent play it because they might get scared or grossed out. But it is a good choice for people who enjoy this type of game. It probably will get you frustrated at certain points such as the Wizards Manse. Which was a hard level for me. But you should have fun playing it. The multiplayer mode is a bit weak with only two players at a time, but it is still fun.

Old-School FPS!May 22, 2011
By Devbinks Gameplay (Single-Player): Familiar with DOOM? Well, this plays in a very similar manner- Go around levels, collecting keys to open doors, and fragging any creature that dares to get in your way. Simple idea, sure. But, if you're like me, and you just love to blow up baddies and watch their giblets fly, you will be one happy gamer.
Now, I played through on "Easy" and beat the game in one day. However, there are higher difficulty levels which I'm sure would have significantly extended the amount of time it took to be the game.
Controls: Perfect, considering you can TOTALY customise the controls to your liking! More games need this. Main difference between this and DOOM is that you can jump in Quake.
Graphics: I own Quake for the PC, Sega Saturn, and N64. Unfortunately, the N64 version is the only one to suffer from blurry textures. This blur effectively wipes all textures of their smaller details. That, combined with the fact that the environments have more simplified architecture than in the PC and Saturn versions, sometimes leaves the game to appear very dull. However, if your are not overly-familiar with the PC or Saturn versions, this may not be as noticable to you.
Sound: Not much to say here. The sfx and bgm are adequate. Nothing outstanding or horrible. However, Trent Reznor's work is not in this port.
Overall: Despite the poor quality textures and dumbed down level architecture, Quake for the N64 is a great old-school FPS experience. So, if you like games like DOOM, definitely pick this one up! It is more than worth $3 you can get it for here at Amazon.
