Editorial Review: Be all you can be: become a Space Marine, and save the world. Quake II places you in the role of a generic Marine, the sole survivor of a last-ditch assault force sent against the Strogg's mysterious alien home world. Starting your mission with only a pistol, you'll eventually scavenge much more impressive weaponry from those less fortunate squad mates who didn't quite make it. Action fans will relish the BFG's (game manual's definition is "big, uh, freakin' gun") massive room-clearing discharge, while snipers will delight in the electromagnetic railgun's precise, devastating blast. You get to use these toys on all manner of nightmarish creatures, most of them cobbled together from the remains of your former comrades. In one of the game's least pleasant scenes, you fight your way through the bloody factory that assembles the piecemeal horrors.
Of course, if you're feeling a little more social, you can put off saving the world and opt for Quake II's multiplayer mode, which allows one, two, or three additional players to join in the action. There are four setups for the multiplayer mode, ranging from the standard everyone-for-themselves mode to capture the flag.
This first-person shooter has great graphics and sound that match the mood and fast-paced action of the game. Moreover, each level is unique and some are very large, resulting in a lack of monotony and great replay value. If you can take the intensity of the game's unrestricted violence, you'll enjoy the rich gameplay of Quake II. --Hugh Arnold

Rating: - Quake has graced the N64 twice in a row-but parents watch out!!!-
Quake II,in a way is like doom 64 except without the demons and such,is a really high grade N64 FPS,but it has it no no's details below.
1)The violance is very high and the gore is too.
2)There are dead partial eaten looking bodies in the first few levels of the
game.
3)With the ambient sounds and such are sure fire way to make your average 3-year-old/easy to scare people wet their pants.
note to parents: even if your kids beg like they've never begged before for this game,just say NO!!( even if they are 17 or older)

Rating: - Same Quake, different experience
Surprisingly I never got a chance to play the original on the computer, but the N64 version seems to portray the insanity well. As I understand it the weapons, enemies and level textures are the same, but the actual level designs are N64-exclusive, which is a neat touch. Much like the first Quake it's not a thinking man's shooter like Perfect Dark or GoldenEye, but there are some surprising elements such as the enemies that take potshots at you in their death throes. And while there's no online component, it offers a commendable split-screen experience.
The N64 did well with shooters, and Quake II is a solid addition to the library. My only real gripe is with the series itself; from this point on we lost the moody Gothic feel of the original for something much more sci-fi. Still, that may not matter when the enemies come tearing into you.
