Quake 4 - good thing it was free!

after playing the first 3 maps:

I guess the Doom3 source code really was leaked.

Unoriginal linear fucking mindfuck of monsters all conveniently placed to jump out at you.

map 1: walk the only path, killing monsters all the way. get objective to go back, killing -new- monsters all the way.... only to have to go back, killing yet more new monsters all the way.

oh, and it looks exactly like doom 3, without the flashlight.

F.E.A.R., although the lame name, is a freaking awesome game.

I like Quake 4 quite a bit more than Doom 3. The storyline is better and things don't ambush you nearly as much. I have only played the first few levels but I like it. Most of the mobs I have seen are ranged mobs with guns. I also like the fact that you can have computer controlled squad mates who seem intelligent and can heal and recharge your armor. The graphics are really good as well.

My gripe with Quake 4 is that it's the most linear game I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. They don't even try to fool you into thinking there might be an alternate path. It's a hallway. You can't float through the wall to your left. You can't slide through the wall to your right. Backwards is the place you just came from. Ooooh, you can go forwards!
