Total score: MEH
The only great thing about this is the mouse movement. It's always so snappy and responsive in id engines. A joy to play. Too bad the games have sucked hard recently :)

DVD edition comes with the full version of Quake 2 and all of it's expansion packs. Plus, you won't need to switch disks during the install, which is nice.
This is a steal, since the DVD edition is still going for $60 on EBGames.com.

Why the hell couldn't they release it this time through? I mean, turning on MP and seeing it doesn't work sounds like it would be something you at least test before you set the demo loose.

The level design was really bland - almost everything was on one level, you can play through both levels without ever even using the jump key (I'm not asking for jumping puzzles or anything, but it was just so flat). I'm sure there are better levels in the full game (there would have to be) but this is what they chose to show us :/
Of the four weapons (pistol, assault rifle, nailgun, shotgun), only one had an alt-fire (zoom on the rifle) and there's no melee attack for any of them - boo urns.
The NPC interaction was uninteresting too, they either jabber at you for a few seconds (blah, blah, go here) or follow you from point A to B (I don't recall hearing any chatter from the AI when they follow you, but maybe they were lagging too far behind and I couldn't hear them).
I want to say something positive, but really - after playing through the demo, I just went straight for the uninstall :(
i might purchase it once it hits the bargain bin (for the mp), but other than that, we pretty much played this game.
thats pretty weird, i love the quake series and got all of them xpansion pks, and i love soldier of fortune series, so why im i hating on this game?

I felt it was like Doom 3... IN SPACE. Which isn't a terrible thing, it just fails to excite me anymore. D3 was probably the last old-school shooter that I could stand.
