ET: Quake Wars for 360.

So, I rented a copy of ET: Quake Wars. I was a pretty big fan of RTCW and Wolfenstien Enemy Territory, so it only seemed right that I at least give this PC port a try.

All I can say is, what a half assed PC port.

First off the graphics are very dated. The game itself does not look bad, but it has no style and it is all very dark. Oh and draw distance? Forget about it. And the explosions look like there from Duke Nukem 3D.

Controls...not bad, but not very accurate or responsive.

Sound, besides the voice commands there are probably only 35 diffrent sound effects in this game.

I dont really have high standards for most games, and this games not awful but its a very good example of how badly you can fuck up a PC port. And did I mention this game only supports up to 16 players? Yeah, lame.

Rent this game please. If anything, there are a shit load of achivement points if you just run through all the campaign mode on medium...but even so, its still barley worth the time.

Was the original PC game any better than the port or is it really just a shitty port?

@razerangel: I read IGN's review as soon as it came up simply because they gave the PC version a glowing review but they agreed in that it was a real cruddy port. They apparently took away all of the distinct classes and leveling ability of the PC version, which was why I was interested in it in the first place as I, too, loved Enemy Territory.

They also said the graphics and textures were poor, bad framerate, the whole shebang. Pretty much a really lackluster effort, especially for a whole $60. They suggested just spending half as much and picking up the PC version, which I may do now.

Sad.
