Quarantine

The Good
A doom clone with a storyline, how novel (Hey, Quake Developers, get over here, something to look at, a FPS with a plot, how REVOLUTIONARY)

DOOM on WHEELS

Evil-Crazy-Taxi!

The Bad
Its a Bitch to get running.

The Bottom Line
Quarantene is quite simply, DOOM on wheels, or GTA in the First person.

As a Humble cabbie of Kemo City, a once prosporous city, with high crime, that was turned into a escape from NY/LA style prison by the evil omnicorp corporation, its your job to get the hell out of there before the Plauge (which turns you into a homocidical maniac that wants to kill anything that isnt a homocidical maniac) gets you.

Going through a variety of levels, from the Downtown core, to the Cities Graveyard, amoung ferrying passengers, Packages have to be delivered, bad dudes eliminated, guns need to be bought, your taxi repared, etc. The Goal, to get enough cash to bribe the guard at Kemo's only gate, and get the hell out of there.

GET IT, Highly recomended. Great for fans of FPSs, Crazy Taxi, Shadowrun, Fallout, Privateer, and GTA

The Good
This game is perfect! * Action, CONSTANT action. * Living environment. You aren't the only action, there's just ACTION! * An environment that is full of detail and character. Each map is HUGE and are just rich with bright building, streets full of pedestrians and cars, their own hoods with their own styles and flow. * Missions that are exciting and fast paced. If you know the secret to getting through the plot as fast as possible (never miss a fare, and every other fare will be a mission) you end up going on INSANE, funny, deadly, and blood filled missions, no two of them alike. Like running over porta potties until you find the old mayor and run him down. * HUGE weapon inventory. I don't think I ever came close to using all the weapons in the game. When you outfitted your car, the options were staggering * So much style. So much style to this game. Nothing was an afterthought. They really put effort in to capturing their world. * CD Audio! This was, like, a first! * Great MUSIC. I still listen to the soundtrack. * So much replay-ability. I was so good at the missions, that I'd blow through the game way to fast. The only way to just casually drive around and pick up fairs was to eject all the plot fares through the roof! * Silly, unserious, irreverent, and totally fun

The Bad
That it's dead :-(

The Bottom Line
If I could choose only one game in the world, and insist that a gamer with guts play it, it would be this one.

The Good
It is very fast paced, and also very gory.. but instead of the usual rip-the-guts-off-a-civilian it's more like maniacal, since you basically drive over every pedestrian you see and put the flamethrower and the sawblade to good use...

The Bad
The game can be a mess sometimes, not only graphically but sometimes the stupid taxicab gets stuck into things and the driving takes some time to learn. Also the passenger time limits get very annoying in a bit.. and the game, finally, is quite repetitive.

The Bottom Line
A fun 3d shooter disguised into a driving game where you blast the living xxxx out any and everyone you see.
