Manufacturer Description
After years of waging war against the alien aggressors. Earth is on the verge of being completely obliterated. One last effort to bring the mass destruction to an end is underway. You are part of a secret assault force sent to fight your way through heavily fortified military installations in order to lower the aliens defenses and shut down their war machine. Only then can Earth hope to launch an air assault. Only then will the fate of all humanity be known. Crawl through shafts. Blow up dimly lit subways and explore the dangeous shadows of moody, immersive 3D environments. Perform complex 20 mission based levels, armed with hard-core weaponry as you obliterate the alien dregs of the universe. Smooth 3-D models move like there's no tomorrow -- in your case it might be true. Killer effects allow you to wreak underwater devastation, shatter windows, and blast away into dramatically lit environments. Become a well-oiled macine by modifying PlayStation gameplay variables for superior running, walking, jumping and firing control. Save set-ups of a fully configurable controller for enhanced movement, weapon aiming and viewing. Stay up-to-date on damage and weapons effects with dual analog and dual shock analog support. Features two- and four-player quad screen fragfests in newly designed deathmatch levels.

Editorial Review
The unabashedly bloody and violent shooter that has splattered PC screens since its release has come to roost on the PlayStation. Yeah, it's awfully gratuitous. No, you shouldn't let the kids play. But darn it if this game isn't a sure-fire hit that depends on pure, visceral action. For those who haven't been shaken by this computer megahit, it's your basic cavernous hallway crawl populated by biotech alien bad guys who want nothing more than to make you expire. For your enjoyment, you are given a virtual armory of ridiculously powerful devices with which to destroy your attackers. Expect gore, and lots of it.

Surprisingly, disc loading times in midlevel are short, and the movement is fluid with fast frame rates. Also, the control using the dual shock game pad is very well implemented, although for the small percentage of PlayStation owners who bought a mouse for the system, this game is compatible. In fact, Quake II makes the purchase of a mouse a worthwhile decision. Multiplayer games excel, even with tedious split screens. Rather than letting you save your progress anywhere, the game has specific saving points within each level, and enough of them so that you won't be too frustrated. --Jeff Young

Pros:
One of the best first-person shooters on the PlayStation
Vertigo-inducing realism
Great use of PlayStation controllers and optional mouse

Cons:
Incredibly violent
