QUAKE 4 REVIEW:  Making use if id software's Doom 3 engine, Quake 4 starts (or continues if you like) the story right from the instant Quake II ends. You play the role of Mathew Kane, newly assigned to Rhino Squad and one of thousands of Marines assaulting the Strogg home world immediately following the fall of the Strogg leader. As you and your squad head to the planet's surface, your drop ship is brought down by a missile and you soon awake to find yourself lying in the twisted shuttle wreckage as the battle rages on around you. From the outset, the Doom 3 engine is taken out of the dark, cramped, indoor confines of the Mars base station and allows players to see what power and beauty was hidden during the majority of Doom 3. Quake 4 starts you under a strange alien sky, fighting in trenches but you will find yourself moving inside for an equal amount of time, as objectives dictate. It's a far cry from the last time we went toe to toe with the Strogg and they are more gruesome than ever.
