We know who the characters are. Before long, we know every nook and cranny of each level. Now, it's pure adrenaline, spirit of competition and the joy of slaughter. Some of the levels, in particular the early levels, are a tad on the unimaginative side. Then again, one of the earliest levels features a giant tongue emerging from a wall.
Players can climb up inside the tongue, waiting for the opponent to pass by.
And, despite the simplicity of some of the levels, it looks great and plays smooth. The game also allows those of us who graduated from the PC version to use the new Sega keyboard and mouse, or the standard Dreamcast joystick. As of this writing, Dreamcast players are able to play each other on SegaNet. Soon, PC Quakers will be able to download the Sega game maps, allowing for cross-platform deathmatches. As good as the Quake games are, some of us find the Unreal series infinitely more compelling.
