Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is a first-person shooter video game, and is the follow-up to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. However, it is set in the same science fiction universe as Quake II and Quake 4, with a back-story serving as a prequel to Quake II. It is the second multiplayer-focused game in the Quake series (after Quake III Arena). Quake Wars features similar gameplay to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, but with the addition of controllable vehicles and aircraft, asymmetric teams, much larger maps and the option of computer-controlled bots. Unlike the previous Enemy Territory game, Quake Wars is a commercial release rather than a free download.

bit-tech Review

"The game itself rewards team play and a certain amount of role playing, but I'm not sure whether your average foul-mouthed teenaged console online gamer is capable of that level of control. In a way, this is not so much a criticism of the game, more a criticism of the kind of player you find in online console matches.

PC gamers may be rubbing their hands in glee, for Enemy Territory confirms what they've believed all along – if you've already got the PC version, there's absolutely no reason why you should torture yourself with the console version.

In fact, even if you don't have the PC version, there's still no reason why you should torture yourself with the console version.

Awkward control, repetitive missions, strange XP rules and uninspiring graphics mean that you should only really pick this up if you're really desperate for some online gaming." - 1st June 2008
