Timeless classic!

Absolute classic fast paced arena shooter with DM/TDM/CTF, supports bots, I have doubts humans still play it online. But pricing is too expansive for almost 25 years old game.

Too expensive for 1999

Quake 3 is absolutely amazing, but I mean c'mon $20 for something that came out almost 21 years ago? I've seen some modern games going for cheaper than that. Albeit I did get this on sale for $11, so I'm lucky. I'm pretty sure the main reason for this price tag is the inclusion of Team Arena, which in all honesty ain't that good compared to the base game, so you're basically getting Quake 3 with a useless addon. If you're gonna get this too, make sure to download a source port. That way you get Anisotropic Filtering, widescreen support and Ant-Aliasing. I would recommend either ioQuake3 or Spearmint.

Quake III Takes a Hit via Price

Loved Quake III Arena via CD ROM and Sega Dreamcast in the early 2000s. PROS: Fast and fun gameplay, diverse arenas, weapon variety, tight controls, fun single player, even more fun in multiplayer, user-created maps that can be added are all over the web, modest hardware requirements, Linux and Mac users car run Q3A via Wine. CONS: Price. $20 for a 15 year old game?

one criticism- too much fun

yeah, this takes me back. i would say the price is so-so, but you can wait for a discount if you dont wanna take a chance on something youve never played. either way, even at $15 i think this is the cleanest, most cathartic pvp (or even pvAI) retro shooter that you can get. this brings together the best content of other quake games, and elevates the experience with content from doom, and lightning-fast online play (over private and lan servers, as well as a few curated ones still up and running)
