Nexuiz boils down to the original Quake with some upgrades: graphics, sound, weapons, models, maps, and game modes. Since most of the game will be played against real people, this is kind of disappointing and is probably the worst aspect of the game. At first I though it might be because my graphics were turned too high, but playing against the bots doesnвЂ™t result in any lag. The online play I have experienced has been less than smooth. There are five game modes in Nexuiz (again, a combination of Quake and Unreal Tournament): deathmatch, team deathmatch, domination (capture control points), capture the flag, and runematch, which is deathmatch with objects that have a positive and random negative bonus. Typically, the new maps are better looking, not held back by the graphical restrictions of the original Quake. The maps in the game include copies of some original Quake maps (those brought back some memories) and some new designs. The things doing the shooting are an eclectic arrangement of monsters and people who are more than happy to explode into a bunch of red splotches for your enjoyment. The weapons are combinations of the better weapons from Quake and Unreal Tournament, including a shotgun, grenade launcher, machine gun, electric gun, and several others. The bots can be turned more powerful and can display some good skills on higher intelligence levels, such as defending a control point.

You can play games against AI bots or online against real people, or setup a server using a combination of both. A lot of more recent games have tended towards more tactical shooting, so itвЂ™s kind of nice to see a game that harkens back to the good old days of numerous frags in a short period of time. The fast, intense gameplay of Quake is still intact, so if you enjoy that style of play, youвЂ™ll be all set here. Nexuiz plays a lot like Quake with some minute changes.

Both the graphics and sound are functional and look better than the original Quake. Probably the most memorable aspect of the sound is the squishy effect that occurs when you are killed. The sound is along the same lines: some small improvements are made from the base code, which is really all we could ask for. Utilizing some of the more advanced features (like bloom lighting) requires a pretty good computer. However, to NexuizвЂ™s credit, they have made some enhancements to the engine, adding some more effects and better textures, so it looks slightly more modern than it could. Since Nexuiz uses the Quake 1 engine, you might expect the graphics to be slightly outdated, and youвЂ™d be correct.
