Quake 3, what's up with that?
I've tryed my hardest to like this game but I just can't find it in me, it's a great conversion don't get me wrong but what the heck is up with the controls?
They just suck, i've fiddled around with the sensitivity setting but it just sucks. The game's just crying out for an auto aiming system like Goldeneye, I can't see how ID could have over looked this. You just can't get the kind of pin point accuracy needed for Quake from an analog stick that you can from a keyboard and mouse combo. Half the time I just find myself firing wildly in hopes that maybe I can get a few shots on target.
Don't think i'm some PC games bum boy though, I love console 1st person shooters but this sucks most royally.
i'm stuck on the 3rd level of the Single player game and I really can't see myself getting any further unless I go out and buy a mouse and keyboard.
I'm just glad I only payed £5 for it....
On a happier note Tech Romancer rules everyone should own this game.

Trust me when I say you need a mouse and keyboard to get the most out of the game!!
Get a mouse and a keyboard from SR, or second hand (and a lot cheaper) from cex.co.uk and you'll be eating your words. :o)
Tiltawhirl, dont ever think about buying OutTrigger. Its even worst! But 'tis still a good game for £10.
The graphics on Outtrigger are good, and the effects are great. The sound though is crap - explosions are just some Japanese man going 'Wooosh!'

Don't get Unreal Tournament for DC either. That's the crappest conversion I've ever seen. Quake III lost a LOT less during translation than UT did, and Quake has more complicated graphics!!
I can tell the games good cause it's pretty much the same as the PC version and I enjoyed that, it's just the controls I can't get my head around. Having said that it's much better when you've got more than one apponent to kill, i've enjoyed Quake when i've set up all the options but on the single player when you have to face off against one apponent it's just feckin boring. Trying to shoot somoene at a distance with a rocket is about as much fun as sitting on a bag of nails, you're better off shooting the floor in front of them you're more likely to hit something.
You're saying DC UT is the same as PC version?!
No Quake 3 is as far as I can tell, I haven't played it that much cause I end up throwing the pad across the room for being so damn annoying.
