Quake 2, the epic first-person shooter game from Id Software, has made its way to the Android platform without compromising on graphics quality.
Gameplay and Features
Quake 2 for Android perfectly encapsulates the essence of the classic PC game. The game offers identical levels, the same enemies, and the same weaponry as the original. Players can expect to relive the adrenaline-pumping action on their smartphones, albeit on a smaller screen.
This Android version presents three types of control schemes to accommodate different players' preferences. You can either use the device's accelerometer to control your viewpoint, or opt for touchscreen controls for all actions. Regardless of your choice, the game provides an immersive experience that closely mirrors the PC gameplay.
Installation and Setup
The Quake 2 application that you download initially does not include the game's additional files, which amount to about 40 MB. These files need to be downloaded later from within the application. Essentially, everything required to play is housed within the same app, ensuring a seamless setup process.
Performance
Quake 2 for Android maintains the high-quality graphics that players have come to expect from the original game. However, there is one noticeable drawback to the Android version – its control system. While offering three different control types caters to a range of player preferences, the overall control system could benefit from refinement to improve the gaming experience.
Ultimately, Quake 2 for Android provides an outstanding FPS action gameplay that successfully brings the thrill of the classic PC game to the smaller screen. Despite minor control system issues, the game remains an enjoyable and nostalgic trip for fans of the original Quake 2.
