Internet game play is also the game's biggest plus -- "Unreal Tournament" on the PS2 is still a one-player game.
Those who haven't already bought a copy of it should promptly have their heads examined.

The speed will amaze you and the gameplay and graphics will blow you away. Go get it. Now.
This game is not at its best with a standard Dreamcast controller. You need a mouse and keyboard.
The game plays great with the standard Dreamcast control pad as long as you switch the "fire" button to the Left shift button and of course you can use the DC keyboard and Mouse for PC-perfect play.
The only reason I can't give the game a perfect score is the 4 player limitation on online mode.
Overall Quake 3 Arena is just as fun as it was on PC and with the addition of the split screen modes and its support for the upcoming broadband adapter it sets the bare for console deathmatch games.
It has become faster and more fun, it has changed a lot, there is no plot in the game now, but this is not a problem, the game has a goal to defeat all enemies in the arenas
Weapons from Q2 moved to the third part of the Railgun and the rest and redesigned all weapons
The Arenas themselves from the creators of the game are well designed and dynamic, I had fun playing them, I still play it a little
The game has models from all other games id: Doom guy, Ranger, Bitterman
She looks better Q2,improved lighting textures,models
I played with the Ioquake 3 mod which improves textures and other elements even more
My favorite weapon: Shotgun, Plasma, Rocket Launcher, Railgun
+Highest Dynamic is very fun
+Cool,Beauy,Interest,Very Good Balance Levels
+Unique Very Fun Gameplay
+Beauty Redesign Weapons
My Favorite Game
15 Destroyed by Rocket Launcher out of 10)

Amazing game but it loses points as it was meant to be played with the mouse and keyboard on the dreamcast. This becomes a huge limitation for enjoying this game as the Dreamcast controller doesn't have a second joystick nor does it have USB ports. Sourcing a DC keyboard and mouse is not only expensive but you're stuck to the one they manufactured as you rely on the controller port for the hookup. There are a small amount of adapters but that will run you even more money.
The game itself is atleast a B+ or A- but only with the proper set up or alot of practice with the controller which kinda takes mulitplayer options off the table.

Multiplayer first person shooter rendered almost unplayable by the fact that the up/down axis of the joystick is reversed from the norm and there's no option to change it, meaning you spend nearly all of your time staring straight up into the air or down at your feet while you wrestle with the completely unintuitive controls. A near-catastrophic omission that ruins what otherwise could've been a fun game.
