I played it through to the end. While not perfect... it is without a doubt the best display of what the Quake III engine is capable of. It is the first game I've played that really put my xp1700/GF3 through it's paces... at 1280x1024x32 and full detail/textures it looked simply incredible.

It's also the only game that really didn't look good on my 1200 athlon/GF2 setup... I had to turn off too much to get the framerate up.

As far as gameplay, I really enjoyed most of it... but didn't like the labrynth puzzles towards the end.

The soundtrack was creepy, the monsters were EXCELLENT, and some of the puzzles were a TON of fun to figure out. Well worth it if you have the horsepowere to play it (Eye candy at it's best)
