Without a doubt, the best PC-to-console port ever seen.

The only reason I can't give the game a perfect score is the 4 player limitation on online mode.

Quake 3 Arena is so damn good, scratch that, so damn near perfect, that it makes anybody who believes the future of gaming is not online look like a fool.

I played earlier q3arenaone pc also dreamcast
i also played Wolfenstein - EnemyTerritory who using the same engine and feels nearly identy with quake3. what i wanna say is, from gameplay feeling and fairness also from style, skill lvl u can reach and bugs they make this game awesome for me. i still playing this game sometimes and never saw a game again like this. for many years im in hope to see a release who is like quake3arena. there is no any good out there and thats why i give a 9 of 10. also the movement and aiming on the same time is perfectly to handle.
its the best made shooter all of time!
Doom Eternal is also nearly that feeling like q3 from gameplay for me!

It's alright. I think it's good game but I don't really like this game. Not bad, but I would much rather play Quake 1 or 2 deathmatch than this.

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.

My first ever FPS... The best there is in my opinion! When it comes to fps you must play quake 3 area. The maps, the mechanics, the game modes... everything was amazing!!

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.

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)

Good dumb run and gun fun. Difficult to enjoy online if you haven't mastered some skills and the single player is less fun. I suspect quake fans would prefer the pc version

Controls ****. I think I played more with my cousin than alone. I didn't like this game at all.

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.
