Heretic II updated demo (full version) screenshot
From Activision:

Heretic II is a third-person action game based on the Quake II engine that sets players on a quest through vast city and outdoor environments as they search to find a cure to a deadly, evil plague before all is lost. The game plunges you into a deep, compelling game combining brutal face-to-face combat and mystery-laden adventure in an advanced graphics engine. From a third-person perspective, gamers travel through complex, richly detailed environments filled with special effects, wicked magic spells, detailed characters, vivid artwork, and challenging level designs. Glide and Direct3D graphics acceleration are supported.

Editor's review of Heretic II updated demo (full version)

  • Version reviewed: Heretic II updated demo (full version) 1.06
Although it's not revolutionary by today's standards, Heretic II was one of the first games to offer a third-person view in a first-person shooter. It's still a fun way to explore and blast away the bad guys. As with most shooters, there are dozens of keyboard-based character controls, but Heretic II's are spaced well and are surprisingly simple to master. A grand mix of weapons and power-ups make it worth exploring every nook and cranny of the game's medieval-meets-alien world. The sound effects are spooky at first, but on repetition they can get annoying. Prevalent map tools would also be helpful in tracking location and status through the labyrinth-laden levels. Although the gameplay offers little innovation, there's still plenty of action to enjoy.
