THE BEST ARENA COMBAT SINCE THE ORIGINAL UT
Lee_StricklinDecember 30, 2008
Pros
FLAWLESS. Better than out of the box (modded is a different story) UT99. Back to basics arena combat on some serious get-up-and-kill energy (think six cases of Monster) supplement. The graphics, physics, and art direction are a bonus.
Cons
THIS DOWNLOAD IS OUTDATED!!! The current version is 2.4 and to my understanding 2.5 is nearing completion
Summary
The fastest ego shooter with near perfect weapon balance and absolutely flawless gameplay. This is back to basics UT and Quake inspired arena combat that is it's own game in it's own right. You won't be disappointed with this like you were Unreal Tournament III. DOWNLOAD THIS GAME.
Great

A lovable fragger, but this download's outdated!

Pros
Go to the official site, and grab this game there. It's currently 270 MB at version 2.3, and adds a lot of tweaking and maps and modes that creates a much better experience. Grab the community map pack, too, fairly excellent pack.<p>But the game itself, Nexuiz is what it bills itself as: a gorgeous deathmatch shooter. On my computer, a 800 mhz Pentium III with a GeForce 200 MX, I got the baby up and running with everything turned off, and it looks fantastic still. Then I threw it on the machine upstairs (which has double the specs), and I was blown away. It was an entirely different game, but it worked just as well.<p>Nexuiz is gorgeous. That's really the only word I can use to describe it. From the bloom lighting to the shadowing to the very nice modeling and map making, this game might not completely hold up as a commercial title, but it would have a year or two ago. If there's anything about this game I will remember it for in ten years, it's how freaking awesome the graphics were.<p>Past the visual stuff, the gameplay is fast, furious, and fun. Put Unreal Tournament, Quake III, and Quake I all in a blender, mix in a little bit of Half-Life 2 Deathmatch, and you will have Nexuiz. Unreal brings to the table the foundation of the fragging, the fast moving, tightened gameplay you would be hoping for. Quake III brings it's weapon set, giving the game a full range of satisfying weapons to battle with. Quake I throws the fast, lightning quick movement speed and mobility to the plate, making it move oh-so-fast. And Half-Life 2 DM lends excellent physics applications that actually impact gameplay, and for the better (rockets send people shooting up in a very cartoon-like way, but it's heckuva fun).<p>Online, the servers are well stocked and the forums are versed with info from the devs and loyal fans who are ready to pounce onto any question one might have. The single player is adequate, with some well coded bots that will react handidly to your actions, and a juicy campaign wraps it all up.
Cons
(More pro stuff until I say otherwise)<p>I haven't counted the maps or modes, but past the twenty or so from the original game and the twenty something from the community map pack, you have a good fifty right there in a simple 400 MB download. The modes seem diverse, but they all stem from making sure you keep killing your opponent. This isn't a bad thing, because it makes sure that the design concept doesn't get lost in the noise that freeware and indie games sometimes do.<p>The music is generally very good, though at times you might want to shut it off and listen to your old tunes. Some maps are even brilliant with the auditorial spectrum, such as one that features Dr. Dre and Eminem music every time you walk past a speaker, as if it were on a radio. The opening menu theme is techno and funky, and the sound effects are big and satisfying.<p>And finally, the updates. The game, unfortunately, hasn't been updated since last May, but for fans who only want to download one thing without a constant stream of patches, it works. Version 2.3 has nothing wrong with it, and it does seem to be the very peak of what the devs were trying to do. Perhaps their creativity will spark something new down the line, but until then, staying with the times will be an easy task for this game.<p>Bad stuff:<p>The graphics engine isn't perfect, and it is a little unstable on lower end machines. It doesn't have the polish of Alien Arena, which can run and look much much better on the lower spectrum.<p>The interface is also a little ugly, being taken from Quake itself. The font is the real problem, being too small and the menus somewhat hard to navigate at first. A good update to this would help the game a lot.<p>In the end. Nexuiz is a great game. It has a cool name, tons of maps, a gorgeous graphics engine, and a fun community. I give this game five out of five stars, and you should download it.

Summary
A decent Arena clone, but not the best
SceptreXJanuary 24, 2007
Pros
Quake III Arena has been played upon so many times, because it is the very peak of online shooting: you run around in a maze, shooting other people. Unreal Tournament 2003 honed this formula to a point, and this game plays right in the middle of the two. Although Unreal didn't really revolutionize the gameplay, it is a few steps ahead of this game. <p> <p>Undeniably, it looks great. The varied graphics levels make for one smooth game, as long as you are running a high enough machine. I'd suggest a 900mhz or higher, and 512 mb ram. The graphics card can vary, which was a nice feature. A GeForce is minimum, though the higher end stuff will get you more visual bonuses.
Cons
Honestly, this Quake clone isn't the best. Nothing beats the pure, simple Arena taste like OpenArena (not available here), though if you like the game that sort of way, go with this. It's very nice and well designed, though I had some loading hiccups.
Summary
nice, playable and not one of those games that bore you after awhile
r.e.v.u.January 22, 2007
Pros
Well, the gameplay and graphics, not alot of bad players that will screw you up. Easy to get good at if you know what I mean. A good time waster if you pissed at something or want to release anger.
Cons
Not alot. You might find some obvious ones that are to be expected in all games.

This gane is very tight.

Very Nice and it's FREE!!
Macoo2September 25, 2006
Pros
It's small, less then 200meg. Great gameplay. I jumped in a game and got a few kills but I think a few bot's were playing also.. Lots of server's and maps.. A tad fast for me and it seem's like you slide a bit also.. not sure I liked that or not.. but weapons and graphics were very nice.. even on default settings and you can change almost everything like weapons, etc.. Well worth the download ..this one will be moving up the charts I'm sure.. cause It's a very nice FPS that's free and plays on low-mid systems..
Cons
Hard to complain about anything.. It's a great multiplayer fps that's free..it's better then alot of games I have paid for..!

MayxMarch 10, 2006
Pros
Great graphics. They are as good as some of the newer games out there. <p> <p>I liked the layout of the maps. <p> <p>Insane gameplay. There are body parts flying everywhere. There were some fun guns to play with. Even the basic gun could get the job done quickly. <p> <p>Quick online access...nice listing of servers. Even the bot's are fun to play with.
Cons
If there is a negitive to this game I would say that at some point in the game the surroudings can look awful. Blood and body parts everywhere! It's a little over the top. :)
