    A great add-on for fans of the Quake series and multiplayer mayhem. This is a must have for the frag fanatic.

    As an add-on pack, Team Arena rocks. It adds everything I wanted to see in "Quake III Arena," but wasn't actually there.

    A violent, violent game that targets reflexive ability more than cerebral. But it doesn’t presume to be anything but a frag-fest. In that regard it can’t be denied that this program does what it set out to do very well.

    Quake 3: Team Arena, in a word, rocks. The quality associated with id Software shines through in this mission pack. It is definitely worth your money -- go and buy it. I'd write more here, but I need to go play more Team Arena. I wish I were joking.

    A polished, tried and true gameplay experience, that, while not necessarily the most innovative, is a heck of a lot of fun.

    In playtesting, I found that a number of new additions to the interface simply get in the way of gameplay.

    It is also the best CTF add-on pack out there, which means cash-spending time if you're a consumer looking to play the best games for a specific type of online gameplay that money can buy.

    It's a good expansion pack. Not great, but good. It expands the gameplay of Quake III to new heights.
  10. Game Revolution

    A solid mission pack, adding a whole new team element. Team organization is something that is evolving in online multiplayer gaming, and it's nice to see Quake join the fray.

    It's a hit. But only by a pixellated margin.

    Sweet fast paced action. How did metacritic score this game so low beats me!

    It was like skimming of Quake 3 Arena. I cannot say it improves too much over main game.

I tried this game out with the included bots but didn't enjoy the experience very much because the bots just aren't too bright. Also, the only game mode I really enjoyed was old-fashioned CTF, so this doesn't really add much of value to Quake 3: Arena. I suspect this expansion was much better when played with real people at LAN parties.… Full Review »
