The fourth instalment of Quake for the spanking new Xbox 360 has earned some fairly lacklustre reviews on both Gamespot and 1UP.What sound like appalling performance issues helped to earn it a 6 or "Playable" rating on 1UP, while Gamespot went so far as to call the framerate problem "atrocious in spots", despite any points in favour of the game which include a full Xbox 360 version of Quake II included on the bonus disc:
At some points, it gets so bad that the whole game starts to slow down, as well. You'll know when that's happening because the rate of fire on your weapons slows way, way down. Even when there's no action onscreen, just viewing the environments is enough to make the game run at a noticeably choppy rate. While there are still some cool-looking areas, the frame rate troubles drag down the entire experience.
