7.0
It would be great if Quake III Arena had tried to be more original, and introduce all sorts of innovative mechanics instead of waiting for its competitors (Unreal Tournament) to do the deed. That being said, however, its biggest strength actually lies in this simplicity, and, like Pac-Man and Tetris, id Software's third Quake title is as arcade as they come, providing just the bare essentials, and simply focusing on being one of the fastest, rawest, and most balanced arena shooters ever made.
