Hands-On Look

Once your key bindings, character name, skin, and other settings are set to your liking, you're given the option to partake in a training session while the game continues its rather laborious installation. Quake III veterans will find themselves face-to-face with crash, the original game's first opponent. The opening tutorial, in which Crash introduces you to mysterious items such as weapons, health, ammo and armor, will be quite dull for anyone who has ever so much as touched an FPS. But what else are you going to do while the installation finishes? Run around, frag Crash, and wallow in your shallowness as your marvel at how sexy Quake Live looks.
