Next Generation Online heeft een preview van Q3: Arena gepost, gebaseerd op de Mac Q3 Test (die @#$$@$@$% eerder gereleased werd dan de PC versie):
The Q3 test is certainly a step up the Doom/DoomII/Quake/QuakeII evolutionary ladder. It is gorgeous. The models move fluidly, the lighting effects are striking and the weapons spew death in a spectacular variety of ways. When you cut down your enemy, he may simply bleed and collapse, but if you get him up close and personal with one of the big guns he blows apart, littering the battlefield with a shower of bloody chunks.
