What did you expect?

I think people set their standards too high for this game. It's a time-passer, that's all. There is absolutely nothing new here. To me, there's nothing wrong with that. They set out to provide free Quake III arena over your browser and succeeded.

It's like someone saying, after they played mario bros. 3 over some rom database that "meh, it's just mario"

No shit it's just mario. That's the point! What did you expect the game to do? Fix you a sandwich? Mail you a funny card with ten dollars in it?

It is what it is. But I don't think it deserves too much negative criticism since we all played this game back in the day and loved it--wasted hours deathmatching in it--and although it doesn't hold a candle to FPS's of today it's still amusing to take a trip down memory lane and go BFG someone up the tailpipe. And it's really sweet that you can bust this out at work without having to install the software.
