"Take a gun and go shoot humans and/or aliens". That's the story you get in Nexuiz. 
Don't take me wrong, not having a story can be a good thing sometimes, and in this game 
it certainly is. Welcome to the world of campaign death-match, welcome to the world 
excitement, welcome to <i>Nexuiz</i>.

      The game starts off with an easy first match against some easy bots on an easy level, 
which may seem a little strange to you at first. But you'll have got the hang of the 
controls after about five minutes and turned into a lean mean killing machine, killing 
everything in sight.

      <i>Nexuiz</i> has a gameplay which is similar to that of <i>Quake 2</i>. Take a 
gun, go blast the enemy, repeat. This may sound boring but it's actually a lot of fun and 
will have you hooked for a long time. The beginning is slow and boring, but if you stick 
with it you'll find it addictive. The game modes are: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, 
Capture the Flag and Domination, each with different varieties. All of the game modes 
differ from each other, so you won't get bored easily.

      The game is designed to be multiplayer and (thankfully) features an in-game server 
search, so it isn't hard to find a good server to play on. Unfortunately, there aren't very 
many servers, and the existing servers that are full of bots. This negatively affects the 
lifespan of the game, but single player is nice, and you can host your own servers, too.

      The soundtrack is a nice techno beat, although you won't actually be listening to it 
because of the gun sounds. Who needs music when there are guns? Some guns sound 
good, although a few others sound really bad.

      There is a nice variety of guns, ranging from laser to machine gun, sniper to shotgun. 
All of them have a secondary fire mode and each requires a different play style. And 
what's best, most are automatic(so you just need to hold down the mouse).

      <i>Nexuiz</i> is a fun shooter with a variety of weapons. <i>Quake</i> and 
<i>Unreal Tournament</i> fans should love this. People who are not familiar with those 
games should still give <i>Nexuiz</i> a try, though, and enter the brutal world of 
tournament deathmatch. So go on, whip out your machine gun and go hunt aliens!
