Quake: Mission Pack 2: Dissolution Of Eternity Review

                   Quake: Dissolution Of Eternity Review

                               (Quake's second official Addon/Expansion)

History

Quake: Mission Pack 2: Dissolution Of Eternity is Quake's Second Addon developed by Rogue Entertainment and released in March, 1997, exactly one month after the first Expansion, Scourge Of Armagon.

Story

After defeating Armagon, one of Quake's highest general, Ranger returns to Earth, but things go wrong yet again. Quake's minions found another way to enter Earth through modifying time itself. So The Ranger sets his way to hopefully stop the invasions, once and for all.

Gameplay

The gameplay is roughly the same, but yet again bringing new things to the formula: the absence of secret levels is quite a new thing, bringing back episodes to choose, but once you finnish one episode you won't be brought back to the start room, you immediately start the next episode, from scratch.

This Expansion is nothing too special besides Scourge Armagon, however, the second episode: Corridors Of Time has ineresting concepts and great themed levels. You have the same weapons from quake one, but also can use a secondary ammo type which is more powerfull on certain weapons, except the two shotguns. New enemies brought to the mix ought to make the Expansion fun to play as well, and also several new bosses. New items as well, more notably the gravity belt which grants you to jump in high places for a limited time.

Soundtrack

Same as Scourge Of Armagon, the soundtrack was composed by the same guy, Jeehun Hwang, but this time it's not really special and easily forgettable.

Conclusions And Score

In conclusion, this expansion is good overall, but not really better than Scourge Of Armagon. It has it's good concepts and that makes it a decent one to play. I give it a 8.2/10, I recommend you to at least try it IF you are into First Person Shooters.
