ANOTHER game that racing game traditionalists could argue the toss over, but what the hell, we really like it. You play a taxi driver in the city of Kemo. This isn't a particularly nice place to live and you're fairly keen to get out of this hell hole of a dump as soon as possible. When the option to undertake missions for the resistance movement in the city becomes available in return for freedom, you don't need asking twice.
Normally, as a Taxi driver of undisputed morals, you'd be more than happy to just charge extortionate rates, talk crap all the time and rip-off unsuspecting tourists. However with your role for the resistance comes a certain amount of, now how shall we put this? Hmmm_ violence, mutilation, death, and gore probably sums it up quite well. This resistance movement isn't heavily into peaceful protest and you are reduced to running over pedestrians, and killing and maiming - either with guns, vehicles, or subtle combinations of the two - other road users. Don't worry though, you'll soon acquire a taste for it and who knows, maybe you'll even come enjoy it.
Gametek once described Quarantine as 'Doom on Wheels' and that seems like a pretty fair description if you ask me. It's a fine game in its own right however, and with quality graphics, cool sounds and enough mindless violence to shock even Quentin Tarrantino. It is without a doubt excellent entertainment for the masses. Oh, by the way, you'll need 565K of free ram to run this excellent demo, so get 'MemMaking'; it'll be worth it in the end, we promise!
