To put it delicately, it no longer looks like ass. With the addition of some slick 2D art and loading screens, the interface no longer looks so unspeakably shabby when compared to the gameplay, finally giving the game the visual cohesiveness that the PC version clearly lacked. The menu system has always been a sore spot in the PC Quake III, so it's nice to see that Raster took the opportunity to spruce things up, and the result is a decent improvement. Lastly, kudos should be given for the vastly improved interface featured throughout the game. It's nothing too special, but certainly better than the PC version's boring, bog-standard techno.

The new tunes are a decent batch of your standard rock/techno FPS tunes, some of them actually containing enjoyable guitar riffs and melodies. For some reason, the developers seem to have decided to toss the tunes of the PC version, and it's probably safe to say that it's for the better. The railgun hums with its trademark buzz, and the bloody gibs fly with a suitably wet splatter. The crisp sound effects from the PC version are back in action, including all of the character/model-specific shouts and taunts. Unfortunately, the aspect ratio is somewhat messed up in splitscreen.
