Doom 3 is yet another wonderful example of just how entertaining video games really are.With 40 levels of demon blasting,chainsaw wielding goodness, there is much fun to be found in doom 3.Just like titles such as: Halo 2, Chronicles of Riddick and Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory, Doom 3 uses "normal mapping technology" to bring an unprecedented sense of realism to the game's environments.Along with looking absolutely realistic, the sound of the game is astounding, adding an enormous amount of tention to the player's experience by provoking emotions of fear and terror at what could be around the next dark corner.A large array of weapons is also at the player's disposal.With such weapons as rocket launchers,mini-guns,shotguns,pistols,chainsaws,grenades,assault rifles and the "BFG"-(Bio Force Gun),gamers will have no trouble mowing down the countless hordes of demons that vie for the players soul.Along with a single player experience that lasts 20+ hours, the developers have also included the original dooms 1 and 2 to the collectors edition of doom 3. The multiplayer aspect of the game is compromised of the usual modes found in action games,including: deathmatch,team deathmatch,capture the flag ect.In conclusion: one could say that Doom 3 is almost the perfect game, With a single player experience that lasts over 20 hours,huge weapons,thousands of enemies,unbelievable graphics and sound,solid multiplayer and an excellent storyline, Doom 3 is an action game that rivals the best and one that should not be missed.
This game works great and is lots of fun to play. Has the classic Doom games (which mom likes to play) as well as Doom 3 (which the kids like to play). A family favorite around here.
Some game players will tell you that graphics aren't everything. On the other hand, Doom 3 is a spectacular game in the truest sense, and it's therefore by all means worth experiencing by those with an interest in witnessing just how far the technology of gaming has come along. On one hand, its gameplay has noticeable shortcomings, and its competitive multiplayer mode--which is a focal point of most of today's shooters, thanks in large part to id Software's own contributions in the past--seems like an afterthought. And others will tell you that, on the contrary, graphics are truly important for a game. Doom 3 makes a compelling case for both sides of the argument. Fortunately, the actual game itself, while not as remarkable as the technology that fuels it, is put together well enough to make Doom 3 legitimately great, all things considered.
This is probably in most xboxers top 5 somewhere below Halo. I'd give it 4.8/4.9 if possible. But these aren't enough to keep it out of 5 star territory. Excellent new engine now used in next gen games from ID and others (Prey, Quake4). Game looks gorgeous.Weaknesses are thin story (though this franchise never had or needed one in the past), no offline co-op, no wide open spaces as with original Doom games (though they may be trying to give a clausterphobic feel), not enough Hell levels (but the game is enormously long). The flashlight thing people make a big deal about didn't bother me as much as others - they are obviously trying to increase the scare factor by doing this.Very good job by the folks that started the FPS gaming innovation, ID.
in their attempt to make the game more "realistic" I feel they have taken most of the fun out of it.I'm a big fan of the other titles (DOOM,DOOM2,FINAL DOOM)and this game just doesn't stand up for all it's graphics and realism.
