    Doom 3 less than impressive

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 13, 2004 | 9 out of 11 found this Doom 3 review helpful

    Pros: graphics.

    Cons: lacks the addiction factor, nothing new game wise. Lacks the features, I'm used to from other FPS such as: alternate fire, voice communications, no sniper rifle. Multiplayer for 4 players only, not many maps.

    Too dark, not very emmersive, would have given anything for a roll of duct tape to wrap the flashlight and the shotgun together. Zombie attack are slow, becomes boring, game should come with head trauma warning, you will probably fall asleep and hit ...your forehead on the keyboard. The hype will carry this game only so far, word of mouth will take it to the clearance bin. Yes it is pretty, but pretty does not justify the $50 it costs. Lacks all the features that were introduced by other shooters while this game was being made. Do not rely on magazine reviews, they all point out the game shortcommings, but still give it a good rating. Playing this game was like doing homework, I forced myself to do it. Talk to your local game geek, they know what you like. This game plays a lot like system shock 2, just not as scary. Read more Less

    Same old Doom. Better graphics engine.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 4, 2004 | 8 out of 9 found this Doom 3 review helpful

    Pros: Wonderful graphics if you have the HW.

    Cons: Same old game, nothing new. Borringgg....

    Don't expect anything new here. Same old game, enter room, jump from being scared by monster, shoot everything that moves, move to next room...Nothing seems very original here, no tricks, traps or ways to outsmart the creatures. Just the same o...ld trapped in a corridor, shoot till it dies action.Having to switch from flashlight to gun constantly is pretty sad. As if the light would not be on his gun or helmet if the environment is really that dark. Read more Less

    You must have a maxed out video system

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 8, 2004 | 5 out of 5 found this Doom 3 review helpful

    Pros: excellent graphics, sound, scary.

    Cons: video card is stressed to the limit (see below)

    Very good game, but I haven't been able to play it much! The graphics are SO good, with all the video options on, if you do not have a primo video system with the most video RAM you can get, this game will overheat the video card and your system ...will lock up!I'm in the process of adding extra fans to my box to keep the damn thing cool. Temperature sensors show it jumping to 90 degrees celcius before it locks up.If you are a power gamer, and like previous dooms, you need to see this game. If you don't have an A1 primo system and aren't on top of technology, then you will just be wasting your money. I have two systems I tried this game on: (1) 3.4 GHz P4 w/ 1 GB RAM, ATI 9700 w/128 MB video RAM: Locks up after playing only about five minutes. Unable to set the game settings to any quality higher than Medium.(2) 2.0 GHz P4 w/ 512 MB RAM, 64 MB ATI video card: Can only set the game video quality to the lowest setting. Locks up after playing for about 7 minutes.WARNING! You MUST have extra video cooling equipment to play this game!!!I'm still jazzed about it, though. I'm waiting for additional software and hardware fixes to cool the system before playing again.Good luck. Read more Less

    Doom 3 is everything a horror fan could want

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 26, 2008

    Pros: Outstanding atmosphere, graphics, weaponry, story

    Cons: Multiplayer required a little TLC from its dedicated fans.

    I am a Doom addict. I have explored all aspects of Doom gameplay and enjoyed every moment of it. All 1k plus hours of playing. I was sucked into the outstanding story and great visual effects of the game from the getgo. It plays out intensely from b...eginning to end and never lets up on the scares. Definitely does the series some good. The multiplayer takes some getting used to at first and even then you might still suck at it. It has a harsh learning curve, but action is intense. It always forces you to play your best and a great emphasis is put on making and avoiding shots. Pros at the game will be on your neck if you don't tighten up your game. Only a few maps, but I don't mind, the ones available are kicka**. That doesn't acount for the many mods available that I play on. All and all the MP isn't for everyone. But for us hardcore players, it is home. If you have your doubts, I implore you go for it. It is truly a ride no one should miss. take it this way; it is by far my favorite game to date.

    It's Doom it doesn't need any other title.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 24, 2006

    Pros: Best online Play ever!

    Cons: Needs more expansion packs!

    I don't write bad reviews if I don't like something I won't write a review. I am happy however to review something I love! I love Doom 3 it's great fun when you have free time it's worth checking out, the game itself I beat in lit...tle time but the online gaming totally rule and you never get bored of it even tho the maps are getting old.

    Game of the Year, yeah right

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 15, 2006

    Pros: None

    Cons: Predictable, Too dark, Way too demanding

    First off I hate anything that scares me in games, I absolutely cannot play FEAR anymore lol. This game my god graphics SUCK, they do admit it allready. Had this on Medium and could barely run, I have a AMD 64, 3200 , 512MB Ram, GeForceFX 5500. Wh...en I ran it, it sucked. Now I have 1GB Ram, GeForce 6600 256MB and I run Quake 4 on High, still only can run Doom 3 on Medium and Quake 4 is soooooo much better. When you turn a corner you know a zombie will be there, hear noises and there is a door in front of you yes a zombie will bust down the door, this game is far too predictable even for someone who can't stand scary games will not be scared by this game. If you have a super gaming rig don't bother you can't run it, get Quake 4 it is funner less predictable and it has a gun with a built in flashlight. Looks much better too Read more Less

    Scary as HELL!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 26, 2005

    Pros: Almsot everything about the game, definitley a scare with the lights off and surround sound on!

    Cons: They should really add a multiplayer with 4 players and bots

    The game was everything I expected it to be. The game is really spooky, and the enviroment is scary as hell. With new innovations in graphics, the game is really realistic. This title is definitley better than all the other Doom games. The thing they... need to add to it was a multiplayer. I know i has the online, but they should really add the multiplayer to it. It has a great story, it isn't something your going to beat on the first day unless your really really experienced, and it's a huge challenge. You should really go pick it up thought, this is one HELL of a game! HAVE FUN! Read more Less
