Coming nearly ten years after the groundbreaking original, Doom 3 continues id Software's firstperson shooter series with a true 3D engine featuring bumpmap texturing and enhanced lighting and shadow effects. Players will revisit the setting introduced in 1993's Doom but with a more involved story line written by scifi scribe Matthew Costello (of 7th Guest and The 11th Hour fame).

The result is a more cinematic experience than in games past, with elements of horror interwoven with the action to create a sense of tension. Shadows sometimes appear a split second before enemies attack, creatures materialize in the reflections of mirrors, and monsters can break through walls. Certain classic enemies have also been upgraded, such as the imps, which now stare players down with glaring eyes before pouncing on them. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide

    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.

    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
