Best FPS of 2004--bar none! The atmosphere is unmatched by any game of the past few years and the action is relentless.

User Rating: 9.8 | DOOM 3 PC
Doom 3 is not only a lengthy game, but one that also has an aura of unmatched quality. The maps, the detail, the sound--it all works flawlessy together to produce an impressive adventure from start to finish. Running-and-gunning is a strategy that would be futile, but would also prevent you from appreciating the spectacular world around you. You must work carefully, and deliberately, to avoid being destroyed. The enemies are the best-looking monsters I have seen in a game, and the way they walk/run/yell is truly amazing. The lighting in this game is better than anything seen in HL2 (another great game). The levels are beautifully put together, and the story is solid (unlike HL2). My two favorite games of all time at the beginning of this year were probably Doom and HL. Well, after completing both Doom 3 and HL2, I can say with all candor that I had a lot more fun (and memorable) time playing Doom 3. No question. I highly recommend you make it your next purchase.
