Doom 3 is back with a vengeance... On the Xbox. So stop your grinnin' & grab your linen... It's shootin' time!! All right... So the controls are old school FPS. I strongly suspect it's meant to be. I don't think Carmack and his gang at ID all bumped their head at the same time and simply forgot to put in a 'lean' feature. Doom is about hanging it out there... And getting it shot at. Doom 3 is about a stand-up fight. Crouching and leaning is for hunting terrorist. Stepping out in the dimly lit service corridor and strafing a Wraith that's howling like a banchi and bounding down the pipe at you (to rip out your jugular) is ALL Doom 3 baby... At its finest. Ports are often suspect from the get go... But not this one. V.V. did a superb job. The graphics engine on the Xbox looks great. Obviously not on level with the PC... But then you don't play your PC from the comfort of your leather sofa, with a 47" WS TV either... Well, at least I don't. That said... If you enjoyed the PC version... You'll like this one as much, if not more. And if you're not already aware... The sound is amazing. And like the graphics, it's all high quality production stuff. Play this title with the lights low and the sound up. Gives you the willies X2. Yeah... The graphics. Man they look good. You can smell the carnage. And the Co-op Xbox live feature... Out-freakin-standing. Nothing like going on a bug hunt with your buddy... 1000 miles away. Fumblin' around with your flashlight while your buddy is screamin' "Where the hell is it???... I can't see it!!!"... The whole experience only serves to remind me of the old adage; "A friend in need... Should have equipped his chain gun when I told him to." The quick mapping on the D-pad for your favorite BOOM-stick is nice... And the adjustment for the controls makes it very customizable. The overall (oppressive) atmosphere of the game that makes you grit your teeth involuntarily every time you step around a corner... Is what makes the title almost worth the price of admission alone. So buy this title... (I suggest going with the limited edition) Then shut your pie-holes, suit up, and get your Doom face on maggots. It's time to wade knee-deep into the demonic dead... Again.
Gameplay Gameplay in Doom 3 is pretty simple but fun. You walk around, shoot monsters. That's pretty much it. You really never really run out of ammo so, unless you have a really bad aim, you really don't have to str... Read Full Review
