I was one of the very few people who actually enjoyed Doom III immensely. It had wonderful graphics, solid gameplay and was really scary to top it off. I had high hopes for this expansion pack, the ending of D3 left me wanting more. Resurrection of Evil had every chance to be a good add-on to this great title, but fell short in a number of areas and is not much more than a big let down. One of the best parts of D3 was that it was so extremely atmospheric and intense. Tension was everywhere, from start to finish. In this expansion pack, all of this is gone. This leaves a big gaping hole that needs to be filled with something, and the only really new things in here are the few new weapons and enemies. The enemies are nothing to get too excited about, it's dudes who are basicly powered-up Imps, merely a bit harder to hit and with a more powerful attack, and some other unimaginative run-of-the-mill bad guys. The weapons include a rip-off of Half-Life 2's gravity gun. It is boring and hard to use, just like its HL2 counterpart. The double-barreled shotgun looks really cool, but reloads painstakingly slow and has a short range. In other words, both the weapons and the new enemies are a disappointment, like the rest of the game. RoE feels very much like a standard expansion pack: uninspired, standard maps, nothing really new, simply there to milk some more money out of the original game's engine. I lost interest and stopped playing this game only a couple of hours into the game. This one is not worth burning your hard-earned money on.
