DOOM 3

Dark and foreboding

Having played the original when it first came out I was looking forward to getting my hands on this, and I wasn’t disappointed, in fact the only criticism I have is that it’s too dark in places. Fair enough, having dark corners so creatures can leap out at you was great but it just got frustrating after a while, I kept looking for a light switch!!

The graphics are sweet and it still looks good on my medium spec laptop. The music and sounds effects are spot on and the creatures were suitably scary. I don’t totally agree with the way the creatures have been used as opposed to the original but that’s neither here nor there. The weapons felt good and did the business well. Item placement worked well and there was enough ammo / armour at hand to keep me out of trouble.

In all, the game looks fantastic with excellent levels and set pieces. The sound effects add to the intense atmosphere and the whole package was a blast to play. Kudo’s to ID.
