Death, the third installment...

Well we all know one thing...Doom 3 looks really really pretty. It also sounds truely great. The game is completely emersive in to the environment. When monsters pop out from around corners you jump (or at leat I did) and then procede to shoot them in the face with a shot gun. The erie feel of the game is complete, and provides a sence of forboding throughout the entire game. I would have to say that this video game is scarrier than most scary movies.
The gameplay itself, however, leaves something to be desired. It, quite honestly, doesnt stand up to the previous Doom games. I have played them all a great deal and can say this with confidence. It never really gets too hard, while there are some challenging areas, it never gets too bad. There is also a distinct lack of secrete areas, I found what there is to be found, and I wish there were more...I always liked the secrete areas in the other Dooms. It also gets a bit repetative.
I dont want any of this to discourage the playing of this game. It is really very fun, and it is totally emersive and spooky. Just dont expect it to make you good at shooters. Not to mention, its really really cheap now. Pick it up some time.
