Firstly, I'd like to state that I *did* enjoy this game, very much so, despite my rating, which some might argue is too low. I have not played the previous Doom titles, but knew enough about them to know what to expect from Doom 3. That said, I got exactly what I expected. It's a run and gun shooter--brawn but no brians required. I think those ppl who are disappointed are those who were expecting another "Far Cry" or similar. Technically, Doom 3 boasts a graphical achievement that is stunning (in highest resolutions) to say the least. The atmosphere is scary and believeable, and made me jump numerous times, even when I had come to expect Monster A to jump out at me from behind Pillar B. Gameplay does become repetitive after a bit, but that didn't stop my from venturing deeper into the Mars Base to see what was around the next corner...even when it was more of the same thing. My major grip is its $55 price tag--put it down to greed, or perhaps the fact that id knew in advance it was not going to live up to the hype, so they got their extra $5 or so while they could. Whatever, it's not a $55 game by any stretch. I can see this being $40 in just a few months, which I think is a more reasonable price. In conclusion, if you know what to expect from Doom 3, then you'll get exactly that with the gameplay and atmostphere, plus a few heart-pounding moments thrown in to keep it interesting.
I think this game is indeed the best game I've ever played. I like it because it scares me, though I've played it before. The gameplay is really rapid, you should always load your weapons, otherwise you would be torn apa... Read Full Review
