Im going to break it up and start off with saying this: Doom 3 was a remake of Doom 1. That was the INTENT. Maybe I only know this cuz I followed it so deeply, but I thought that was well known. That is why the level layout and general gameplay is the same, BECAUSE ITS A REMAKE. Except they added story, brought the graphics to anything better then anything I imagined, and used the new abilities with shadows in games to create a truley frightening experience. Gameplay: Scary as hell...especially as you get more and more into the game. Play it at night with the lights out...The level of detail they put into it to make it seem like a real world is amazing. You will walk down hallways and see videos playing on monitors describing the UACs inventions and movements and other stuff like that. You can also find those movies laying around to be picked up so you can watch them whenever on your PDA. Speaking of, the PDA is a great enhancement to the game. Audio logs and emails giving you back story and codes to get into ammunition lockers and stuff like that. Theres also hundreds of little computer monitors that you can interact with seamlessly to do something in the environment. like move a crane, open a door, do stupid backstory stuff that helps create this world that truley feels like it exists. GREAT GAMEPLAY. run and shoot Doom style...just like it was intended. And just like it should be! it is Doom...to say, Doom3 plays too much like Doom, is like saying, water tastes too much like water. Graphics: If I had to say something about Doom 3s graphics, then that would mean you were living in a cave with fingers in your ears. so close to real life, your eyes will bleed. Sound: Freaky. First off, Nine Inch Nails did the music. So, if youve ever heard any of their tunes, youll know to expect a lot from the background music. works very well with the action of the game to get you in the mood. Sound effects are crisp and eerie. One scene, in particular, as I was walking towards a locked door, a little girls voice came out of the air and said "hurry, you have to hurry" then bloody footprints started walking towards the door. Just the footprints. Earlier in the game, youre welcome to hear the bloodcurdling screams and last minute gunfire from the other marines already under attack. Value: Tha value of the game is the same as in Doom 1. Run and gun it harder and harder till you cant anymore. There is multiplayer as well, but looks to be pretty much deathmatch oriented...of course, the XBox version will have coop on live so thatll be better. But, if your a run and gun kinda junky, the value is there...I already replayed the beginning 3 times to show other people how sweet this game is. The value is there, people will come over to watch my play Doom 3 on my TV (gotta love the Radeon 9800 Pros video out) Overall: Seriously one of the best games Ive ever played. Classic in its style, but so modern in its attempt.
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
This game is not for the faint of heart, the paranoid or the weak stomached. Playing this game alone in the dark with headphones at full blast is one of the most enjoyable if un-nerving experiances you can have with a ga... Read Full Review
