Creates a perfect atmosphere, just gets a little repetitive. Isn't this what we wanted though? Doom with better graphics

User Rating: 8.8 | DOOM 3 PC
I was never hyped up about this game, i always thought the graphics engine was plastic looking and the game looked boring. I read the reviews and as usual they were all great from 8's to 9's and a few high 7's. I installed the game and got play and i was suprised at how great it was...

The music at the menu screen and the whole art about it was perfect and the introduction with all the marines screaming down your mic was perfect. However it does all die and never comes back which is a shame and causes it to get a little repetitive. Also left me wondering why i'm surviving but everyone else can't and how the Guard Robots can own everything but this place is still ebing beaten?

Gameplay:

It's really fun at first and reminds me of a perfect sci-fi move :) I remember one amazing part when i'm traveling on a monorail to another section of the complex and it reminded me of total recall/Half Life in black messa. It really brought alot of emotion for me for some reason.

I was loving how scary it was aswel, even though it got predictable i was still crapping myself lol. The atmosphere just really sets the gameplay to a whole other level.

However the core gameplay it's self is just Doom with better graphics and in the end thats what everyone wanted. I don't understand why people are complaining about it being too repetitive when Doom was worse and didn't even have a story like this one.

Multiplayer however was pure crap IMO, it was for a small amount of people and got boring faster than listening to the wife nag on.

Overall the gameplay is basic and it will get repetitive but it didn't spoil my enjotment of the game too much.

Graphics:

The atmosphere is greta and the Art style matches everything perfect and it is my fave thing about the game because it draws you into this action/horror sooo much. However there were a coupel points that will bring the score down for me...

- Plastic models
- Textures all look plastic aswel
- smoke of the shotgun looked weird

Sound:

It was great aswel nice effects and everything and the music was perfect, some guns did sound a little weird tho.

Value:

I'm sure you can pick it up for £5 these days and it'll give you 10-20 hours of fun for the single player. It took me twice as long as HL2 to complete.

+ If you get a bundle the expansion is even better with a gravity gun type of thing.

Overall the game is what i expected.... Doom with better graphics. It's fun but gets a little repetitive and some of the graphics are questionable. However it's a pretty amazing game and feaures one of the hardest end boss's in recent times.
