Doom 3 is the 3rd game in the Doom "trilogy" and the reason why people seem to hate it so much is that it isn't Doom, it's something they weren't expecting. Doom 3's gameplay is great for a FPS, since it doesn't line up the targets for you, it doesn't throw a lot of enemies at you, and the enemies aren't stupid like in most games. This game is slow paced, and instead of focusing on run and gun action, it throws monsters at you one or two at a time from the shadows or corridors. This game is not meant to have you just blasting demons, it aims to scare you, and at 2am with the surround sound on, it will. Doom 3's immersive world is its best feature. The graphics are very realistic, with minor texture shortages. The shadows in Doom 3 are second only to the ones in SC:CT. Doom 3's sound is its best feature though, with 5.1 surround sound support, every monster sneaking up on you will be heard in time for you to pull out your shotgun. Doom 3 is very lengthy for a FPS clocking in at 12-15 hours depending on difficulty level. The only problem is, there ain't much to go back to. But the reason why many didn't like Doom 3, is that it isn't truly Doom. Instead of the run and gun gameplay of the first two Doom games this one mixed it up, which some weren't ready for. My verdict on Doom 3 is that it doesn't serve the series justice, but it's one hell of a game on its own merits.
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
