i don't exactly remember when i first bought doom 3 for my mac; but it was a couple of years back. All i have to say is, i have always been a mac person but once i got hooked on doom 3 multiplayer i eventually built my own high-end gaming pc to more fully enjoy this game. I am more or less completely obsessed by it; it's a lot of fun but again I warn you .. beware of this game because it may possess you for what looks to be ... forever? I have never tired of playing this game.

scariest game, so far

Scariest, most intense game since the original AvP, itself a classic. Character survival isn't anywhere near the problem just walking from point A to point B is, knowing you're going to get attacked.

best game ever made

I loved this game.i beat this game and im going on to DOOM roe and this game is best for its hard-core action and its thrilling story line the only bad thing to me was the fact that you had no help it got tuff at times and u really wish you could have somone next to you you cant even play co-op but the grapics the weapons and the terrifieing enimies made it all better if you like constant action and gore this is your game i liked the pda(personal data assistant) adition too it helped a lot never play this at night it is litteraly worse then a horror movie the only thing that will keep you going is when you blow your enimies brains out the hole demon thing is kinda confusing until you get farther on in the game well pritty much everything is confussing until you get farther in the game anyway this is a great game and you should defontly give it a try and dont give up when you die or are just to scared to go on because at times you will be but buy the game.

I have only just started to play this game as my old 1.2GHz PC with 4x AGP graphics card just couldn't handle the action (there aren't enough in-game controls for reducing graphics requirements for such an old machine). Now we have an Nvidia 7950 graphics card and AMD-2 5000 PC this game has finally come to life. Game play and locations are pretty much as the original groundbreaking 1993/94 Doom and Doom II PC games, and as before you mostly just keep killing very nasty things until there are none left. However in Doom 3 the graphics quality, AI, and story development are in a different league, and you do have some interaction with other characters. The game is suprisingly sympathetic to the original (so there's not much in the way of intellectual conversation).

The story is set in the year 2145 at the Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC) research centre on Mars. Dr. Malcolm Betruger and his team have discovered many artefacts of an ancient and long gone Martian race. Trying to recreate their transportation technology, the team finds that the transportation isn't as instant as it should be. It turns out that the portals are passing through somewhere very unpleasant, and before long all Hell breaks loose. You, a Marine, arrive on the Mars base just as things start to go awry. It's not long before you are on your own, and soon after you wish you still were. As the power starts to fail you become increasingly dependent on your torch to see what's lurking in the shadows (and you have to quickly change over to a weapon if it looks particularly unfriendly, as hitting an attacking demon with the torch doesn't get you very far). Occasionally you have to brave the Martian atmosphere with a respirator, but mostly you are wandering around the decimated base, picking up PDA's and data discs left around by the hapless UAC staff. These provide emails, voice recordings and reports that are essential information for your mission (to kick a lot of demon butt). The radio transmission of dying comrades, cut scenes of demon attacks and the eerie silence (with occasional loud machine noises from automatically operating plant) add to the creepy game-play, although most of the tension comes from the gloom and darkness. Plus there's no stealth mode, so you can't hide in the shadows - although running like the clappers can help. The game has many levels: e.g. Mars City Underground, The Alpha & Delta Labs, Communications, Central Processing, The Monorail, and even a brief jaunt into Hell itself, before you have to face.........aargh! There are all the old weapons plus a few new ones: grenades, a machine gun and a mysterious alien artefact.

And the game play is very scary, plus you need a fast gaming PC to respond in time when attacked or it's all over. At least you can save anytime. It took me a few weeks to complete the game, as towards the end it gets a bit too hard (I found it easier just to use health and ammo cheats then). Also the odd level exit can be difficult to fathom out. But overall it was a very enjoyable, if rather creepy, game - it's not for preteens though. Highly recommended if you have a very fast PC, and now at a bargain price. There's also the expansion pack (Resurrection of Evil) available. If you enjoy Doom 3, do try Thief III: Deadly Shadows - it's the exact opposite of doom 3 in a way as it's based on stealth and stealing and is set in a rather surreal medieval age, but it also has superbly atmospheric and tense game play (if not quite as slick as Doom 3).

Damn scary! They brought back all the original monsters and upgraded just a bit, same with the weapons, the chainsaw will take down even a big boss with minimal problems, stick and move, stick and move....
I like the addition of the PDA for codes and such, the graphics are fantastic and it's still alot of fun to play....

enjoy!

My mouth was gaped throughout the whole thing!

This game is AMAZING! I just played the demo, and I still thought it was amazing, the graphics were awe-inspiring, and the game developed the characters, before they killed them all! ID was at it's prime when they made Doom 3.
The game starts out in a millitary base on mars (I know what you're thinking... "how cliche'", but don't be forced off track with this predictable plot, I'm just getting started. You are assigned to retreive a scientist from the neighboring base, so you get your gun, your armor, so-on-and-so-forth. And you get to the scientist, (he sounds like Walter Chaing from Tremors), he tells you "You don't know what I've seen..." and there is a sudden explosion, you look to your right and see a glowing, luminescent portal, about 3 or so "lost souls" come out of it, don't worry, they won't hurt you, you now look to your left and your little scientist friend is now a zombie, kill him (this is starting to sound like a walkthrough isn't it), then another zombie comes at you, there will be a few more zombies on the way back to the base. When you get to the base, you will encounter an Imp, these are hard to kill and swipe at you, causing extreme damage. Thats all I'm going to say. But I will say this (redundant, yes, informative, also yes) This game is extremely violent. Not reccomended for the kid-o's, (although I'm using the kids review, I'm not) there is also loads of fowl language at the begining of the game.

Excellent graphics, creepy gameplay, too repetitive though

Doom 3 was an excellent at creating a newer realm of scary gameplay to go along with an interesting story. The creators brought back the usual bag of tricks, pulling out the imps that look more realistic, along with the lost souls, archvile's, cacodemon's, etc. I've usually always been the kind of gamer who doesn't get scared easily at all when it comes to the horror genre of gaming, but ID Software did a good job at keeping you on the edge of your seat and jumping...Cause I certainly did that and Doom 3 was a bit more nerve-racking too alongside FEAR having that kind of gamer's effect. I thought they could've taken the horizon's to some more area's too and not just in these dark chambers and corridors. It keeps the gamer in that closed environment which is what kept us all awake, but they could've brought it to other places and worlds and, perhaps, expanded the story a bit. I thought it was very cool when you traveled to Hell. They did a good job at making everything look real as far as the visual effects were concerned, the moving lava in Hell was good and so were the environment effects. Overall, Doom 3 was a nice fresh from the popular and old-fashion-style Doom, but hey, even the first one is still fun every now-and-then. I'm not going to review the Expansion Pack cause what I have to say is similar to my review for the original. Thanks !
