I've seen some scathing reviews on this game here. Some go into so much length you won't even finish reading them. I don't see what the problem is, myself. I have an ATHLON XP 2800 with a GeForce FX 5600 and a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ,plus 512 meg of DDR ram, and this thing ran perfectly. Even on 1024X768 with *most* of the features turned all the way up. As far as fear factor, give me a break guys! I catch myself jumping every couple of minutes. That never happenned to me with the original Doom. That game was awesome, but suffered only because of 'when' it was created. Computers just couldn't truly deliver what ID wanted for the game. This program has outstanding graphics, great physics, and LOADS of atmosphere. And they throw literally DOZENS of different freak-show baddies at you throughout this game. Great detailing on the faces too. The best vocal lip-syncing I've seen yet. I just got out of the labs and am about to find out what my next step is. I can't wait to finish this game! I couldn't be more satisfied than i am with this. The only point i wish were followed deeper is the fact that you are 'ON' Mars But you do very little on the surface. Most of this takes place in different 'compounds' on the surface. But, that's not a gripe worth worrying about. Anyone who can handle gore and the extreme haunted house environment should try this out. It's truly amazing!

(...)I was one of the few lucky ones to be able to play Doom III Using the 3 level Demo that E3 released. I must say that the game accomplished what it was intended for, to scare the living daylights out of you. I played the Alpha Leak on a 1.8Ghz 512mb ram with a Geforce 4. It was laggy but I'm sure it will run better once the retail is out. Doom III has the best lighting and shading I've ever seen in a game ever. The game is like walking around in a scary haunted house with a gun. The models for the zombies and monsters are insanely realistic. It's dark, bloody, and scary and I look forward to playing the retail version. One word of advice, if you think the zombie is dead, he is not!

Misunderstood genius in the works? Possibly. Hardcore multiplayer deathmatch junkies abound choke, jaw dropping, and eyes tearing up in addict style form. "Did someone just say... D3 will only support FOUR players in multiplayer???! OMG!"

Well sorry to drop the news, but yes, id Software has announced they will indeed be abandoning the near legendary theme of 'deathmatch' mayhem in upcoming Doom III: The Legacy, the very same theme that previously ensured Doom and id a permanent spot of PC gaming infamy.

So does this mean it's the end of the world? Hardly. Check out any popular online PC game review group site (PC IGN, Gamespot, Gamespy, just to name a few). The purpose behind D3 was to scare the living daylights out of the player -- in a SINGLE PLAYER setting. Goal accomplished. Don't be disappointed in a lack of emphasis on multiplayer action. If Doom 1, 2, Quake 1, 2, 3, Unreal and Unreal 2003 weren't enough to quench your need for constant, uninterrupted, mindless slaughter of the closest living creature over and over and over again, hey, Quake 4's coming up soon. Why would a company with a series like Quake on its roster bother to make another game of the same concept with a different title, i.e. Doom? Afterall, boys and girls, that -is-what Quake is for.

Drool. Shudder. Buy the game. Covet your lovely BFG reincarnation and all will be well with the world. ;)

The Third and Best Doom So Far!

Doom 3(2004). The Third PC Game In The Doom Series.

Back in the Early 90's, when the computers where still hitting their stride, and video games were the last thing on people's minds, two revolutionary games were released. Those games were 'Wolfenstein 3D' and 'Doom'. Both games became immensely popular, so it's no surprise numerous sequels have been released for each game. 'Doom 2' was a worthy followup to 'Doom', but brought nothing new to the table. Now, in 2004, Id releases 'Doom 3', in full 3D surroundings with realistic graphics! So, is 'Doom 3' an overhyped disaster, or the game that lived up to everyone's expectations? Read on to find out!

Game Ratings-

Graphics- 'Doom 3's biggest draw has been its revolutionary graphics, so it's no surprise here what to expect. Character Designs are scarily real, the atmosphere you walk in feels almost as if you are in it, in other words, you feel the blood on the walls, and see the demons jumping out of the shadows, as if it's real. A very surreal experience. 5/5

Play Control- Although I'm not a huge fan of PC controls, there's nothing to complain about here, as 'Doom 3' easily places the FPS controls to make it easy for the gamer, and I found it a breeze to run around and blast demons. 5/5

Plot- 'Doom 3', much like 'Half-Life', has a phenomenal, and deeply horrifying plot. 'Doom 3' revolves around a Lab on the Planet of Mars accidentally opening a portal to hell, and you must fight off Mars and through demons to survive. The story is very enthralling, and once you start playing, it's hard to stop! 5/5

Challenge- 'Doom 3', while not as challenging as 'Half-Life', is still puzzling and hard in many ways. Most of the game, you are forced to fight multiple enemies at once, it dark surroundings(Much like the Aliens Vs. Predator series), and one of the most challenging things about the games is recovering after getting scared after a monster jumps out of nowhere. Also, as with the old games, you will be asked to recover keys, cards, etc. to continue your game, which is always a challenge. 5/5

Replay Value- 'Doom 3' is basically a Single Player game, and once you finish, really the only thing you can do is replay it. There is Multiplayer, but it only allows up to 4 players and isn't nearly as fun as the Single Player adventures. I wasn't too impressed. 2/5

Sound/Music- 'Doom 3' sports excellent sound, so good, in fact, that I found myself muting the sound for fear I would scream! In extremely dark, quiet rooms, when a demon jumps out of nowhere, making a ton of noise, it can get very scary! The sound is flawless in other words! 5/5

Fun- 'Doom 3', although not much different from other FPS's, still remains incredibly fun, and blasting your way through the demons to escape Mars will have you hooked once you pick the controller up!5/5

Overall, 'Doom 3' is a very good sequel to the first two Doom's, and now that it's got 3D and Pixel-Shaded atmospheres, it brings a whole new aspect to the game! Well deserving of all the hype, but I can't wait for 'Half-Life 2'!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO FANS OF FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS, THE ORIGINAL DOOM GAMES, AND PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE SCARED! WARNING- DOOM 3 REQUIRES A REALLY GOOD COMPUTER, AND ALSO IT'S VERY SCARY AND QUITE VIOLENT AND DISTURBING! NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PEOPLE UNDER 13!

Half-Life- PC
Unreal Tournament 2004- PC

The facts about Doom 3 and what you'll need to run it

There is a lot of false information floating around on the internet about what kind of super computer you'll need to run Doom 3. Here is what we know:

John Carmack, who is programming the graphics of the game, has stated that you'll be able to run Doom 3 with all graphicsdetails at a reasonable framerate (probably around 30 fps) with a Geforce 3. Anything below that (Geforce 2, Radeon DDR) and you will have to turn down a lot of the details to get it to run well.

Doom 3 is designed for a Geforce 1 level class of card, so any DirectX 7 card with hardware T&L will be able to display all the effects.

Doom 3 was shown at Quakecon running on a P4 2.2 GHZ with a Radeon 9700. It has been shown twice on the Radeon 9700, and was shown at a higher resolution and framerate the second time. This means the code is improving, and a Radeon 9700/Geforce 4 card should be able to run the game smoothly with all the details turned up.

If you're wondering if you should upgrade now, you could hold off until early 2003 when newer cards are being released. A Geforce 4 or Radeon 9700 should run the game great, but there will better cards available by the time of release.

Could this be the best Doom EVER?!

I have seen several movies of Doom 3, and I got a close look at the game when I went to E3 in L.A. a few months back. Overall in the show, this game was one of my favorites. I love Id software, and hopefully, they will make Doom 3 an awesome game. So far, they are fully on track! In an early preview build, the game featured terrific sound, great gameplay that was similar to that of UT 2003, another awesome game, but most of all, the game had a mind-blowing graphical engine, which demonstrated unbelievable graphical power never before shown in a PC game. The game stepped away from the original two games in terms of style. Doom 3 will still be an FPS, but instead of side scrolling 2D gaming, it is an amazing shooter more along the lines of Unreal or Star trek Elite Force. In fact, the game played almost exactly like these two games mentioned here. Doom 3 is still very far away from being released, and there weren't too many details, but I think that we all could be in for a treat when 2004 rolls around!

Yes! Well at least I hope it's as good as I want it to be. Otherwise we will be screwed with another Unreal 2, but I have confidence in Id's ability to make a fantastic single player game (with some coop for xbox players).

With luck, it will also beat the shiznat out of Resident Evil in terms of fear factor.
