Better than DOOM3

The guys at NERVE know what they are doing. I think I liked this better than DOOM3. They took alot of elements from the original DOOM too, like the exploding barrels, hidden corridors that opened up letting out demons, the strobe lights, etc. They have this sewer level which is just awesome. You put on this environment suit, and in the process it muffles all sound...the sound is just surreal hearing the gatling gun go off with explosions and screams all muffled like that. I never really found myself taking much advantage of the grabber gun though. It just wasnt practical when you had the doublebarrel shoutgun at your disposal. Basically I thought this is how DOOM3 should have played, alot because it reminded me so much of the original. If you didnt like DOOM3 too much, I would highly recommend trying the addon out, as its more of DOOM3 on steroids plus the feeling of the original.

Excellent improvements made, but cut a bit short!

Okay, first things first: The best two gaming engines out there at the moment are Doom and Havoc, without a doubt! Hell, I wouldn't put Half-Life 2 in the same league - firstly the game is for little girls and secondly the engine (if you can call it that *laughs*) is basically a rip-off of the Quake II/III source code anyway which id Software are fighting back on... now Resurrection of Evil...

The expansion pack takes the scares and the atmosphere of the original and ups-it bigtime! The story is simple - but this is Doom 3 and all I want to do is kick satan's red butt - right?? Goodies: You get the Super Shotgun from Doom II, the Grappler isn't actually the same as the Half-Life 2 Grappler because firstly it is known as the Ionized Plasma Levitator and second you can throw enemies fire and plasma attacks back at them - so it is really cool - a major saving grace! The Artifact replaces the soul cube and gives you three powers, I won't spoil it entirely but one of the powers being Hell-Time. This means you can slow time down to get through various doors before they shut and get the big meanies before they get you - also a major saving grace. The improvements made to this expansion pack really make up for some of the niggly problems with Doom 3 such as when you picked up an item and a baddie would pop-out, they've got rid of that problem. The Expansion is pretty short, half the length of Doom 3 but the enemies are much more interesting and varied now. Sadly no chainsaw - but the Levitator makes up for it I reckon cuz it is so CLASS!!!

Obviously the main thing that will keep Doom 3 going is the modding community and that was always the case - look at Quake III Arena for example. The Doom 3 engine is superb anyway - closesly matched by the Havoc Engine (Painkiller), however Doom 3 was a blast and Resurrection of Evil : Expansion Pack is no excepetion - overall I would say it was a significant improvement and I hope id Software will make a few more mods of the same calibre. In fact there are now some 'free' Doom 3 mods already in the pipeline on the internet (goto www.planetdoom.com for info) - Resurrection of Evil shows what you can actually achieve! Harder than Doom 3, shorter, maybe a bit expensive at the moment but I reckon it is still worth it, you know what? Just go get her!!

It's time to strap on the marine armor, load the shotgun, and take a deep breath as you walk down those dark halls. It's back to Mars to finish off an evil thought defeated in DOOM 3: Ressurection of Evil.

Taking place 2 years later, you (The Marine), return to Mars with more UAC military and scientists to find a signal hidden deep in the ancient caverns. There, you find an artifact, but you 'accidentally' cause Hell to once again come into your world, and now must use the strange artifact to seal Hell for good. Along the way you'll use 3 new weapons, the Artifact itself, the Grabber(Very useful tool), and the Double Barreled Shotgun (Thank you! A must see weapon! It's halarious). But certain demons want the artifact as well, and Dr. Betruger is well aware of it's existance.

Since this is an expansion, the plot may seem short at times. If you've played DOOM 3 and have beaten it in good time, you should be able to beat this in a couple of days, assuming you aren't too scared or don't have too much difficulty beating boss demons. The game also does get difficult fairly quickly, but the new weapons are there to even the odds. The double barrel shotgun is UNGODLY powerful! Want to drop something at point blank range? Use this and BLAMO! Sometimes I feel as if the double barrel shotgun takes the cake for best DOOM 3 weapon, heh. Or want to do something matrix like? The artifact is a powerful tool to use. I won't spoil it's powers, I'll simply say "You have to see it for yourself".

The graphics are fairly much the same, as you will drop your jaw at the scenary, especially when you're transported into Hell. And the use of sound effects and music are once again top notch, keeping you on the edge of your seat.

If you've played DOOM 3 and loved it, then get this expansion, it's easily worth it!

Really good game.

This grabber is so useful, you can grab boxes and shoot them into enemies. Double Barrel Shotgun is cool too.

More Blastin'

More goodies to see, more bad guys to blast.
Just can't get enough of the best 3D shooter so far...
You get so absorbed in this game that you have to give yourself a break every now and then. So much information to pay attention to like the surround sounds, who's in the shadows, what was that zooming by. :)

An excellent expansion for Doom 3

Basically, if you liked Doom 3 then you will love Resurrection of Evil. If you didn't care for Doom 3, then you will most likely not like this at all either. I loved Doom 3, so I was highly anticipating this expansion. This is even better than Doom 3 was. There is more variety, a quicker pace throughout, more action, and the length is perfect. I'm glad that this is shorter than Doom 3, because sometimes Doom 3 seemed to drag on a little bit too much towards the middle part of the game. The graphics are still absolutely beautiful and the new monsters and weapons are a welcome addition. The new grabber gun seems to be a copy of Half-Life 2's gravity gun but its still fun to use and the artifact(which replaced the soul cube) is a blast to use during puzzles or tough parts like hard enemies, bosses, etc. My favorite new addition however, is the double barrel shotgun which brings back good memories of Doom 2. Overall, if your craving more Doom 3 action then definitely don't hesitate to buy this.

Better than the original

This game is 10x better than the game it came with. Get this game and you will experience doom! The level designs are more interesting and frightening. The action is faster and makes you think quick. Much Much better than regular doom3.
