Doom 3, The greatest Horror fragfest ever imaginable

Dom 3 is so awesome. It blends scary gameplay and first person shooting into the scariest dang game you will ever play. If you liked Cuthulu: Call of Darkness, then you will fall in love with this game.
The best aspect of it is Single Player. You go through every room never knowing if or what is going to jump out at you. It could be nothing or it could be a Hellknight. You never know.
The graphics. Oh my gosh. How did Id do that magic it did. These are simply put the best darn graphics you will ever see in an origional Xbox game. They blast Halo 2 away and greatly rival that of Splinter Cell and Far Cry Instincts.
Controls. The controls take a little getting used to but in just a couple of minutes you will be running and gunning like you'd been doing it all your life. You can even program your favorite weapons to each direction in the D-pad for instant switching action.
Weapons. These are some of the wierdest looking guns i have ever seen. The pistol looks like it got smashe to pieces and then glued back together and and the Machine Gun is just plain dumb looking even though it is one of the most useful weapons in the game. My personal favorite, and i think i speak for most others is definatly the Shotgun. It is powerful up close and lets you take out enemies double time.
The game goes back to race for the Biggest gun (the Rocket Launcher) multiplayer. Whoever has it is more than likely going to win. I much prefer Co-Op Single player because it is as much fun as normal single player.

One of the greatest Horror FPS's out there

Your are a marine sent to Mars to investigate the strange occurances in the labs as well as in Mars City. Lights have been going out for no reason, people have heard whispers when nobody's been around, more cases of insanity have occured, and people are leaving more often for unusual reasons. From the beginning, you know something is not right, but you're trained for this. After you delve deeper into the truth though, you soon find that this might be bigger than just disappearances. Once you find one of the people the base shakes and a portal to Hell is opened up. While in this chaos a strange fiery skull jumps into the scientist you have been sent to secure and he becomes a strange monster similar to a zombie.

This is when your comfort zone sinks to the bottom of the scale. You are thrown into a dark world that seems to have no end. Most of the hallways are barely lit forcing you to pull out your trusty flashlight. But this isn't Halo, so you must either hold out your weapon or keep your flashlight out. You can attack with your flashlight, I just don't recommend it unless you are low on ammo. Speaking of which, ammo can run out quickly in this entry but you can always score some more if you pick up other people's PDA's. Finding them can be kind of hard sometimes though, because of the poor lighting in some of the rooms.

The gameplay is pretty solid though, most of your mission are just move from point A to point B while trying to survive. Sometimes, doors will be locked and you wil have to find a key or somebody's PDA to access the lock. The enemies are extremely creepy. The zombies hide very well but the demons in this game can be warped to your location.

Some of the eerie effects of this game are not B-grade either (well maybe once but that wasn't a huge one). Sometimes a well lit room will lose the lights (including your flashlight) and then reapper will monsters around. Others include creepy visions where things are not right with the inclusion of voices in the background, quiet voices. But the absolute creepy one has to be the living landscapes similar to those seen in the Silent Hill games. You'll enter a room and things seem to be alive, add to the fact you can sometimes see corpses of men talking to you with ripped out insides.

You will love this game if you love FPS or are fans of the series in general. Keep in mind though that this is not the same game as the first two in the fact that enemies do not swarm you or respawn constantly.

Pros
- Great Storyline, a first real in-depth storyline
- Creepy lighting effects
- The eerie things that can happen to you such as the lights going out and hearing voices
- The enemies are done wonderfully
- The survival horror aspect where you must conserve ammo
- Awesome graphics
- The ability to play online co-op, which is exclusive to the Xbox game

Cons
- The graphics are not as good as those on the PC
- Its easy to get lost in the complex due to identical rooms

What the hell?

Doom3 is undoubtubley one of the best horror/ intense combat FPSs ever! It is so frickin' annoying when other reviewers give Doom 3 a low rating because of their religion! I have faith in god, yet I still love this game! STOP DISSING THIS GAME!

Very Scary and Fun, too repetitive

This game is a lot of fun at first. It is also very scary. You're just walking along in an empty room and suddenly a headless zombie just jumps out at you or some terrifying other creature. It makes you jump and gasp a lot. It has great graphics and fun gameplay, but it takes too long of doing the same thing. What I mean is, you just go through room after room, killing a few zombies and monsters here and there. You also have to figure out some stuff because sometimes you have to find someone or find a security code or something. But it just keeps on going like that, room after room until you get bored and just stop. I've had the game since Christmas, and I play almost everyday for like an hour, get bored quit, and do it again the next day. It would probably take like 4 days to get through that one section if you played it nonstop. It just takes too much time repeating for true gamers like myself. Don't get me wrong, it's very fun and scary, it's just too repetitive for my taste. I'd say rent it and see if it's too long for you, then make a desicion. Don't buy it first.

Awesome game.....but didnt it feel to short?

i really liked this game. the single player was great, the co-op even better and the multi is also fun...but i passed the game in one day....i felt like it was kinda short but on the bright side co-op and multi give the game that extra mile, making the games replay value pretty decent if not high. great game go buy it and stop reading about it!!

Simply disturbing...

I'll just keep this short and simple--I've been a Doom fan since the beginning and the old versions were creepy, but as for this version...the title of my review says it all! Make sure you have a loud sound system with surround sound, turn the lights off, and get ready for your hair to stand on end!

Just one final note--many complain about the flashlight, but I think it adds an element of challenge to the game...how fast can you grab your weapon before you get pummeled?!?

quit comparing

a lot of these reviews are comparing this game to more tactical shooters like halo and counter strike, complaining about the ai and such. but no one understands that this game is just too damn fun. often times in halo im frustrated from dying because of skilled enemies (not that skilled enemies is a bad thing). doom 3 is simply fun. i never get frustrated, and i love the incredible atmosphere. doom wasn't meant to be halo, it was meant to be doom. in my opinion, they're 2 very different games and you should play both of them. plus, doom 3 has something halo 2 doesn't have... on-line co-op.

oops i craped my pants

seriously the dumb ass reviewers that mock this game can go straight to hell cause doom 3 is hell on mars lol. so ive been playing this game continously for months trying to dissect it and you can trust me that the graphics are the best and game play is perfect this is just the beggining. when it comes to levels becuase there are 38 in total so you cant get bored cause it has so many thats twice as many as halo 2 which was dissapointing in that aspect.

so what are is everone waiting for well get it and you can also get doom 3 resurection of evil which is even better because theres adouble barrel shot gun.

I know everything

A lot of peple are comparing the latest in the series, Doom 3 to the original Mario Brothers game. Both rely heavily on the x38 algorithm in regards to enemy AI and both involve infiltrating a castle as a means to save a princess (human or swine, lolz). The music is classic just like in the original and makes a lot improvements on the actually game play, especially the castle level. As a big fan of the Mario Bro's series I can give what is considered by many to be an expert opinion and I say Doom 3 is good, but not great.
