Okay, if you want my full review please check it out on the non collector's edition for Xbox.

Anyway, this includes interviews, concept art, and behind the scenes videos to this game. The best part of this disk though is the inclusion of the the full playable versions of Ultimate Doom and Doom II. These two games, while not as revolutionary or scary as the 3rd, are great for old memories and for the co-op mode. Sure the games are pretty straight forward and don't have a lot of storyline, but back in the day this stuff was scary to people who played it. While you may laugh at the bad models of the game I see what people were talking about. It was revolutionary because it was a rather new concept back then so there wasn't much to expect. Nowadays we've got more revolutionary technology that can add the inclusion of realism.

The interviews and behinds the scenes are nice to watch. They include a lot of what they were thinking back then and what they wanted to keep in the 3rd installment.

Pros
- Full playable versions of Ultimate Doom and Doom II
- Interviews with staff
- A documentry by G4's Icons
- Concept art behind the 3rd game
- Awesome tin case with great artwork on it

One of the best first person shooters

This game is really is awesome. I am actually rating 3 games since this is the collectors edition it comes ultimate doom and doom 2. I will review Doom 3 first. This game is very fun and scary as hell that is where you go actually after a few hours. This game has a pletiful amount of demons to fight and they have the awesome hellknights. The graphics are amazing and really push the Xbox's graphical limits even farther and the they add so much detail to the enviroments and demons that it makes the game much more scary. Now I will review Ultimate Doom and Doom 2. These games are much different than Doom 3. The graphics aren't as good but it is scary. The control are easy to use. When I think of Ultimate Doom and Doom 2 on Doom 3 I think of them more as mini games but they are still really fun. Ultimate Doom and Doom 2 are recommended to anyone. This is a warning Doom 3 is not recommended to everyone because it is very scary and it is not recommended to the faint of heart but if you can stand it you will be able to enjoy these fun games.

Halo bow down to your master!

Okay,let me tell you,no,let me order you-if you want one of the most frightening,visceral,sweaty,heartpounding,and unholy experiences on your x-box,or just period,drop everything and buy this now!And if you want to complain and not give this game the props it deserves then stop reading this and go dunk your head in a turd filled toilet and open your mouth.I was looking forward to this one on the box for a long time and when I finally got my hands on it,it failed to disappoint and never stopped ceasing to amaze me.When I finished the game I wanted to tell the guys at Id "thank you" for giving me such an intense,thrilling,and excellent gaming experience.Let me tell you,everytime you pick up the controller,you will feel the anxiety about what's coming up.Everytime you open a door to a new area,you will feel the creeping fear of what's hiding in the ever consuming darkness.As you advance in the game,you will literally feel the evil taking over your x-box.And that is a great thing because it shows that Id really put alot of time into creating the feel and atmosphere of this game.Everything is 5 star-the graphics(some of the best you'll ever see),the music(the haunting sounds notch up the fear factor),sound effects(don't tell me you don't feel the fright when that evil laughing comes out of nowhere or when you hear the roars of the hell knight),and other things that you will see.There are naysayers and oponents of this game,some who say that the enemies are dumb,they don't strategize to kill you.IDIOTS-demons strategizing-stupid.They come right at you like animals.Have you ever heard of animals strategizing to kill you.No.They jusy attack.These people need to go back to playing Socom or f--king Splinter Cell.Doom 3 is neither of these.Then there are those who say ,"where are the puzzles?".I don't want to spend all my time solving puzzles and getting frustrated playing this-if you do,go play f--king Tetris.Then we have the,"it's the same as the original Dooms."Morons.What the hell have they been looking at-a damn wall?Halo 2 is basically the same as Halo.Where are these morons to say that.Nowhere,but it is a masterpiece?Huh?It is nigh time that the gaming industry(that especially includes the mags)and the gaming public stop sucking the d--k of the flavor game of the month and see the real quality.Yes,see Doom 3 collector's edition (with the Doom 1 & 2 for fans).See it,get it,NOW!

and i thought resident evil was a scary game...

i remember playin resident evil on PS2 and gettin the crap scared out of me, but this is just rediculous. 90% of the reason that it is scary is probably because of the lighting. just about every room is dark with flickering lights. some rooms even go pitch black which almost gave me a freakin heart attack. it really feels like you are the marine in this game. i would probably kill myself if i was in his situation. one of the scariest moments i had in this game was...

the first time you get the chainsaw...you kill a fat dude to get it then a door opens to let you move forward. well as soon as you go through this ALL the lights in the hallway and adjacent rooms go out and blood made pentagrams are splashed on the walls, floors, ceiling, etc and babies start crying, voices start whispering. i hid in a dark corner and waited for the lights to come back on because i almost sh*t my pants.

i recommend anyone who has a history of heart attacks do not play this game because it WILL give you one.

No Doom 3 Cooperative Play.

I already own the P.C. version. I bought the X-box Collectors Edition version only because I was led to believe it contained a coop split screen option. I later find out the split screen option only applies to Doom II and Ultimate Doom and NOT Doom 3. The advertising on the back of the collectors edition box leads the buyer to believe coop play is available in all three versions. Read the fine print. Buyer beware.

Think it again...

Well...Doom 3 is not what i expected, the graphic engine produces good graphics but sometimes they are too dark (maybe in order yo hide deficiencies) and sometimes is really confusing.

The sound is very well made with sound effets that help to maintain the attention.

The action is not as fast as in other games and some enemies are really really slow.

The limited edition disc includes "Ultimate Doom" and "Doom 2"...two classics (practically free) that are always welcome and the co-operative online mode can be fun.

Well...if you are thinking about buying Doom 3 i suggest that you rent the game before, then you decide. But definitely not a must-buy.

Wow!

I've been playing console games since the Atari 2600. My last "wow" moment on a console game was "Resident Evil" on Playstation. Well, Doom 3 is a another BIG 'wow' moment in console gaming history.

The graphics are beyond belief. I didn't know the Xbox was capable of such amazing graphics. You simply have to see it to believe it.

The gameplay is well done with many old friends (hello again shotgun) and new items and monsters as well.

If your over the hill like me, for an extra few bucks the collectors edition is well worth it, as you can play the original Doom games on your XBOX as well as find other bonus material on the CD. Pick this game up, you'll be glad you did!

the Best Game Ever made, THE REAL HALO, HALO2 KILLER

Painful as it is to admit, when DOOM III came to the PC, I was among those poor lost souls whose PCs couldn't handle the strain of playing it. After agonizing over the great reviews the PC version and not being able to play it, you can imagine my delight when DOOM III burst onto the Xbox a month or two later in all its gory glory. Ok, so it doesn't look as beautiful as on a top-of-the-line PC, but I have to say it looks pretty great all the same. And it plays great, too. The name DOOM isn't just a cool title, it's actually what this game is about. Death and destruction are the name of the game, all rendered with pristine textures and models. For the first few minutes of the game you will literally be afriad for your life. It will make you feel as if you are truly trapped in he dark with horrifying monsters. And though the graphics are some of the best of any Xbox game, the framerate never slows down once. But no game is perfect, and DOOM III does have a few (minor) shortcomings that I should mention.
First of all, though it looks and plays great, you realize after a while that the gameplay is actually very simplistic. Basically, you run around dark corridors, shoot monsters, and open doors with key-cards. There isn't much to it. However, this really doesn't matter because you'll be having too much fun blazing away at groups of zombies with your chaingun to notice it anyway. The gameplay (like the original DOOM for PC) is simple but fun.
One other gripe I have with this game is that some of the monsters seem to have much more bark than bite. The first time I encountered the ferocious-looking Demon (a remake version of Pinky from the original DOOM), I was already preparing to reload my last save game as I blasted away at it when, without much fanfare at all it just keeled over and died. It didn't even take away any of my health. This is true of many of the other monsters as well, making for some anticlimactic fights. Still, DOOM III is really fun to play, and there are some great weapons that you get after a while, such as the plasma rifle and chaingun (as well as the BFG 9000, a DOOM classic)which are really quite fun to shoot.
There are a few good reason's to by the collector's edition too, the main one being that you get Xbox ports of the classic DOOM and DOOM II, great games not available on the Xbox anywhere else. There are also some good commentaries and interviews if you're into that sort of thing.
All in all, DOOM III is a game worthy of any shooter fan's collection, and if you missed it on the PC, the Xbox version is a great alternative. It's a great experience, dark and sinister to the last and chock full of over-the-top violence and lots of really big guns. So if you;re looking for a good shooter and some genuinely unsettling atmosphere, pick this one up at your local Gamestop or here on Amazon, and you won't be disappointed.

Ive played and beaten the orginal Doom 3 for xbox then it was stolen, little did i know that this would lead to the purchase of this fantastic game. The game is the same as the orginal xbox version but the extra bonus features make it worth purchasing for diehard ID fans as well as those who enjoyed the orginal doom and doom 2. There is a bonus Tv special detailing the histroy of id's most famous creation(next to quake) the orginal doom and ultimate doom games for you old school players, as well as an art gallery and interviews with members who created the game. A glimpse into Carmacks brilliant mind a must have purchase for any die hard fan or anyone who had there orginal game stolen.:D
