No matter what you read on all the big review sites you will always see them compare this game to the PC version. Im not sure when video games becasme something more than a toy or entertainment device. This game is fun, plain and simple. Its fun the shoot the undead people, or beat them down or however you choose to kill them. The aliens are also fun to shoot.

The sound is fantastic. The gun sound effects and monster noises are very well done and really draw you into the game.

The graphics are great! The graphics in the game really set the mood of the game.

The colectors edition also has the old version of doom included. Very cool!

Its worth the price of entry.

Learn to love the darkness.

Many people have stated that this is the scariest game that they had ever played. Now, I have never really been that scared with a video game so I gave it a try nonetheless. Soon I found myself jumping out of my seat and dropping the controler to the floor. This game constantly figures out new ways to scare you. Sometimes the lights go out and a demon stares you in the face when you turn on your flashlight, sometimes the demons come from above you.

This game will scare you. Deny it all you want but once you play through it (if you make it through, that is) and tell me that you never once jumped, or screamed, or even had second thoughs about entering one of the twisted rooms in fear...

A little perspective...

I see some folks complaining that Game A is better than Doom, Game B has this but Doom doesn't... well, Doom ISN'T those other games. It's not Halo, it's not Splinter Cell... it's the granddaddy of first person shooters. It's a great game to turn the lights out, turn up the sound... and get the beejebbus scared outta you! If you come in trying to compare it to something else, you're missing the point completely. Doom 3 is best as a singular experience with you, the dark, a single flashlight and the stuff of nightmares around every corner. GIve a great game it's due and judge it for yourself. If you want to get your feet wet, the May issue of Official Xbox magazine will include a Doom 3 demo. Try before you buy. THEN make your own decision.

Ho Ho.. Doom 3, Doom 2, Ultimate doom, all in the same box! oh yes..
After playing the PC version and really enjoying it, i figured, hey, i have an xbox, i have xbox live, the PC requires updates, and drivers, and crashes, and blah, blah, i had issues with pc version,
I bought doom3 knowing what was in store, and it is still an amazing game.
As for realism - there is something missing from the Game engine, that would have been so amazing if it was there, Some of the lighting in the game cause the enemies/Demons/characters, to cast real time shadows, one of the aspects that bring a new depth of realism to the visuals, except, your character, the main man, does not cast any shadows on walls, or on floor, this would have been quite special.
I still don't know what to make of the Online multiplayer deathmatch - it's really only any good if the players are of a similar skill, a case of, 1st with the rocket launcher, gets the frags, although if you are in the mood for it, it is good fun.
I do love the graphics, and the little spot effects, the tin cans on the tables, that u can shoot, kicking various things around, and watching how the light affects their shadows, i love watching that stuff.
The game DOES make you jump, not any more tho, than a cheesey horror flick, difference being, this is a very interactive horror film, with a beginning, middle and end, there is a set way thru it, its not as free as people would like.
For me, the best way to play it, is, in the dark, at night, with headphones, or if u have surround, it probably is the best way to experience the game.
Sound is amazing, graphics are amazing, gameplay is good, big complaint seems to be the flicking of weapon and flashlight, which is understandable, but it does add 'something' that i just cant put my finger on. The playability does not break new ground, but the atmosphere and graphics certainly do.

It is GREAT that we have the original doom on there, cause i loved it way back then. Actually, gonna play it now!
Overall, a very impressive package.

Doom 3 Collector's Edition

First off, I love Doom. I have loved the franchise since the first time I played it. The series has aways been great, but not to scary. Not any more. Doom 3 is an enhancement on everything that Id Software has brought us before.

The moment I started the game, I was hooked. I was playing non-stop, and was terrified the entire time. Id Software has taken Doom to an unimaginable level of detail, fun, and terror. The game has a lot more story this time, but not enough to where you will be playing for twelve hours before you fire your weapon. Basically, you are a marine stationed at the Union Aerospace Corporation, (UAC) where teleportation is being extenisivley researched. Something goes wrong, and a gateway to hell is opened. After that, the game consists of shooting, dying, and screaming in terror.

A lot of people complain about not being able to use your flashlight and gun at the same time. This highly trained marine can wield guns of all types, take multiple hits before dying, and can hold off the entire populus of Hell by himself, but he just can't seem to figure out duct-tape. It seems really stupid, but it adds terror to the game. I for one, think that it was a good move on Id Software's part.

Now, if this was all that Doom 3 had to offer, I could stop right now. But, there is online multiplayer, and online cooperation, which is exclusive to the Xbox version. Also, if you can afford to shell out the extra ten dollars to buy the Collector's Edition, do so. The Collector's Edition includes concept art, developer interviews, and an entire episode of Icons showcasing the history of Id Software. All in all, this game is great.

10/10

Doom 3 Collector's Edition - Xbox

I bought the Xbox system and Doom 3 Collector's Edition from my local Wal-Mart Supercenter over a month ago, and I haven't regretted it since. Doom 3 is one bada$$ first-person shooter game with incredibly realistic graphics, dark eerie levels filled with creepy looking monsters and zombies, lots of blood and violence, awesome weapons, and a very atmospheric soundtrack. Playing this game is like seeing every drop of ink coming to life in a tattoo parlor! This game starts out peacefully enough; no monsters, no zombies, nothing unusual happening.......yet! Once you accomplish your objective of finding the "missing scientist" ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!! So sit back, relax, and enjoy your soon-to-be unforgettable journey to hell and back. Also, I highly recommend that you purchase the Doom 3 Players Guide by Prima; trust me, you'll need it! I kept getting lost and couldn't seem to find my way out, so I went back to Wal-Mart Supercenter and bought this guide. It certainly comes in handy. Oh yeah, I'm sick of reading all of the negative reviews of people complaining about this game, saying it's too dark! let me point out that Doom 3 is a sci-fi-action-HORROR game! It's supposed to be dark! And if you don't like it, then go back to playing Atari and Nintendo! Id Software said themselves that they wanted to "create a really scary version of Doom." And like it or not, this is it. It's Doom 3. Take it or leave it. Everybody has the right to their own opinion, and MY opinion is that Doom 3 rocks! This game has scared the daylights out of me on more than one occasion, and I like that!

This Collector's Edition also includes PC-perfect versions of Ultimate Doom & Doom II, and I'm pleased that they added those two classics on here as extras. However, I wish they wouldn't have left out Final Doom, or as I sometimes call it, the "Forgotten Doom." Among the extras are interviews from id Software, and not ONCE do they mention anything about Final Doom. Oh well, I can't complain. I recommend this game to id Software fan everywhere. This entry fits perfectly with the Xbox console.

One of the Best Games for XBOX

Being a fan of all the other Doom games I figured that this one wouldn't let me down and I was right. Great graphics, story, weapons and effects. It's hard to turn this game off, it's one of those you want to play continiously. I can't think of any flaws. I recommend getting the official strategy guide so you can find all the weapons, ammo, ect... and so you won't get lost, which is easy to do without it. To make a long story short, buy this game.. get the Collectors edition (which is only $10 more), it's worth it. Doom 2 and Ultimate Doom are some of the bonus features as well as interviews, the making of the game and some other stuff.

A Casual Gamers Review of Doom 3 (Xbox)

I played the demo from OXM a while back and, frankly, it scared the crap out of me. As a fan of horror movies and the like, I was hooked. So, a few months later, I was lucky enough to get a gift certificate from Amazon and Doom 3 Collectors Edition was on sale, so I took the plunge.

Now for my disclaimer of the day: if you're a parent getting this for your kids, be warned. This game is quite frightening, to say the least. I'm in my early 30's and this game almost made me wet myself on more than one occasion.

That said, all the levels on this game are a blast. I'm actually playing through it again right now. Yeah, there are quite a few places where a flashlight would come in handy, but I think that diminishes the effect id was going for.

Multiplayer is very cool, too, but I wish more people played on Live with Doom 3 (could just be that I have a slow DSL connection....). The bonus features in the disc are great, too. A "Making Of" type documentary on Doom 3 done by G4TV, concept sketches, and best of all, the Original Doom (single-player only).

Now that the Collectors Edition is only 20 bucks (and the regular edition is 30 as of this writing...go figure), there's no excuse not to get this game now if you haven't already.

Awesome!

Some game players will tell you that graphics aren't everything. And others will tell you that, on the contrary, graphics are truly important for a game. Doom 3 makes a compelling case for both sides of the argument. On one hand, its gameplay has noticeable shortcomings, and its competitive multiplayer mode--which is a focal point of most of today's shooters, thanks in large part to id Software's own contributions in the past--seems like an afterthought. On the other hand, Doom 3 is a spectacular game in the truest sense, and it's therefore by all means worth experiencing by those with an interest in witnessing just how far the technology of gaming has come along. Fortunately, the actual game itself, while not as remarkable as the technology that fuels it, is put together well enough to make Doom 3 legitimately great, all things considered.

Very Fun!

I enjoy this game very much, especially since its got the original Ultimate Doom and Doom II classic games on them as well. I like how incredibly smooth it runs on the classic games, especially if its on four player split-screen co-op or even deathmatch. I'm glad I got this game for my XBox 360! Its so much fun! The new Doom 3 is awesome as well!
