Hell on Mars
Your character is a low-ranking Marine on a routine rotation to the Mars Research Facility of the United Aerospace Corporation (UAC). That's pretty much all the backstory you need. Doom 3 is a bit skimpy in the storyline department, but rich plotting and character development have never been the focus of the Doom franchise. Action is the name of the game here, and we found plenty. After a few minutes of wandering through the facility, listening to rumors about impending catastrophe from the staff (remember Half-Life?), it was time to start shooting. We fought our way through dark, lavishly detailed environments until finally doing battle with pure evil in the depths of hell. Although the game offers no opportunities to explore the Martian setting apart from the linear corridors of the research facility, good level design and well-crafted sound effects succeeded at scaring the living heck out of us all the way through.
 Fearsome monsters. Dimly lit environments. The perfect recipe for horror. |
Groaning zombies and the sudden leaping attack of an eleven-eyed Imp are just the beginning of the horror and anxiety in Doom 3. Floating Cacodemons attack from above with a mouthful of teeth... ethereal Revenants fire flesh-seeking missiles with deadly accuracy... a swarm of spider-like Trites skitter down the corridor, hungry for blood. Although the enemy AI in Doom 3 is less crafty than we would have liked, the incredible variety of enemies--each with a unique style of attack--outweighs this shortcoming somewhat.
Guns, Guns, Guns
While there are many powerful weapons in the game, they are designed to force players to anticipate and plan for firefights. For instance, we liked wielding the chaingun to shred enemies at longer ranges, but the weapon devours ammo and using it on close-range targets was a waste of bullets. We quickly learned to switch to the shotgun or the chainsaw to dispatch foes at close range.
One piece of hardware, the flashlight, was a point of both salvation and frustration for us. Doom 3 is a dark game and many enemies know how to take advantage of it. You'll often find yourself switching back and forth between your weapons and your flashlight just to see what's lurking ahead. This problem might easily be solved by duct-taping the flashlight to your equipped weapon, but, alas, we found no duct tape on Mars.
Looking Good
Doom 3 looks incredible. Every room is exquisitely detailed, from the shimmer of the air near a heat source to the texture of a hamburger sitting on the counter of the company mess hall. Id obviously went all out designing every creature in the game and their realism makes them all the more horrifying. The eye candy does come at a price, though, and we were forced to play at fairly low resolution even on a Pentium IV 2.8 GHz and an ATI Radeon 9500. Even so, gameplay was smooth as silk. For higher resolutions (1024 x 768 and above) the latest generation of ATI or Nvidia cards is suggested. --Joshua Gunn

Customer Reviews of Doom 3
Be afraid of the dark again There you are, on Mars. Your creeping behind, and suddenly, "AIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!" YOu shoot, but unfortunaly, your dead before you can press the trigger button. You realize that maybe your brother and sister wre right, the dark is really scary. <
> That's just what you will think while playing Doom 3, and you will never see a single jitter, stutter of freeze, even when there are a million zombies shooting at you. If you ever thoguht that the Xbbox was the most powerful system, this is your chance to show everybody. And the game does just that. NOt only your creeping through the dark, battling demons, flying heads, imps, and red strobe lights(well trying to see through them), you are shottiong for your life in classic shooting fashion. IF you trigger finger entuhsiats ever wanted something like this, heaven ihas given you what you want(ironically, somthing abouth hell). <
> That's why, in 15v hours, Doom 3 is a wonder into the most scariest place in existance: Hell. And you will always be scared, whatever you running from, you'll find out why kids wre afraid of thae Dark. Only for real. And when I say real, you mean it. EVery single effect, you can feel it. Dripping pipes, dead bodies, effects such as strobe light effects and brutal murders that don't even do anything to you except test your bravery. And you won't be doing it wiht shame, you'll be firing classic first person weapons that shoot as beatiful as they look.This aint no 32X doom. <
> And when you people finish the game, go online for some cooperative fun, and you and your friends can both hold hands(just kidding). <
> It may be no Halo killer, but if you certainly don't have this you can get it now, because it now is only 20 dollars. And sometimes the graphics are as pretty as some 360 games. <

A CLASSIC FPS SERIES ARRIVE ON XBOX.
Yep-no all we need is 007 goldeneye-and not made by ea!-But by RARE of coasre!
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.
