 Scary - both for you and your computer, 2007-06-19
This game is amazing in the graphics and sound department, allwing it to be rather freaky (altough I still find System Shock 2 more scary - I know, its an old game). It's scary for your machine in that, if you try to run it at full effects and resolution, your machine is probably trying maddly to keep up.
For all you who played this in its original iteration of Doom, then there should be some nostalgic moments for you, but dont expect the game to be a complete remake.
I give it five stars.

Like playing a (real) scary movie!, 2007-05-30
Man this game is nuts! If you want an easygoing laid back game look elsewhere. This game had me on the edge of my seat everytime I played. The visuals are spectacular, very dark, flickering lights, and excellent atmosphere are complimented by great ambient sounds and SFX. The story is told through gameplay and through PDA's you find scattered around, by snooping and reading people's emails you can see what was going on at the UAC Mars Base. The game can be quite shocking and is therefore not suitable for young kids, but anyone mature enough with nerves of steel will love this game.
ps. multi-player could be better in all honesty.

Doom 3: The true "final" doom, 2007-05-23
Eep! Doom 3! The game that truly made history. If it wasn't for sneak peaks, this game would have petrified players, especially those wholike me, saw it grow from the 90's. The PC version comes with 3CDs, a manual and even a disclaimer from id Software recommending and cautioning (lol) about playing this game in the dark with speakers on loud!
Doom 3 retains its storyline of the UAC on Mars. This time though, the plot has more depth (I won't ruin it for you). The graphics of course have been much acclaimed. They truly are mind-blowing; even the machine for this game is. Monsters respawn if you backtrack but never in the same location twice! This helps in keeping you on your toes. Levels are also well balanced (although there are a few ambush-spots). Health packs are scattered throughoutthe level but now there are health can also be "recharged" around 10 times. These are found in special rooms on the walls. Also, Doom 3 now doesn't have the mindless killing like its predecessors. Now, the player has missions, some even as basic as finding scientists and PDAs! The monsters are diverse (each monster has a cutscene introducing them....and sometimes just watch out for hints...with your speakers on high), and so are the weapons (including the "living and breathing" one). Also, the concept of bosses is now more emphasized. So much for the pros.
Now the cons. Storyline has depth, but there are 27 (around) levels! I doubt even the first Doom games had these many. The only variation of these levels arethat they either take place inside the UAC building or outside in the red heat of the planet (and that's not even for long anyway). Only the last few levels have some more variety. The player even makes a trip to Hell, which amazed me, but that was before I was made to go there again. Much as I love the monsters, I'll admit they aren't all...well-balanced. The Imps probably appear well over a hundred times (not exaggerating) throughout the entire game! The Pinkys on the other hand only appear 10 to 15 times. The Hell Knights make appearances even fewer than the Pinkeys. But despite this imbalance, the process of them appearing and them disappearing happens too fast. I rarely get a chance to absorb the "evolution" id Software has effected upon these monsters. Most of these appear in dark places, and they are very agile (except for the zombies but they get boring in while) and move very fast. They also evaporate after being killed (or the PC'd collapse integrating all the corpses into its memory). The darkness, though very important in setting up the eerie atmosphere inthe game, gets a little redundant as the player has to constantly switch from flashlight to weapon. But I think there is a patch that tapes the flashlight on the pistol =).
Even though it might seem that this game has more cons than pros, every gamer must do it justice by experiencing it!
Doom 3 : The PC Game, 2007-05-13
Doom 3 is a good buy if you are a fan of PC Games as a passtime. The graphics in this game is very high quality so that you would enjoy it all through. Its definitely better than its predecessors. Unless you are worried about wasting too much time playing games and not working at all over long periods (may be weeks together) you are fit for this game. If you are an amature, you would be wasting some time figuring out what to do. Once you have figured out that bit it is highly addictive.
Overall, if you are looking for taking some time out of work to do nothing buy this game. You wont regret!
