A classic "kill anything that moves" sci-fi shooter that'll leave you on the edge of your seat as the game progresses.
Some people love classic old-school shooters like these where you just pretty much kill anything that moves with a dull storyline. Others don't. I personally enjoy first person shooters such as these but I felt the storyline was way to weak and dull for my taste. On the other hand, there are a few things in this game that makes it definetely worthy of a good rating. I felt some of the pros in this included the amazing and realistic graphics, the sound in this game, I can hardly put to words. The screeches and roars of the monsters are truly terrifying along with the dark and dead silence of zombies sneaking up behind you all will make you feel a little insecure at times. This game takes place in an extremely dark setting throughout the entire game. Simply put, you will never be safe. There will always be monsters around throwing you around, sucking your blood, shooting at you, smacking you, etc. This is the genuine feeling sci-fi shooter fans dream of. Doom 3 will put you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire game but don't be suprised if you suddenly feel turned off by some of the same repetitive, daunting tasks. My advice; take a day or two break and you'll be craving for Doom again. It's just that type of a game. The story tends to drag on for awhile where for one moment you think the game is about to end and it just keeps going to the point where it's just sort of annoying and more of a job to beat the game then for the pure joy of killing ugly space creatures.
Pros:
-Amazing, realistic graphics
-Truly remarkable and groundbreaking sound
-Scary setting that keeps you on the edge of your seat every minute of the game
-Just plain fun
Cons:
-Slow and dull storyline
-Too long, game seems to drag
-Some noticeable bugs
-A very annoying villain who isn't even scary when he trys ;)
All in all, I had quite a blast playing this game but my advice is if you want to have the most enjoyable time with this game is, do not try to beat this game all in one sitting. It will get boring and repetitive. If you take frequent breaks and play for a reasonable amount of time, this is one game you won't have regret purchasing.
