My Doom 3 review from UK gamer. Ok this is my review on Doom 3. While waiting for the release of this game I have read many reviews and threads about it, but remained impartial until I played the game. Kind of like the Swiss in WW2 sitting on the fence to see which side would win. :D Tempted by my inner demons :p to pirate this game, I resisted and the day finally came. I wanted to get the best out of the game so I defragged my drive, downloaded the latest version of DirectX, overclocked my videocard with the latest Omega drivers and did that little tweak in the DoomConfig.cfg then run the game. My 9800pro managed to give me High Detail with the res at 1024x768 and it was flying. No slowdown at all, if I went to Ultra High things went a bit slow during some of the major fire fights, and I didn’t want to play it like this. So I kept it on just high, and to be honest it was hard see any difference between the settings. The game plays like Doom 1 and 2, which some people didn’t like but ID have been stating all along that this is a remake so I didn’t expect to much from gameplay, and I was right. The game at parts became very tedious and repetitive, but this was remanded every time I meet a new bad ass from hell, the spawning from hell sure are a pretty bunch, and kept my interest in the game. Hell was just spectacular with what I describe as the best level design on any go so far, and for once being a Christian I actually welcomed going to hell. The scares of the game seemed a bit mundane maybe it is my age, but I never once felt frightened by any of the scenes; but the sound and the design did give for a general creepy experience. I don’t see much replay level to the game, and will only bring it out to pimp my PCs graphics superiority to my lame ass console friends. But overall an enjoyable experience.
I think this game is indeed the best game I've ever played. I like it because it scares me, though I've played it before. The gameplay is really rapid, you should always load your weapons, otherwise you would be torn apa... Read Full Review
This game is not for the faint of heart, the paranoid or the weak stomached. Playing this game alone in the dark with headphones at full blast is one of the most enjoyable if un-nerving experiances you can have with a ga... Read Full Review
