It does the job nicely.

No matter what people say about this game being too simple (as in not introducing revolutionary FPS aspects), they are taking themselves too seriously. Comparing every FPS to the likes of Half-Life is foolish. The game is the 3rd installment in the Doom series, and anyone who is an experienced gamer, regardless of genre, most likely have played the mostly plotless, kill them all, the original Doom. The storyline may not be strong, but come on now, what did you expect from the Doom series. If you want story you should've bough an adventure game like Alone in the Dark.

This is about survival, killing anything that moves. Sure, I wonder about the fact that the game takes place in the future, but all you have is a weak flashlight to light the dark corridors. Is it just me, or do all space stations lack lighting purposefully (such as the Alien movies) so humans can get frightened? Anyway, those considerations aside, the game is very straightforward and the scare tactics gets old. Things to expect include if you get something important, expect more enemies to spawn, especially when you're walking down a corridor. This gets old, but it does the job especially when you're playing at night with all the lights off. The graphics engine nicely renders the indoor environments, and its success is transfered over by Quake 4 and FEAR.
