Doom 3 Collector's Edition is a MUST HAVE
Review created: 04/01/09(updated 04/01/09)

This game came out for the original Xbox and now that it's compatible with Xbox 360, you should buy it. If you're a fan of First Person Shooters, this is a great game to own but make sure you get the "Limited Collector's Edition" as it also contains 2 full versions of the classic games, Doom 2 and Ultimate Doom as bonus features on the disk. Doom 3 is a great game. While the story line isn't that great, the creepy-ness factor certainly is. Play this alone....in the dark...and expect to jump out of your seat a few times. Monsters come out of the shadows in the darkened Mars Research Facility you're exploring when you least expect it and the contrast between light and dark in the game is very strong, expect to use your flashlight....often. But that just adds to the vibe of the game as does the ambient noise in the game. Take my word for it, this is a scary game. And after having played Xbox 360 games for about 2 1/2 years now, I can honestly say that the graphics of this Xbox game aren't that far off. They hold up pretty well when compared to other games like Condemned or Bioshock.
Doom 3 has the perfect mix of FPS and puzzle-solving. You'll need to find keys to open doors, access computers and find hidden corridors...but it's not tedious enough to make you give up and play something else. The puzzles are challenging but they don't take away from the game and as you venture further into the depths of Hell, it just gets better....and scarier.
Give this a try. You can find it for about $15 and it's definitely worth playing. Especially if you're a gamer on a budget during this tough economic times.
