Doom 3is a classic. The graphics on this are very nice and the engine designed by iD provides excellent gameplay. This FPS is exciting and scary. This is probably the only game that I have to play with the lights on and the volume low. Late at night this game can be very heart pumping and thrilling. Unlike other games in which you don't get involved in it, Doom 3 draws you in and you become apart of the game.

To the makers of Doom 3...How Could You????
Call me old fashioned, but I miss the days where Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails produced the Soundtrack and you could run around shooting numerous aliens and monsters through amazing worlds.
I was very excited when I found out about this game. You see, I'm from the original Doom players for PC. The Xbox is my system of choice and I figured that it would be a perfect fit. I was very, very wrong.
The online play is too fast and a waste of time. If you want to have an epileptic seizure after 10 minutes of being killed over and over by online opponents. Online play with Doom 3 shows NO strategy.
The actual gameplay isn't very good. The graphics could be better and the screen was much too dark. I tried making the screen brighter (I also have HDTV) but it still didn't make much difference. Needless to say, I traded it in at my local game store within 3 days. It was a waste of money. If you are looking for a similar game to this, try all of the Quake series, Ghost Recon, Call of Duty and the Tom Clancy series of games. Those serve a much better purpose for action than this waste of time.

GREAT GAME3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
I WAS BIG FAN OF THE OLDER DOOM GAMES. THIS TAKES IT TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL! GOOD GRAFIX GOOD SOUND. I'M 35 YRS. OLD AND I JUMPED OUT OF MY SEAT A FEW TIMES. PLAY IT IN THE DARK FOR A REAL GOOD EXP. LOVE FPS GAMES AND THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST I'VE PLAYED.I'VE HEARD THIS IS THE FINAL DOOM GAME OF THE SERIES, I SURE HOPE NOT. I'D LOVE TO SEE WHAT A DOOM 4 COULD BRING! 2 THUMBS UP!!!

Playing in the dark is scary...but ALL the time?3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
First off, I liked Doom 3 (so hold off on the pitch forks and torches). The graphics are great no doubt, the gameplay is solid, very true, but as I've said earlier, it's just too damn dark. Not only is it dark, but its claustrophobic and repetitive in map layout. Some would argue that it's those two qualities that make this game good, but I say it's just too annoying, almost a cheap way out from a developers point of view, kinda like the use of Fog. Often times I kept hoping I'd get some light other than a computer monitor or the flash of my gun...never happens. Something else that annoyed me was the cheap way that demons spawned and leaped out of ready made closets as you passed by. Just when you thought you cleared the room, you'd be ambushed by another baddie from some stupid hole in the wall behind you. Like most magazine reviews noted: "What the heck are these guys doing in there while waiting for you to come along?!" True that!
As anyone should know, the biggest clincher for any great game is variety, and sadly there really isn't any of it going on. Things got dull fast since every turn just lead to yet another dark corridor, computer room, engineering room, sleeping quarters and if your lucky the occasional bleak and musty outdoor romp on Mars' dusty surface. And to be honest, those things get old and just don't do it for me after a few hours in. Look at the movie Aliens, sure it's one of the best sci-fi movies of all time, but could you imagine watching it for 12+ hours to see it thru til the end? I submit that you cannot, it will get old. Speaking of getting old, the whole premise/plot of D3 can be found in just about any medium you pull from the genre (movie and game alike). So there wasn't anything revolutionary going on.
Okay, that was the bad (still reading?). Despite all that, I still liked Doom 3. Why? Because even in all it's gratuitous darkness and been-there-done-that hallways/rooms your still made to be apprehensive and scared to make your next move (cram all D3's creepiness into 90 minutes and it'd be Aliens). And despite it being a fantasy world, there seems to be a true sense of realism, you can almost smell the sweat and blood, pipes really seem to hiss with pressure, yells from afar and what little light seems to make us feel safe. Was this a bad game...no, was it revolutionary in gaming terms...not at all...but did it scare the crap out of me from time to time...you bet ya!

Hell yeahReview created: 10/18/06

First, I don't think anyone under the age of a teenager should even see this game. The game has a rating of Mature which I found to be a fair rating.
As far as games that are meant to make you feel you are there, this one comes really close when you are playing it in surround sound at midnight. The sound quality is great as are the graphics.
This is a first person shooter game, which as you can see by my other reviews, I enjoy playing.You begin as a marine coming to Mars where your new home awaits. Unfortunately for you as you begin your tour of the grounds all hell breaks loose, literally. Somehow the geniuses there have found a way to open a portal to Hell which does not boast well for the people that don't know this. Needless to say you need to find a way off this rock before the hellspawn and demons get you. If you like to play games in the dark, use a flashlight (which is a must at times), and use some cool weapons this game should fit that bill. I found the story to be quite entertaining as I made my way through different tasks slaughtering demons, hellspawns, zombies, and other baddies.
With the price this game can be picked up for today you can't loose, unless your afraid of the dark.

Its a good game playing it by yourself but it needs a bit more better gameplay. the rest is sweet. good graphics, i like the zombies or monsters that they created. they are really realistic looking although now its not so great since ive seen what the xbox 360 can pull off. but otherwise i would recommend this game if u just like to sit down and enjoy a game. if u are an online gamer i wouldnt recommend this since no one really plays this anymore.

If you have a properly setup surround sound system, a room that you can darken, and a big enough TV (or sit REAL close), and you allow yourself to be drawn into the game, it'll freak you out.
I'm not going to spoil the story, but here's basically the game play: Enter room, arm weapon, wait for monsters to jump out of the shadows, shoot them, proceed to next room, repeat. This sounds boring, and at times it can be, but the ambience of the game (sounds, lighting, details, etc.) really make it creepy.
It's well worth a spin in your console. Recommended!

Xbox: Doom 31 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Being a fan of the entire doom series beginning with the first doom, my expectations were high when I heard about its release. I was not disappointed. Excellent graphics, multiple difficulty levels, and scary as hell monsters a just a few of the great things about this game. It does a great job of getting you used to the controls and sets the stage with a decent backstory. For any FPS game lover out there, this game is a must and I highly recommend it.

Doom 3 (XBOX)Review created: 10/23/09
by:
I bought this game for my XBOX, I had Doom 3 for Mac, so I can say I am a Doom Fan!
This game runs beautifully. No technical problems whatsoever.
The story is a Classic Doom scenario, fleshed out with compelling backstory. The graphics are great!
This game is definitely creepy. Enemies sound appropriately hellish, as do the various ambient sounds. The voice acting is a very important element here, and it meets the challenge as well. Of course, the game is also extremely dark, and the player must constantly be on guard against things jumping out from hiding places in full attack mode.
This games is perfect if you play it at night with a big screen!
In bottom line if you like horror, desperation, dread and fear... you owe it to yourself to get this game.

Doom 3This is one of the best first person shooters out there. Even though it's a bit old, it's still a great game to play. If you like first person shooters and supernatural things, then this game is for you.

Doom 3 on the Xbox - emulated on the Xbox 360.Game works flawlessly as an emulated Xbox game on the Xbox 360 console. The graphics are not as sharp as the PC version of the game or any of the newer Xbox 360 Doom 3 engine games like Quake IV and Prey.
I noticed that some of the early levels are cut down versions of the PC versions of those levels. For example, before you report to Sarge at the beginning of the game, you can go into a break room where you can talk to a few characters and play the Super Turkey Punch arcade game. Also, when you first go to retrieve the missing scientist before all Hell breaks loose, you do not have to go out into the Martian environment.
Overall, it is a good Xbox game when compared to other Xbox titles. The controller layout is smooth, and the aiming is decent for a FPS game on a console.
This game is worth it if you can find a new (unopened) to good condition (used) game for around $10 or less.

Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:
http://www.youtube.com/wa
Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally
takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you,
this is 100% real. I will answer you on any question! Here is what you
do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is
the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete
the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This
is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3
different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with
nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!
There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use
them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day
free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the
same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you.
After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people
(depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link
(just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your
referrals before the auction even ends.)
Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it ! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes
toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own
