Doom 3

To me, Video Games are an Art, because it's about creating new worlds with their own new rules and laws, the sensations experienced with Video Games appear to be different from anything you can ever feel with any other sentiment stimulator's such as some products of various types of Art or drugs. therefore Video Games are very unique achievement of humanity.

First things first. I think it's impossible to talk on Doom III and not to mention Graphics, the key element to make Doom III a cult game. Making Doom III with revolutionary game engines, graphics workstations and some other advanced technologies, in which I understand very little, turned it into truly marvelous and brilliant visual experience, which is really unique. Compilation of red (blood) and black (darkness) is something worth seeing. I think in the aspect of graphics, Doom III is a flawless game and it obviously deserved its award on MTV Video Games awards received in nomination of best computer graphics of 2004. And one more thing: I think the sound mixing in Doom III was really the best ever.

Horror aspect in Doom III: I'm saying yes, it was scary and creepy as Hell, I have never been in such harrowing atmosphere of horror and fear since those Resident Evil worlds. I think It was achieved by manifold factors: monsters design was really awesome, they looked indeed scary, their unpredictable and versatile movements made my heart beat faster every time I was facing them. I kept having them in my nightmares long after I finished Doom III. As for discontents of some gamers about too many so called 'cheap shocks' (unexpected appearances of monsters from corners, sudden sounds of absorbing screams etc.) in game, I'd say that it's quite normal in such type of games. It's not a movie, it's a game and shocks can't be cheap in here. the effect of unexpectedness can be manipulated endlessly in the Video games. Another factor is the genre of the game: mixture of Science Fiction and Horror. Such combinations always work, at least it helps to create the proper milieu. Didn't really like those mystic elements attending the game though. All those esoteric and mysterious things like ghosts and souls and flying heads seemed a bit out of place. The setting and storyline were a huge contributor to the horror aspect. wandering around various facilities on Mars and constantly being attacked by various kind of monsters from zombies with chainsaws to giant unidentified dreadful objects was scary.

There is a lot of graphic violence in Doom III, which thanks to great graphics looks realistic, but in context it is mild. The perfect example of difference between graphic and content violence is GTA. In GTA you decapitate a passer by with a chainsaw and the next few seconds the only thing you can see on the screen is streams of gallons of human blood in slow motion gushing from the headless body, and that is as violent as it gets but graphically it looks cartoonish and unreal. In the case of Doom III, every drop of blood, every human organ so cautiously partitioned from the body has a very realistic look and it affects, but you can't argue that in context despite the graphical depiction, killing hundreds of ordinary people in the streets without any reason using several tools from medieval weaponry to modern rocket propelled grenades is much more violent than terminating the army of evil creatures in order to save your own life and Earth. but, still, I enjoyed turning those baby face angels into pile of bloody flesh with my big shining chainsaw.

Doom III is a great Video Game. I loved it from the very first frame. I have some kind of illness and I am restricted by my doctor to play the Video Games for more than an hour per day, but in the case of Doom III I couldn't resist myself and I spent nights traveling through the marvelous world of truly impressive experience. Doom III might not be the best game ever, but it definitely is one of the best.

GOOD!!!! What more i can say??? It has good graphics and some cool and scary sounds that you've ever heard!!! And some of the upgrades of the boss were also better than the originals!!!

Now... The weapons... They were cool... The chainsaw was better than the original doom... The originals were the 2d and now the doom 3 was 3d!!! Trust me on this one...

It had scared me from the originals to the doom 3 sequel... It scared me when i played the game in the dark... You can also use your fist to punch out the monsters!!!

If you want to make a horror game... This is how they make it scary for everyone from doom fans...

It is a game fantasy that had started it all...

OK this game is not a let down. Some people complain about the simple thing that it is the same story and same concept as the first. Well its a remake so of course its going to be somewhat the same. When you first play the game i would suggest using headphones to up the fright level.

I think the demons were sweet. The weapons are very cool, but you wont even use half of them if you play smart. The demons are somewhat of a challenge, depending on what weapon you are using and where you hit them and you can take them down in a couple of shots.

Players may think that its stupid that you cant use your flashlight and a gun , but i think its a good idea because it adds to the suspense of the game. I will admit the multi-player is not very good but this was made to be a single player game. The co-op is extremely short.(averaging 4-6 while the single player is around 15-20). If you can look past the bad things like the flashlight and the multi player you will love this game. I highly suggest it.

Sorry but what did you expect? A new storyline? Fluffy smurfs that take over the universe in flying mushroom's.

No, its called Doom people, and from that title you can expect blood, guts, horror and dark atmosphere. It follows the original story of the first doom, sure we are going back to mars, but oh what a trip! I am one of those nut's that finished the game in a week. And loved every moment of it. The suspense kept me captivated through the whole game. Aterwards i sat back and went - whoa.

Was it too violent? I think not. towards the end it definitely kicks up a notch or two (people who have finished it will know what i mean) but it draws you back in, a new scare, you think you have seen it all and you are wrong. As for "pornographicaly violent" i think that is illegal...

I enjoyed it, i'd recommend it, ill buy the expansion. I'll see you out there!

Only reason so high is bc it's doom and also the horror vibe, I count this as apart of the main series, bc it takes place during the same year as doom 2016 I count this demon outbreak that we start is the same one we wake up in, in 2016 just the bases are on diff parts of mars the labs vutruger operates vs. The ones Hayden and Olivia operates ties in to make an amazing bigger overarching story. I've spent hours of my life making sense of this timeline and it just makes sense vutruger is getting defunded bc the lack of output he's producing due to Hayden bc he has argent energy they both wanna contact hell to get more power/energy so they do only vutruger is the one that messes it all up, this isn't explained exactly in 2016 we just wake up mid outbreak w little to no explaintion this not only ties up plot point w doom 2016 but a lot of the series like doom guy going to the past becoming a warrior using the soul cube way before eternal was even thought of also this explains why the guns the slayer uses in 2016 look exact to the ones in doom 3 even to the models and color I love this game it's flipping awesome and if you like doom games there's no reason you shouldn't at least like bfg edition.
