Time with product: 1

Strengths: Ambient, graphics, sound

Weaknesses: AI, monsters appearing randomly

Summary: This game would be perfect if it was called Alien. In fact the ambiant is just like an Alien movie, futuristic environment, blinking lights, strange noises, screams, dark, I've never played a game with such an ambient.The only thing I don't like is that the monsters appear anywhere anytime (well it's not random, it's ine the script) and the only thing they do is jumping at your face, no tactics, even the marines are dumb so it's not very fun to play. This game would be perfect with intelligent creatures that are coming from somewhere, with commandos raid, just like in Aliens VS Predator when you play with the Humans.

Strengths: Everthing About the game is extremely, ridiclously, & Geniously unique,intense, dramatic, realistic, powerful, evil, dark, seriously interesting,(to me it is, i don't care what people say) & feroious.

Weaknesses: Nothing.(Reminds me just like Doom, Doom 2, & also Final Doom)Just diverse story, overwhelmingly enhanced & improved graphics, different sound effects & music, & same but, changed enemy look.Kind of.

Summary: Doom 3 is a interesting & brutal game w/ extremely lots of digusting, disturbing, evil, violent, aggressive, choatic, & a massive a lot, extremely a lot of blood & gore.(in a good way) The story is diverse, unique intense, compelling, forceful & powerful, I can get into it & be seriously interested in the plotline, the dialogue, & everything about it.(in my opinion) I have a lot a lot a lot of patience & an open-mind w/the things that go on in this game, but, in a different way. Just!!! the weapons are the same which is good, I'm glad, & happy about.(memories & they didn't change)But, they're two new weapons in the game; which are the machine gun - w/one standard automatic unchangeable firing mode & holds 60 machine bullets in "one clip" & is very fast, accurate(only if you shoot it & hold the first mouse button down for a little bit but, just easily keep your reticle on the enemy & let go again, or you can hold it down but, that would make it inaccurate but, you can still hit the enemy really easily as long as you try hard to keep your reticle on the enemy) you can see how much ammo in total you have; on the back of the gun in front of you on the right side & ammo in the clip on the left side first numbers which is '60' or whatevers in the remaining clip, the reloading is fine w/me doesn't bother me, & finally a damaging gun or weapon. A lot of first person shooter games I've play'd the reloading time doesn't um, annoy me, or frustrates me, or pisses me off, if I'm in a hurry to shoot something or an enemy, I just don't mind it at all.(I just wait for it to reload & that's it. Over with! - realistic. I love how FPS games has that. It makes it more, what I just said, realistic, & naturally real-life how you have to do that) I'm sorry if I rambled on for too long or got you bored but, anyway. And, the other weapon or the second one is the "Soul Cube" Which I have never got yet, but, I've read about it, & etc.(I hope it's powerful, brutal, & also ridiculously effective) The whole game is perfectly,interestingly, & extraordinarily made, for a new, fresh, original, unique, diverse, & also dark experiences/game.(The next or another story installment for the series) Completely on it's own or whatever years after "Final Doom", I think I don't know. Anyway, the story, graphics, sound effects, music, script or dialogue, level design, atmosphere, levels you go through, or stages, the weapons, the way the game looks; shadows, lightning, particle effects, etc etc etc, the movement of the game, & the controls are responsive(to me in my opinion.), nothing wrong w/it, never complained at all, & I never do, & it's fine w/me, the way the interface or HUD looks - extremely, ridiculously, & geniously easy, quick, responsive, & precise, the mood, the darkness, & the evilness of the game, the gameplay is fine w/me doesn't botter me(I'm not a snobb, but, maybe a little picky about certain games I "want" to love so much, get into, or be interested in, etc) Etc., Just everything about this game "DOOM 3" is Extremely amazing, ridiculously unblieveable, & Geniously incredible.(And, any other thing I said about it, above!!!) Do anything you want to do, It's up to you if you want to buy it, I don't care what you do.(or; if you don't care about it(Doom 3), your not interested in it, not your kind of game,(or whatever the case may be), don't want to play it or don't want to have it or don't want to buy it, don't want to keep it, you want to sell it, trade it in, etc. Whatever, you desperately want to do, doesn't matter in your own personal opinion, of what you think about the game(DOOM 3). You got details about it of what you saw or of what you've read, or etc.(or, anywhere else or anything else, where you got information about the game or where you got information, specifications, aspects, & etc about the game from) Conclusion & Overall I love it a lot, really a lot, extremely a lot, & so much.

Time with product: 2 Years

Strengths: oooooooo it has the name"doom" on it (sarcasum)

Weaknesses: way too freekin linier, corrador based and a shiny new version of the same old crap...

Summary: with all the time id spent making this crap you'd think thay would have made a realy good game. but all the hype is utter crap. after the initial release it went 2 months before making an expantion to "STEAL" half life 2's gravity gun and why even try, thay dont even have any interactivity with the world around you other than barrels....yes only barrels....same old crap with a new face...so after running back an forth through the same map 5 times in the same level you will get my point as to why this will never make game of the year..... and as you all probibly now see no one wants to mod it cause theres no point when you have a real game to mod ie.HALF LIFE 2 ...GET A CLUE...... PEACE OUT FOOLS...

Time with product: 3 Weeks

Strengths: A single obviouse one GRAPHICS. Complexity and creativity in environment. Scary, hard to stop playing.

Weaknesses: NONE ( if you are expecting excessive action then this isnt for you ).

Summary: Considering the overwhelming graphics it is important that people know that you need at least a $1300 system to completely utalize Doom 3. If you are the kind of person that loves to get scared, then stop reading this and buy the game. Because nothing will give you the "whats around the corner" creeps more than this. The graphics at full are absolutely hypnotic, that paired with 2 good speakers and the lights out you will forget you are sitting in the comfort of you own home. And a note for parents with kids: Unless you ENJOY waking up to the sound of your kids having nightmares,DONT let them play this!
