DOOM 3

 

After what seems an eternity, Doom 3 is finally released.   They have improved the graphics, as you can see from the screen shot behind.  They have improved the model designs beyond even Half Life 2 but, it’s too dark.  When playing this game all I could think was rip of.  It’s so much like Half Life in the story department but, that’s not a bad thing.

 

The usual events happen, assuming you’ve played the first two games.  Some scientist are messing around with space again and all of a sudden a portal opens, letting a group of demon looking dude out and they’ve come to chew bubble gum and kick arse.  They just happen to be out of bubble gum.  So they attack random individuals on the base.  You only know that something is a miss when the guy you were talking to a minute ago is now turned into a zombie.  So off with his head , out of there as fast as you can run and shoot.

 

The usual weapons are here including the now infamous B.F.G.  This time you do get some help from a robot sentry thing.  It’s a bit like a robot dog with serious firepower.  

 

I personally found the story to be engrossing.  There always seemed to be something knew that point you towards what might have caused this disaster.  I must admit that I personally found it a bit annoying when they tried to scare me by turning the lights off, every time the zombie dudes turned up.

 

Apart from that from that, this game rocks.  I am thinking of buying the add-on pack, it might be cheap now.  YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
