    It's the atmosphere created by the outstanding people at id that makes Doom 3 standout from the crowd. The lights flicker on and off, enemies hide in the dark and wait for you, and you truly feel alone most of the time you're playing the game, which is surprising considering there are other characters that you work with.

    It feels much more like a mystery than a run'n'gun kind of game that people have become accustomed to after years of playing id games, and that is not a bad thing. This game has a real story and it's a really great one to boot.

    It's impossible for your heart not to race as you sweat out the fright of its peerless audio design, chattering voices and muffled sobs endlessly scraping at your senses. [Oct 2004, p.98]

    I amped up my machine for this game and it's worth it. I was blown away by the graphics, it's like actually being in there and that's 10x scarier than anything. When a game with this kind of evil pulls you right into it, it's definitely unsettling to say the least. I've been really limiting myself on when and how I play it. I only do a level per night and I go as slow as humanly possible to let my nerves get the full load of adrenaline and terror that each corner, closed door and hidden place where evil lurks provides. I was surprised with the story, it's like being dropped right in there, I wasn't ready to be so immersed in this kind of world.… Expand

    It has good graphics, but that is it! The gameplay sucks, you have to reload and you can't see a bloody thing! Wanna play a doom game? Buy Ultimate Doom and learn dosbox!… Expand
