Doom 3 (XBOX)

Strengths: Incredible Graphics, Fun Gameplay, Great Challenge, Solid Gameplay length.

Weakness: None

I really liked this game. Having played my share of excellent first person shooters like goldeneye, half-life, deus ex, halo etc. I was really impressed with this game. I'd have to say this is probably the best graphics on the XBOX to date. The mood of the game is scary, in fact there will be times where you will get scared in this game. It's kind of like a first person shooter survival horror...

Doom 3

Strengths: Super Sweet graphics! Very Nice Cinematics! Scary Game In the Dark! Amazing 5.1 Surround Sound! Xbox live Gameplay! This game pushes Xbox Hardware to the max!

Weakness: A bit clunky auto aim control, Online game is weak & not many different game types!

I been waiting for this game for almost a year since I heard It's coming to XBOX, I had my doubts abot the PC ports as to weather the XBOX hardware would be able to handle it. But this really does live up to my expectation! I heard the Limited ed. copy had the old doom 1 & 2 (can't wait to pick up that) Pros: Graphic is Just simply amazing to look at, and with HD support it looks ever sweeter!...

Doom 3

Strengths: graphics

Doom III is one of the greatest single player first person shooters to arrive on the Xbox. The graphics engine is very impressive, even in the port to the Xbox. Gameplay is your standard FPS fare, with a great innovative option that allows you to map any four weapons you want to the D-Pad for quick access. It may seem like a 'small thing', but its actually a fantastic feature with the different...

Doom 3: Fun, but no frills

Strengths: Terrific graphics, co-op play

Weakness: Too straightforward, easy

There are many first person shooters out for the Xbox, so anytime I bother to play one, I look for something special. Doom 3 reminds us why classic gameplay is fun, but also underscores its weaknesses. Predictable level design is punctuated by frequently lunging enemies, but enemy AI is nothing special. Co-op mode is fun, although in the end, it's the visuals and good old fashioned action that...

Runs much better on Xbox than on most PCs with a few...

Strengths: Plenty of scares, definitely not too easy, monsters look great

Weakness: Same as PC: way too dark, too many cheap scares and ambushes. Like all shooters, easier to play with a mouse and keyboard than the Xbox controller

I gave up on the PC version---just way too demanding for my CPU and graphics card, way too choppy. The frame rate is surprisingly tolerable on the Xbox, although you don't get the cranked-up graphics that can be achieved on a PC with the right hardware. No surprises there. Still too dark. Why you can't use a flashlight and a gun at the same time is unfathomable, makes surviving some ambushes all...

Doom 3

Strengths: good graphics

Weakness: single player campaign short

Doom 3 is a first person shooter game. It has excellent graphics and game play. It has good audio and sound effects. There is alot of levels and weapons to choose from. At times it seems to be a bit repetitive. But overall I recommend buying this game or at least renting it.

Doom 3---one hell of a scare

Strengths: Graphics, atmosphere, will scare the sh*t outta you

Weakness: no innovation, multiplayer modes, too dark sometimes

Doom pretty much invented the FPS shooting genre. But don't expect Doom 3 do revolutionize the genre at any chance. The only thing different about Doom 3 from other FPS is the lighting effects. You'll be spending most of your time with your flash light trying to see where the heck you are going---and expect a lot a monsters to pop out of nowhere and attack you. Other than that, this is just your...

Doom 3 for the Microsoft Xbox

Strengths: + Graphics: While a downgrade from the PC version, the Xbox version still boasts incredible graphics. Perhaps the best out of any console shooter. + Scare factor

Weakness: - Gameplay is a bit formulaic. We've all seen and done this many years ago. - Limited replay value in single player

Doom 3 for the Xbox is definitely an achievement, to say the least. There were those expecting a terrible port of the PC version, so let me say that I was surprised to find that not only is this a competent port.. it's actually pretty dang good. The graphics are spectacular for a console first person shooter, and hold up well to the PC version. This game is very dark, so if you are easily scared,...

After a long wait Doom III is out and finnally out...

Strengths: Great presentation with the graphics & sounds, Co-op multiplayer mode is fun

Weakness: deathmatch mode is decent but not great

Doom 3 comes out after the long wait that doom fans had to endure as they haven't had a installment in the Doom series since the mid 90s and while it's not as ground breaking as Doom was back when it was released it still is a great game and does a very good job of bringing something different yet much like Doom was back in the day to a 1st-Person Shooter game on the current generation of game...

“TERRORIFFIC” – (no this is not a word it is a...

Strengths: As the title infers Doom III is an awesome game in that it offers an XBOX exclusive co-op mode that can be accomplished through system link or XBOX LIVE!

Weakness: However, even the greatest things haves its faults and Doom is no different. The main problem lies in the game physics – why can’t you hold on to a flashlight and gun at the same time?

Doom III was a highly anticipated first-person shooter that was released for the PC back in the year 2004. Upon release gamers everywhere rejoiced because it was one of the few games that actually lived up to its glorious hype. Some gamers were saddened because their PC failed to meet the benchmark requirements to run the game. Well for those gamers, Id Software ported over the PC Doom III to the...

DOOM 3

Be afraid of things that go bump in the night. But if the thing bumping is you, then be even more afraid of the things that chase the things that go bump in the night. While many games purport to ‘unleash hell’ or some facsimile thereof, when it comes to edge-of-the-seat terror, few can deliver like Doom 3. In 2004, the PC version of this anticipated title accomplished exactly what the...
