4Spooky, scary, and fun FPS that fans of the series will love., Sep 25, 2023
Despite the suggestion by another reviewer (whose "review" seems more like an ad for how great his computer is as he doesn't reveal his opinion of the game) that I shouldn't bother wasting anybody's time by reviewing the game because I'm running it on an older system, here goes:
I played the game on a dual 1.25 GHz G4 Power Mac with 1.25 GB of RAM and the new Radeon 9600 Pro with 256 MB VRAM. I got the best performance setting up the game to run 640x480 with bump mapping set to ON, FSAA at 2x, and all other advanced features set to OFF. The frame rate wasn't spectacular, but it was acceptable. Given the low resolution and lack of visual enhancements, I was seriously surprised to see how good the game looked. Obviously, the game will be much better on a G5 with one of the new graphics cards, but fans with older and less powerful systems can still play and have the game look good. If you can get away with it at all, make sure you turn the bump mapping on. It makes a huge difference in how realistic people and creatures look.
The game itself is a lot of fun. The environment and the slightly hokey aspect that keeps you from being able to use your flashlight and a weapon at the same time keep the game scary and enjoyable. The use of the PDA to offer hints and access to new areas is a cool idea, similar to the system used in Metroid Prime for the GameCube. Gameplay will be pretty familiar for fans of the series. Although a remarkable technical achievement, Doom 3 doesn't offer much more than the last two installments in terms of game mechanics: shooting zombies and demons in tight, dark, spooky places is still the order of the day.
This is a great FPS that fans of the series will love. If you have a dual processor G5 with an X800 graphics card to play this game, I envy you. But if you have a reasonable G4 system, you should be able to join in the fun, too. I sure did.

4Good, I assume, Jul 28, 2023
Doom 3 is one of the most intense, scary, gory, horrific first-person-shooters in existence. It wastes no time getting right into the action and substantial, though not deep, plot. However, a good 65% of the way through the overall game, a glitch occured, apparently disabling me from making any more progress through the game. I stepped onto an elevator and pressed the up button. The elevator went up about a foot and stopped, even though the only walkthrough in existence clearly states that it is supposed to continue onto the next level. Despite this flaw disabling me from competing the game, I did thoroughly enjoy what I did get to play. I strongly recommend this game.

2not a game you want to play on the mac, Jul 23, 2023
I personally have decided to switch to the Mac from th PC to save space. I got rid of My Pc network and just have an Imac 20" 2.0Ghz, a 1.25 ghz mac mini, and I still keep my homebuilt PC around for when I need it. I have tried playing this game both on the mac mini an the imac G5. First I would like to mention I don't know how people got good performance on the mac mini, or let me refrase that, got this game to work at all on the mac mini ! You cannot play this game on the Mac Mini I tried, there is no way. People who say this game plays well on the mac mini are smoking something. This game does not even play that well on my new G5 2.0ghz imac ! My homebuilt 3.0ghz plays this game about twice as fast as the imac does. I still had my old 1.7ghz celeron processor that I used before I upgraded my pc to 3.0ghz laying around on my desk. So for kicks I decided to put in the 1.7ghz celeron back into my pc. Even with the slower 1.7ghz celeron the pc is about twice as fast as the imac even when it is clocked 300mhz slower ! Both systems have a 128mb video card. The pc has a 128mb Geforce 6600 GT Extreme and the Imac has a 128 mb Radeon 9600. If you plan on getting decent performance out of this game at ultra high resolutions and maximum detail settings I suggest you play this game on a dual G5 power mac.

I am not impressed at all with doom 3. My main purpose of doom 3 like the quake serious is for benchmarking purposes only. I found the game boring, unorigonal, lighting was to dark. I know its suppose to be dark, but come on it shouldn't be to the extent it ruins the game. All this game is about is shooting monsters up. Traveling in a linear fashion from scene to scene. Players kill all the monsters in one rom and then moving on to the next till they all have been destroyed. What a silly game. The only reason this game gets such godly reviews is because the graphics are supposedly the best, however I thought EQ 2 had a lot better graphics just my opinion. So I would recommend this game to anyone who just cares about graphics and little about the actual game.

5Spooky Perfection?, Jun 12, 2023
an FPS game with atmosphere? no it can't be....yes...yes it is!

for those of us who like games with a bit more than "RUN RUN KILL KILL" then this is definitely an investment. Plays "fine" on lower specs, though the usual Gamers will spit on you if you admit on playing it on a 64 card. But we'll just keep it a secret from them. :)

I used to be terrified of the NES version of Friday the 13th....
You can imagine how playing Doom3 is for me.

5Game of the year, Apr 17, 2023
This is one of the best games ever. I used to play the original Doom on the PC years ago, so when I saw this I had to grab it. Game play is excellent. The graphics are out of this world. The online multiplayer game play is great as well. This game runs wonderful on my Power Mac G5. My system specs are as follows:

Power Mac G5 1.8ghz single processor
3gb of RAM
256mb ATI graphics card


Listmania!
