Re: Doom 3
I got it earlier today and it's your basic FPS through most of the early going ( walk down a hallway, kill something, and repeat ). All of the base looks unique though so it doesn't feel like you're walking down the same hall throughout.
An added element that I like so far is you have to decide whether to equip your flashlight or your weapon. If you're in a very dark room with things approaching, you can either see them ( without being able to damage them ) or shoot half blindly.
My computer ( P4/2.4 ghz, ATI Radeon 9800 128 MB, 512 MB ) runs it fairly lag free on 800x600 and medium video settings.
The motive for me to finish each level so far has been to reach the "Hell" level where you actually go through the portal into their realm. I've seen a few videos of this and it looks pretty amazing. Other than that, it's all about finding keys and getting out of the level ( ala classic Doom )
I'd say buy it if you're a big FPS fan, but the only earthshatterting thing about it has been the graphics. Everything else is pretty much by the book ( that I've seen anyway ).
I'm not that far into the game so you might want to take what I've said with a grain of salt. Who knows, something interesting might happen soon.
