The first DOOM was a revolutionary gore-fest involving sending hell back to well.. Hell. DOOM 3 promised to send YOU to Hell and delivered in just about every way.

You gasp for breath; you've just destroyed a hell zombie hoard. CRASH! A piece of the wall collapses in and you rear back in utter fear, your pistol is out of ammo and an evil monster from hell is charging you with only one intent. Eat your mortal flesh for supper. You freak out, yell really loud, and proceed to be devoured. Congratulations you've just played DOOM 3. Change your pants. You’re a man now.

The first DOOM game was a revolutionary gore-fest involving sending hell back to well.. Hell. DOOM 3 promised me the same and delivered in just about every way. It promised visually orgasmic scenes, gory hell action, and my BFG.

Every single point DOOM 3 delivered on, except for being a revolutionary game. If you've played world changing games like Deus Ex for the past 6 years, you might be a bit disappointed in the awesome FPSness that is true to the core, but if you are disappointed, it won't matter. You've already pissed all over yourself and you can barely stutter out how disappointed you are. The game is jam packed full of insane scare action. Monsters jumping from nowhere, people getting possessed; it’s enough to scare anyone at least five times an hour.

That's really all there is to DOOM 3. There's a story that's pretty much circulated completely now, you're a lone marine who gets to send hell back to, well, hell because scientist have opened up hell. That's the plot, and if you're a fan of the first DOOM or DOOM 2 then you'll already be prepared for finding keys, opening doors, running away, and shooting gaggle upon gaggle of mutant zombie demons.

That's another point where id promised us DOOM 3 would deliver, FPS action; pure, intense, shooty death action. There's no magic (except for a thing called a Soul Cube that you use to kill a monster after the Soul Cube has been charged up with five dead monsters.. It's complicated) there's no choosing what team you want to be on. There's no upping your characters stats and it's not your kiddy game, nor is it your “solve the puzzle and spend 9 hours doing it” Resident Evil game.

DOOM 3 is one of a kind, unless you've played the first two or any other mid-90s FPS games. But even if you aren't in it for the story, or game play, you have to be in it for the visually stunning environments. Despite the ridiculous number of darkened rooms and the annoying lack of a flashlight on a gun the creepy horror film atmosphere is worth the game. It's like being in a twenty-something hour long horror movie, not only is it the scariest, but it's the best.

I give DOOM 3 a big 9/10 and plea that everyone plays this game or the demons will eat your flesh.
