The gameplay is a very different in many regards, including the speed of the game and the combat. Generic and repetitive gameplayįans of the original two DOOM games may have a hard time adjusting to DOOM 3. If horror shooters are your thing, DOOM 3 is bound to please. The horror of DOOM 3 may be very monster closest syndrome, but nevertheless the monsters redesign mixed in with the great atmosphere create quite the horror experience. Often the player could go several levels without another horror scene, leaving it up to the monsters to do the scaring. There are some scripted horror scenes within the game which do their job well, but they are few and far between. Going up against a ten foot Hell Knight, face to face is certainly an intimidating experience. Like all the enemies here, they too are redesigned to blend in with the others, and to give have a more horror look to them in DOOM 3 - than to the Hell Knight of the early games. Of course, we can't forget about the big boys such as the Hell Knight. The imp is a more stealthy creature that tends to blend in with the environment, and can often sneak up on you, adding to the horror. That is not even including their ability to run along walls, and that they can shoot fireballs. The imp, for example, is now a gray creature with a humanoid figure that can jump extremely long distances and at great speed. The monsters themselves are very well redesigned, and give a higher sense of horror in comparison to that of the original games. If they work, which in DOOM 3 they do and do so well. It is the only circumstance where I will forgive a game for having jumpscares. They may sound like cheap jump scares, but they have great placement - it never becomes predictable. Despite the game having a great horror atmosphere that sends chills down the neck, its biggest frights come from the monster in the closet. It is what I describe as "monster closet syndrome". The levels are often quite dark, consisting of hidden areas where monsters tend to jump out of frequently. Unlike in the previous games in the series DOOM 3 very much focuses on horror, as oppose to the fast-paced over the top action. It is a game more about the action, and in this case horror, than the actual telling of a story. If the player was looking for an engaging and exciting story, DOOM 3 isn't going to provide it much like the originals. There is a slight change in the overall plot, but it isn't that interesting. ![]() If you have played the original DOOM, you will pretty much know how it is going to go. The story isn't anything fantastic but is more detailed than what you would find in the previous games - however, it is rather predictable. The Marine has no choice but to follow his superiors orders and attempt to stop the invasion before the demons can reach Earth. These entities begin killing, or possessing, all within the base. Upon finding the scientist in an old decommissioned communications facility, he warns the Marine that he is sending a message to Earth.īefore the scientist can finish explaining what is happening, the base comes under attack by demonic forces. The job is to search for a scientist from Delta Labs, Betruger's division, who has gone missing. On the shuttle Swan and Campbell travel to Mars in is the protagonist, an unnamed Marine Sergeant.Īfter signing in at the reception desk, the Marine is sent straight to Marine HQ for his first job. Malcolm Betruger, a ruthless man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants no matter the cost of both finances and lives, is the man leading the experiments.Īfter receiving too many complaints, the UAC board of directors send Councillor Elliot Swan and his bodyguard Jack Campbell to investigate what is happen on Mars. The plot to DOOM 3 is not that different from the original DOOM. It takes place on Mars in the distant future where experiments into teleportation are taking place. The first we are going to look into is, of course, DOOM 3, a reboot of the original game. In the review, I am going to cover all three of the DOOM 3 campaigns. Hell breaks loose againĭOOM 3: BFG Edition is the final installment to enter, before the release of the reboot later this week. Not to mention the low volume of audio logs, which give backstory into the plot. ![]() The only major faults of BFG Edition is the sluggish, and somewhat repetitive gameplay, of DOOM 3 and its additions. The inclusion of the Lost Mission campaign is a nice addition. ![]() BFG Edition brings in new enhanced graphics along other welcoming changes to the game, such as no longer having to hold the flashlight key down to use it. You can find my review for DOOM and DOOM 2here on GameSkinny. The pack also includes the original DOOM, and its sequel DOOM 2, with modernized controls.
