The main enemy is constantly telling you every half hour that 'your soul is mine'. There is no question this is the most evil game I have ever played and I feel incredibly slimed after playing through the game.

The pentagrams were more of a lighting affect on the floor and thus couldn't be seen quite as much. One thing I did notice is that in Doom III the pentagrams seemed to be toned down quite a lot since Doom and Doom II. Where you're using your flashlight almost exclusively in every room before the repetitive formula happens again and again. This is hell itself leading up to the “guardian” boss.Īs you can see from the screenshots above, darkness is an understatement in this game. You would think that this was only a couple times, but this set of sequences reoccurs the entire game.

Go past a certain point and two guys pop in front of you and a guy appears from a doorway in the wall behind you. Almost everything is scripted in the game and almost every room is the same thing. The game is very similar to id style only now after years since the first it only becomes dumber. The story is still the same story as the original Doom only retold. And after a better part of a decade to complete, and an all new engine to boot Doom III hits a sour note. So id sought to disprove this by almost totally focusing on the single player game of Doom III. Quake and Doom have been associated with 'kill big guy, find red key, find red door. Gameplay: Id has been long known for poor, weak, and just plain horrible story lines. With more pentagrams in the game than pellets of sand on a beach you get the idea that the game is really demonic. Both series have been largely rooted in the occult. Doom III is extremely dark, which is nothing new to id since Quake is the same. Arguably one of the most anticipated games of all time, Doom III first was shown two years ago. Coming from the same software company that brought you the Wolfenstein and Quake series, id seeks to create the greatest game yet. System Requirements: 1.5GHz P4 or Athlon XP 1500+įew games need an introduction and Doom III is one of them.
