 Lord, may I register to go to Hell instead? February 22, 2008
Doom made Hell awesome, and this game made me want to be the marine. Sure it would make me crap my pants, but I think it would be kinda fun...lol okay so I really liked this one and it was almost a little bit scarier than Doom 3 (yes, I said it...). The downside for me was there is no Online Co-Op like Doom 3 had, which was fun, and what is up with the Download Content thing? I can't even select it, but I can see that it is there...If you enjoyed Doom 3, you should really get this game. The multiplayer is fun too! I liked that it continued with the Doom 3 story. P.S. If you have Doom 3 on the PC, get this on the PC because there are much better graphics, mods, and more! I think there is even a Doom 3:ROE Co-Op mod too! Have fun! WORTH THE PRICE TOO!!!

This is the expansion from Doom 3, so naturally it's not going to be the same length. Granted the price tag of thirty-five dollars for an expansion pack is extreme in itself. Honestly, it's ridiculous and should be longer than the average expansion. Unfortunately, after playing this, I don't think the story line should have been shorter. Maybe the production costs exceeded what the developers planned, or someone wants to cash in somewhere. Frankly, I think it was the right length for the story told rather than delving into tedium. But people do have merit in their complaint for such an outrageous price. I recommend waiting until you can get it used for a more reasonable price of twenty dollars (standard expansion price tag these days).
Anyway, on to the actual review. It looks like the developers tried to fix some of the things that people disliked in the first Doom 3 installment. For example the pistol has a flashlight on its end. A smarter move would have been to have a flashlight that attaches to your head, because that would actually make a lot more sense, ah well... at least you can shoot enemies while holding the light this time. The other thing that seems to have changed is that the game is a lot brighter for the most part. This was a huge improvement from the original Doom 3. There are really only two sections of the game where you are plunged into absolute darkness, so it doesn't feel nearly as daunting or annoying. On top of these changes they had two new weapons which were the double barreled shot gun and this other guy that affected gravity. Basically it's like the gravity gun from Half Life 2. Real original... I know. They also have a few more new enemies like the Hunters. I think they were the giant creatures that shot rockets at me at least. They were a lot more challenging than some of the other creatures in Doom 3, so these were a pretty good addition.
For the most part this game plays just like Doom 3 aside from the above mentioned changes, so to read about the rest of the game check out my review of Doom 3. The part of this game that was pretty lacking to me was the story line, which is why it got knocked down to three stars. At the end of Doom 3 you're left feeling that it is definitely left open for a sequel. However, the way they tied the two games together was pretty poor. After all the craziness in Doom 3, the researchers on the planet went right back to what they were doing before? And the part that confuses me after this game is that it sort of sounds like the threat of Hell coming into our dimension is closed forever... so does that mean they can't make another Doom? I don't know, the Doom story line was so misshapen that it was just hard to follow as you went along in the game... not to mention you're left wondering if you're the same marine from Doom 3? Nothing is mentioned about your character! I think one thing that also made the story feel a little less involving was the PDA's didn't have that many voice reports. I thought these were ingenious in the first game because it really felt you were affected by what's going on. Nothing says "get involved" like hearing real people's voices make reports. I thought it added a lot to the FPS atmosphere. There were a lot of PDA's to find throughout the game, but it didn't drive the story nearly as much as it did in Doom 3. So this lackluster play in a roughly six hour game really diminished the experience. Don't get me wrong, the environments were awesome, but the point of being there was really not clear.
If you liked Doom 3, then it is definitely worth getting the expansion pack. You don't get nearly as clear of a story line as in the first game, but you do get a conclusion to the game. Granted I had a hard time following the point of the story, but you find out what happened to your enemy that was around at the end of Doom 3. Anyway, they made some marginal improvements, but they could have done a lot better. Maybe I'm just spoiled because Half Life 2: Episode 1, had a superb story line with a cliffhanger ending that made me want more and Doom 3 just doesn't deliver that.
More DOOM can't be a bad thing... November 24, 2007
Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil is basically an XBOX port of the PC expansion pack of the same name. Like the original DOOM 3 before it, Resurrection of Evil manages to be a great port of a high-end PC title to the XBOX. The single player games manages to be very short-lived (less than 10 hours), but it manages to supplement this with some pretty good multiplayer modes, as well as the original DOOM and DOOM 2 in their entirety (these were previously included with the collectors' edition of DOOM 3). The action is fast and furious, as usual for the series, but it's over in record time. If you're a DOOM fan, you can do worse, and it's a good time while it lasts.

I loved Doom 3, despite it being a really pretty game with no depth. This really isn't too different. There are a few difference in weapons and objects, and it's pretty short, but since it's an expansion, that's all that's expected. This is a fun game, and if you can get it cheap enough, it's worth it. If you didn't like the first, you propable won't be converted on this one.
Call it Doom 3 2 January 12, 2007

The story takes place right where Doom 3 ended... same look same feel, some new guns, the levels, almost done backwards... all and all I was amused and killed a lot of time and HellKnights... so I was happy! :-)
