Doom 3
April 22, 2008
I finally finished Doom 3 after weeks of 10-15 minute playing sessions.
Wow, Doom 3 has got to be one of the creepiest games I’ve ever played. There were times that the game really felt demonic – it went beyond a video game and sent chills down my spine. There were a few times when I couldn’t bring myself to play at night when the woman went to sleep.
The Cyberdemon was a beautiful creation. It was much more intimidating than the one back in the original Doom. Still, one begs to ask, where was that loveable thumping noise that he makes when he’s walking around?
Anyway, the game reminded me a lot of System Shock 2 with the PDA audio logs. Unfortunately it didn’t have the scope and the story of SS2. Most of the game was very linear and simple – find the exit by killing everything and trying to conserve ammo.
The shotgun was yet again the bread and butter weapon but I was very glad that my personal favorite Doom weapon, the plasma rifle, was just as cool and devasting as before.
