I took my time, but I finally ended Doom3. The only time I played it was at night with the lights off and the sound up. On top of that, I took my time to enjoy the scenery and ambience. In the end, I think Doom3 was a visually stunning FPS with a better-than-most story line. There were plenty of creepy junctures and jump-out-of-your-seat moments. All in all, the folks at id did a super job at maintaining the glory behind the Doom franchise as well as raising the bar in terms of 3D graphics. It was worth the $65.00 that I spent at Futureshop. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic even came bundled with it, but I haven’t taken a look at it yet.
I think UT2K4 will continue to be my online shooter mainstay until Half-Life2 is released.
