Doom 3

In the early 90s, a small town video game developer known as id Software released a first person shooter called Doom. Doom gave us a glimpse what games will be in the future. Then they released Doom 2 over a year later but took a break from the franchise when they released Quake and Quake 2. Over ten years later, Doom 3 hits shelves and it was worth the wait. Here's my review on Doom 3.

Plot: You are a marine sent to the UAC base on Mars for a new job as a security guard. During your trip to Mars, you hear rumors about voices tormenting the personnel, not to mention a series of mysterious accidents and mental illness plaguing the base. Meanwhile Counselor Swann and his bodyguard, Jack Campbell, confront Dr. Betruger, director of the UAC Mars base, about these problems. Soon enough, you're drawn into the conflict. What's even worse, demons from the depths of Hell appear and begin killing every marine, civilian, and scientist all over the base except for one, you. You are the only person standing in the way of the demons' plans for universal domination. 5/5

Graphics: The graphics in the Doom series never looked better. The dark and near-photorealistic graphics really sets the tone of paranoia anywhere you go in the game. The demons truly look their scariest than they were in the previous Doom titles. Doom 3 is a graphic masterpiece. 5/5

Sound: The sound is really atmospheric and will make you wanna look over your shoulder. You'll hear demon voices calling out to you and zombies moaning for your flesh. Chris Vrenna has done an awesome job on the music and sounds of Doom 3. 5/5

Gameplay: No words can describe the gameplay for Doom 3 but one, brilliant. Nuff said. 5/5

John Carmack truly is an innovator in his own right. He and his id Software staff had to risk their own jobs to bring Doom back with new technology and succeeded. Doom 3 is an instant classic just dying to be played.

Final Review: 5/5
