Old Review: Doom 3
Theres something about Doom3... over hyped, over advertised, over pressured... After so much abuse what did we expect?
Lets be honest we expected acid-trip-excatsy-multipleorgasm-no-hangover type fun.
If you own the game. Re-read the Review Deck. Tell everyone in your life to go get bent for a weekend, disconnect the phone and turn off the cell-i-o, because you need 8-12 hours of free time to take care of bid'ness (thats business ya squares).
Also... this really does sound crazy, either turn off the A/C or turn on the heat a little, get your playing area ncie and hot... like near uncomfortable hot. You do go to hell ya know.
(This Reviewer is not liable for any injuries related to personal opinions, unless kama sutra was involved and then you can hold it against me. Get it?)
Sit down, no lights, hook up your surround sound (dont tell me you dont have one, I bet you have a stero system somewhere in your house, hook that up to the computer) maybe have some water ready, turn off your expectations and what everyone else (except this reviewer) has said, and just play. Play Hard, Play Fast, Rocket Launcher Skely bothering you? Bam 3-4 shotgun blasts at point blank aughta do it.
Video Disk? Watch em. Audio Logs? Listen to em. Emails? Read em.
Or dont. But try to BE that marine. Try to give it your style. If your a head busting motherf'er be that. If your a sneaky Intelligence ninja, Do your thang.
Ok now that you think I've lost my mind I'll wrap up with the a point.
Doom3 escalates the whole way through the game, in a way I haven't felt in another game before, reaching each new area I could feel the game getting more and more on my nerves, threatening to eat my brain and give me nightmares. (I cant be the only one who dreams of a game after playing for 12 hours straight right?) But you have to be there, ready and willing like a hot prom date to Give It Up and immerse yourself!
You owe it to yourself to play for at least 6 hours straight of doom3.
If you dont come out with sweaty hands, red face, high pulse....
Go back in and turn UP the difficulty you uber gamer you!
Seriously, doom3 was completely over hyped, and as a result we all bought it and went "Oh wow this is awesome... awesome... bored." Kind like your first time, the glory was over fast... Well either give it another shot or just get better prepared for your first time.
Do it hard, do it hot, do it right. (the video game)
Peace Out.
