The single most unbearable flaw of this remake is the painful loading times. The battery life is highly questionable and how it recharges is a great scientific mystery. The introduction of a weapon-mounted flashlight is both welcome and confusing. Crouching, moving and shooting at the same time is also slightly problematic, with natural motion leading the perspective downwards. This often lends to unnecessary player deaths. One obvious downfall is the requirement to cycle through all weapons to find the desired arms. The controls for Doom 3 are the standard first-person shooter setup and can't really be faulted. Adding 3D visuals to Doom 3 works well and looks great, but some on-screen fonts remain on the smaller side, and struggle to be readable before disappearing. All characters who appear without some type of head gear or helmet possesses a cranium resembling Kryten from Red Dwarf. The lines are not as clean as one would hope for. There are elements of this HD remake that are slightly disappointing. They do seem slightly repetitive, sometimes, causing some disorientation. Set on Mars, the environments depicted in Doom 3 are intimidating and claustrophobic, with dark narrow halls and limited space, which can make taking on the enemies difficult. The main focus of the package, however, is Doom 3, a game that arrived with great fanfare on PCs in 2004. Dooms one and two are still as fun and challenging as the day they were first released, and their minor extras are warmly welcome. Even the simplest of actions, uncovering a hidden room for example, will bring at least a minor achievement or trophy. Players should not expect anything new other than achievements, although there are quite a few of them for the trophy hungry. Between all three games there is well over twenty hours of gameplay available.Īs Doom is a pioneer of the first-person shooter, there shouldn't be a gamer alive who would not grin ever so slightly while playing Doom or Doom 2. Consumers will rejoice at acquiring 3 games for the price of one, as well as having expansions and new levels included. In this instance, let's say the initials BFG stand for 'Bargain For Gamers'.
As a collective, this is known as Doom 3 BFG Edition. To do this, they have 'touched up' Doom 3 and included Doom and Doom 2 for nostalgia's sake.
Other times it works well, breathing new life to a franchise or title for a new generation of gamers.īethesda and id Software have brought back one of gaming's most popular franchises, Doom. In both cases sometimes things should just be left alone, a case of 'if it's not broke, don't fix it'.
Hollywood is high on big name remakes and the games industry loves a good High Definition re-release. DOOM 3: Shoulder your BFG and head on down to face the minions of Hell and Nostalgia.
