This is a First Person Shooter and they do it well, as they should being pretty much the creators of the genre. Each PDA has email that you read from members of the facility and even some voice logs explaining things or simply just designed to creep you out. I enjoy collectibles like this because it isn’t just about getting an achievement, it’s finding out more about what happened. However, there is a rich backstory on the PDA’s you find. You run into a few people where the plot is addressed a little bit at a time, but not as much as you would think. The story is pretty simple…on the outside. DOOM and DOOM 3 are also in the bundle if you want to go even further on the old school bus. If you enjoyed the main game then you should have no problems with these. The game also treats us with the expansion Resurrection of Evil, where the story continues on for a little bit more, and a few new levels in The Lost Mission that was cut out from the original DOOM 3 game where you play the last surviving member of Bravo Team. It’s up to you to stop this madness before this particular brace of space hell tries to go to Earth. An evil presence engulfs the facility, raising monsters and turning people into zombies. Once you find him he is in a state of panic trying to contact Earth in order to warn them of an impending danger. After a very short introduction you are instructed to go down into the delta labs in search of a scientist who has gone missing. It is the year 2145 and you play a marine who has been assigned to do a deployment at the Union Aerospace Corporation’s science facility on Mars. But the question I have for you, DOOM 3, is: will you have the same impact as before?ĭOOM 3 isn’t really the third part of a story but is actually a remake of the first DOOM. Now, almost a decade later you come back to my life with open arms and a couple of new things as well. You scared me DOOM 3, you scared me real good, but I liked it. How I remember long nights with you with the shutters closed, the lights off and the surround sound head phones. Minor enhancements at most, one of which ruins the experience. First RAGE being 'meh,' now a fairly lazy port of a game that really didn't warrant an HD re-release (it's not even 10 years old yet). But if you've NEVER played these legendary games, maybe it's worth checking out.īut ID, you've been slacking off this gen. If you own Doom 1 and 2 on XBLA, maybe buy this after a price drop. In closing, BFG isn't bad if you're new to the series (or even just Doom 3), but I can say that if you already own Doom 3, whether it be on Steam, Original Xbox, or other, don't buy this. MATH!), since as mentioned above, they are direct ports. Doom 1 and 2's lists are NO DIFFERENT from the XBLA versions (200 and 200, respectively. But those complaints have run their course. Which is a shame, because the extra levels added to Doom II on XBLA weren't half-bad.Īlso, 600/600 achievement points. The big draw of BFG is the new "Lost Mission" campaign. Again, it's unchanged for better or worse (minus the things said above). The expansion, Resurrection of Evil, released around the same time as the Xbox port of Doom 3, is also included, and I really don't have anything to talk about there (the ending still sucks). Doom 3 was build to be more of a single-player experience when it was released, and that seems to hold true in this package as well. An incredibly basic multiplayer component is also included, with a few maps and even fewer modes. The co-op mode from the original Xbox release is also absent, much to fans disappointment, but it wasn't included with vanilla Doom 3 either, so I won't complain. There was originally going to be a way to use the original flashlight instead of the armor-mounted one, but I don't see that in the game. It recharges almost instantly, and it's too bright. Other Doom games, like Final Doom or Doom II Master Levels are not present in this version. They are just launched from within BFG itself. Doom 1 and 2 ARE included as well in the package, but they are identical to their XBLA counterparts. I'm mostly going to be talking about Doom 3 here. It's got new textures, new levels, and calls itself the "definitive collection" (actual box quote) of this legendary series. Now, it's been ported AGAIN as Doom 3: BFG Edition. It was ported to the Xbox within a year, and, despite it not looking as nice as the PC counterpart, was a marvel for its time and a true benchmark for PC to console ports. But it was also criticized for having gameplay that couldn't make up its mind if it wanted to be "survival horror" or "classic Doom," and it was just. The game was praised for its atmosphere, graphics (lighting in particular) and return of many of the Doom standards, like weapons and enemies. Doom 3, originally released back in 2004, had a mixed reception from fans and critics alike.
