DOOM 3: First impressions

I finally sat down with DOOM 3 last night for an hour or so ... Big mistake. This game needs to be played in broad daylight with a lot of people around. It's dark, scary, moody, and unbelievably realistic. It's also gruesome, so keep the kids away. Though we've come to expect a certain level of quality from id Software regarding the 3D technology and gameplay--which DOOM 3 delivers and then some--the most impressive thing about this game is its immersive plot and interactive storyline. Folks, this is the real deal. And while the high violence quotient will surely keep a lot of people away, DOOM 3 needs to be hailed for the advance that it is. The bar has just been raised.

Oh, and it's already scared the living crap out of me several times. Good stuff.
