Doom 3 Hands-On

IGN: "The developer has ... successfully engineered a moody, eerie, futuristic world where advanced technology and demons meet, where the dead come back to life, and where the shadows are every bit as terrifying as the monsters illuminated in the beam of your flashlight ... Doom 3 features top-end presentation through and through, be it the detailed in-game graphics complete with unparalleled light and shadow or the well-delivered, dramatic voice acting that brings the characters to life. You will believe ... In many ways we have been Doom 3 skeptics. There's no doubt that technically speaking it is leaps and bounds above any competitor. It is perhaps the most gorgeous game coming to market, period. That being true, we weren't always convinced that it was going to bring anything new play-wise to the table. And you know what? We're still not. But having played through a level, there's no denying that Doom 3 is one of the most atmospheric, captivating first-person shooters we've played anyway. It's scary, it's extremely intense and it's fun. And we've only scratched the surface."
