Customer Reviews:
 A Beautiful Nightmare, 2008-09-23
PLAYED ON: Mac Pro with 8800 GT. Runs beautifully on high settings. No technical problems whatsoever.
GAMEPLAY: Straight-up, no-frills shooter. This is basically a corridor crawl from start to finish, with minimal distanced combat. Puzzles are simple enough that getting stuck is unlikely. Rather light on difficulty overall, as the AI is relentless but not very adaptive. Nightmare mode is frustrating due to the fact that health is sapped automatically, despite not being hit.
STORY: Classic Doom scenario, fleshed out with compelling backstory.
GRAPHICS: Continue to impress. Credit the art department with some beautiful details, both in the characters and some of the locales. As you approach the end of the game, the graphics really get a chance to shine.
ATMOSPHERE: Definitely creepy. Enemies sound appropriately hellish, as do the various ambient sounds. The voice acting is a very important element here, and it meets the challenge as well. Of course, the game is also extremely dark, and the player must constantly be on guard against things jumping out from hiding places in full attack mode. Like any good game, the developers have included the little touches necessary to establish an appropriate mood (in this case desperation, dread, and fear).
VALUE: DOOM 3 is a long game by shooter standards. You will get your money's worth. Unfortunately there is little immediate replay value once you've made it through the whole story.
Come on, DOOM 4!!
BOTTOM LINE: DOOM 3 is a lovingly crafted, highly entertaining experience. If you are a shooter fan, particularly a Mac shooter fan, you owe it to yourself to get this game.
