More enjoyable than Doom 3..., 2006-02-09
Straight away, you are back into Doom 3's claustrophobic, yet stifling `walk in this direction' gameplay. However, this game, albeit a really short game, seems to be more enjoyable than the sobering Doom 3. Firstly, the monsters are better placed - and, seem rather timid at the thought of running aimlessly in front of your weaponry (for example, the zombie soldiers hide more, especially behind crates, etc).
But the very, very best thing about Resurrection of Evil is the double-barrelled shotgun. The weapons in Doom 3 - even the powerful ones such as the chain-gun - always felt weak and ineffective. They lacked a certain kick. In fact, if it weren't for the crosswire turning red, you would hardly believe you were hitting anything most of the time. The double barrel shotgun is a long time coming. If it was in the first game, Doom 3 would have fewer detractors. However, ID left it for the Resurrection of Evil - maybe as a selling point to boost sales.
The graphics are the same (i.e. amazingly detailed), if not slightly better, than Doom 3. Surprisingly, Resurrection of Evil, runs a lot smoother on my PC than Doom3 did, so maybe this game is more old PC friendly than the notoriously hogging Doom 3.
Those who felt Doom 3 was a disappointment may not find enough in this game to re-evaluate your opinion. However, if you loved Doom 3, and want a bit extra, then Resurrection of Evil is a good buy.

 More Blastin', 2006-01-31
More goodies to see, more bad guys to blast.
Just can't get enough of the best 3D shooter so far...
You get so absorbed in this game that you have to give yourself a break every now and then. So much information to pay attention to like the surround sounds, who's in the shadows, what was that zooming by. :)

Really good game., 2006-01-24
This grabber is so useful, you can grab boxes and shoot them into enemies. Double Barrel Shotgun is cool too.

Consider an addition rather than new, 2005-12-21
This game, if viewed as an add-on rather than a title on its own, is very good.
The graphics are equal to Doom 3 and the music and sounds are pretty much the same.
The game takes place a few years after the accident. You take control of a marine who's the only survivor in another accident that kills all your teammates and opens a portal to Hell again. You begin making your way to Dr. McNeil to find a way to close the portal, fighting demons along the way.
Something that sets apart Doom 3 and RoE is the Artifact. You no longer have the Soul Cube from D3; in its place is the Artifact that can be powered up after killing bosses. After the first boss, you gain the ability to slow down time. This becomes helpful in some of the tighter situations with monsters, along with aiding you in some of the game's puzzles. You collect "ammo" for the Artifact by sucking the souls out of corpses, conveniently situated around the levels.
There is also the Super Shotgun, which delivers twice the damage of the Shotgun but takes longer to reload.
The Grabber makes an appearance, which is basically a weapon that can "grab" projecticles out of the air and redirect them towards the enemy.
The storyline is a little bland because it's hard to believe this whole catastrophe can happen *again*. Yet since this is an expansion pack, one can't expect much of a storyline.
Some of the bads: The game is much shorter than D3. It will take you about half as long as it took you to beat D3. Other than this, I can't think of much.
The game is great. There are plenty of moments that truly make this a great buy. If you think of this as more of an add-on to Doom 3 (as it was intended), it will be an enjoyable experience.
