My FULL Doom III review

SoLiDUS · **My FULL Doom III review -** 08-02-2004, 07:06 PM

I've played quite a bit now and I have the following things to say:

Graphics

Amazing. Nothing short of breath-taking...
When shit hits the fan, you'll be freaked OUT.

Sound

Excellent positional audio and use of ambient effects to heighten
claustrophobia and tension. You won't want to be alone playing...

Gameplay

Nothing extraordinary but executes everything very well. The PC
interfaces work nicely and even though the gunning is repetitious,
it never gets boring AT ALL.

Overall

Highly recommended game. You will NOT be disappointed.

If you fellas have any questions, feel free to ask them and I will answer
to the best of my ability.

What system are u running it on, what settings do you have it on, and does it lag or slow down at all? How scary is it?

I'm playing on headphones and the positional sound seems to be fucked up. I don't know what the problem is. oOo:

Edit: I fixed it by changing the "Reverse channels" setting.

I've only played it for a short while - using headphones up reasonably loud and the light in the rooms off - and I've leaped in the air like a scared little girl on a couple of occasions. happy:

Quite true. No matter how "cool" and "brave" you are, the game WILL own
you.

I'm playing on 1024x768 - HIGH detail with little to no slowdown. Overall
very smooth. My hardware:

A64 3000+
KV8 MAX 3
1GB Corsair
Radeon 9800 Pro (128MB)
Audigy2 ZS (has no impact on sound though because it's all done by engine)

Pump up the settings judas, I thought my system would have started to choke at 1024x768 on "high", but it plays it fine.

ps: stfu happy:

Maybe I've been playing this kind of stuff before but no real scares yet. . .I'm more suprised than scared when the zombies pop out of the shadows, which I think is a nice touch. The game is VERY claustorphobic and running around I felt like I was honestly getting lost.

The shotgun is sweet - nothing better than disentigrating your former buddies.

Best moment of the game so far:

Right now I'm running at medium settings and 1024xwhatever. Not bad a little slow but only noticeable to geeks.

You know what I like to do ? Knock people with my flashlight: you can take
care of them (they'll disintegrate) without wasting ammunition.

As for best moment so far... I agree. Shit hitting the fan
