Doom III XBox,Co-Op online, ***great game*** Options

[Riel]

I played the PC version and loved it,never finished the game because it gets really hard later on and i just used God mode.

Co-op sounded like fun as well.I have to say that Vicarious Vision made an outstanding job on this...it looks amazing and runs at a steady 30fps,it looks better then Riddick on the XBox,you can save anywhere,there's even a quicksave button,the controller works really well...there's a little more loading then in the PC version,but it's not that bad and the loading screen is about 10 seconds.

I got to play some Co-op and it's a great ride...it's most of the single player game but with someone along...they added a few darker area's where someone absolutly needs to use the flashlight so it's very tense in some area.The 4 player Deathmatches and the like are very fast though but it's still fun i thought.

I'll be online with this most of the rest of the week so if you feel like playing online,the co-op especially,send a message.This game is at least worth a rental just to experience this mode alone.

The overall lighting changes from PC to Xbox were minimal from what i saw. Though i only played a small part of the xbox ver myself. As for the complaints of it being too dark, i largely blame those people just being wusses and the ones who maxed brightness on "horror" games and ruin the gameplay. Hell invaded Mars, do you really expect it to be sunny, bright and cheerful? As i recall to, only one, maybe two parts were totaly pitch black, and one of them actualy had a neat ass light effect. With lit up canisters rulling through pitch black tunnles every few min. But generaly, if you were careful you could get demons in areas lit with some light, or where they were siloueted so you can see em. If not then, usualy their range attacks or your muzzle flashes light em up enough for you to correct aim.

Graphic wise, the port is pretty damn nice. My pc still looks better, but even still, quite a beautiful conversion and keeping all the qualities. In sound, and graphic ambience. Id buy the xbox ver just for co-op, i really wish that was included with pc. But its Doom as Doom is Doom. It certainly isnt for everyone, but i personaly highly enjoyed the game. All like 5 times ive played through.

Semi off-topic, the expansion for PC was quite fun, about 2/3 length of original D3. It was overall a bit more "bright" than original as well. As a result i wasnt as spooked playing it. But still fun, and ofcourse double barrel shotgun is back and in full fun power.
