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.

to me, the "pitch black" factor is what makes Doom3 stand out from other horror games, i think anyone will admit that sight is man's most crucial sense, taking it away at the same time as being confronted by horrible, grotesque demons really gets the adrenaline flowing. couple this with the amazing atmosphere of the mars station, and the spooky voice/text logs you find strewn around on the PDA's that belong to the dead, and you've got a really exciting ride.

my brother got the game when it first came out, and immediately got the flashlight mod, myself i chose to play through the game with the original darkness intact, sure he may have finished it quicker and easier, but i guarantee he didn't get the experience out of it that i did.

there's just something great about putting the flashlight down, hoping the monster didn't move much, and going with the old spray n' pray.





a bit more on-topic, never got to try the xbox port as i dont even own an xbox, i'd imagine its twice as tough trying to do everything with a controler though

KB/mouse > controler for FPS
