Levels in Doom 3 have been designed pretty well, they are darkly lit and extremely atmospheric although missions in the game are nothing we haven’t seen before, it’s all pretty much what was introduced in Doom. Its a little different to the approach of the original games but it’s bound to have you jumping out of your chair on more then one occasion.
Also in Doom 3 enemies have a tendency to jump out at you from behind corners and inside cupboards and the occasional corpse will get to it’s feet and try to take a bite out of you. The flow of the action is often interrupted by you needing to sift through the various different information contained within PDAs scattered around the games levels. If you were expecting Doom 3 to be packed with action from start to finish, then you’ll be disappointed to learn that it’s not. Of course this doesn’t last and as soon as hell breaks loose and everyone else has become a zombie they’d rather just rip your limbs off rather then stand around discussing life on Mars. You are able to access various information terminals, listen to conversations going on around you and chat with workers, scientists and other marines that have been assigned to Mars. PDAs can also contain other useful information such as pass codes to storage cupboards that be filled with all kinds of goodies such as weapons, ammo, health packs, armour and so on.įor the first twenty minutes or so of Doom 3 you are given the opportunity to explore the base you have just been assigned to. PDAs also store your security clearance level so picking one up that use to belong to someone who has either been killed or turned into a zombie can result in you having clearance to areas in which you wouldn’t normally be allowed. Each member of staff on the UAC Mars base was issued with a PDA where they can store information, access e-mail and create voice and video logs and it’s through these logs that the game describes the strange happenings that help move the story forward. The rest of the story behind Doom 3 is told through the odd cut scene and the games PDA system. It’s now up to you alone to figure out what exactly has happened and to stop the pure evil forces of hell reaching earth.
Yes those good scientists from the UAC have unlocked the gates to Hell itself. When you are sent on your first assignment to track down a missing scientist who has fled to an old communications building all hell breaks lose, literally.
#DOOM 3 HEALTH PACKS SERIES#
The facility has been rocked by a series of accidents, disappearances and generally strange things going on. You have just been sent on assignment to the Union Aerospace Corporation's Mars research facility. The game sees you take up the role of an unnamed Marine in the 22nd century. Now finally we have Doom 3, arguably the most anticipated game of the year so far and probably one of the games we’ve waited the longest for and of course the question on everyone’s lips is, was it actually worth it?ĭoom 3 is more of a remake of the original then a sequel to the series. Since its release in 1993 we’ve seen Doom II then we had Final Doom after which many believed id were trying to hold on to something that had gone past its sell by date. It has been eleven years since the release of the original Doom, the game that started the first person shooter.
