DOOM 3 in the U.K.
[Aug 13, 2004, 11:55 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments

Long-awaited Doom 3 hits the UK is a BBC article announcing the availability of id's latest in the U.K. (thanks Mike Martinez). The article discusses the game, as well as the heightened level of sensitivity to violent games across the pond at the moment based on the recent murder that some are attempting to connect with Manhunt (story). In related news, MCV reports the possibility of shortages of the new release, quoting U.K. retailers complaining that they don't have sufficient stock to meet demand, while quoting Activision defending themselves by pointing out that retailers all over Europe are being screwed by high demand, and that U.K. retailers are not being singled out.

I am hating every moment of it.

I'm not saying it's a bad game, but who can honestly tell me that it's a *good* game?

Is the gameplay any good? No it blows. Linear, straightforward with boring weapons and a boring story. The three different monsters are nothing to write home about either. The spawn-a-monster-behind-you-in-the-dark gets really old, really fast.

Haven't read a single review yet, but I bet it's being overrated, being Doom3 and all.

For the record - yes, the graphics are nice (the few times you actually get to see it when the lights come on).

Anyway, my 2cents.

Disappointed
