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.

Unless you are immediately scared by Doom 3, you just bypassed 90% of the game. Doom 3 is all about shock tacticts and little to no psychological/atmospheric scare. On both accounts, it is a far cry from the System Shock games or even Undying.

The game looks great, though you may not notice it to the small size, the Doom 3 darkness engine, and some weird shortcuts id has taken.

Thinking I would rather play the Doom UC again than Doom 3,
