DOOM 3 BFG EDITION Review - Its seems to be all the rage nowadays to port old games to new systems, give them a poor transfer and barely upscale them for HD. However for Doom 3 BFG this is not the case, this is not just a port of Doom 3. In many ways this is the best version of Doom 3 on the market. When Doom 3 first hit the market way back when in 2004, it was met with mixed criticism. However I found Doom 3 to be an excellent shooter with great visuals and fantastic atmosphere. The gameplay is largely unchanged, however there has been two tweaks to the gameplay. One now finally you can use the flashlight and your weapon at the same time. While most complained about this when Doom 3 was first released, I for one liked being limited to one or the other. 

It gave tension and kept you on edge. And no there is no option to let you use the flashlight like before. Most people will like being able to use both, for me though i preferred using them separately. The other change is ammo is far less scarce than before. Now ammo is plentiful and easy to find. These two changes which seem small on paper, change things more than one would think. Now the game focuses on the action and less on the horror elements. Combat is fun and satisfying with fantastic weapons, the enemy A.I is also very smart and keeps you on your toes. In fact the A.I is better than you will see in most current games. However the horror elements and great atmosphere are still there, in addition to those changes, the entire game was given a facelift and textures were greatly improved. The game admittedly does look out of date, but is still rather impressive. 

Doom 3 is still a great shooter with fantastic enemies, great level design, and superb boss fights. Doom 3 plays far differently from the shooters released today, if you're sick of iron sights and liner set pieces Doom 3 has you covered. Not only are you getting Doom 3 but your getting Resurrection of Evil the first expansion pack, and the lost missions, an entire new set of levels. Along with Doom 1 And 2. This is the most complete set you will find for the Doom series. And for 40 dollars you get tons of content. If you never played Doom 3 now is the perfect time to catch up on the entire series. Few games have the atmosphere and fantastic combat Doom 3 has. If you like First Person Shooters don't miss one of the most important ones gaming has to offer.
