I have tried it. It's graphics only.

The first hour I really liked graphics and thought this game is gonna rock once real action starts. Alas, I was wrong. It's really boring, now I play it for fifteen minutes and then I quit, do something else. And MAYBE play some more after several hours.

It had the elements in place to make it really epic game, but it failed. Levels do become repetitive and boring.

I didn't try it, but what I hear is just about what Mr. Fury said - that the engine is superb, but the game is boring as hell. And that the multiplayer sucks big time.
Probably away. Contact through email.

 
Great for mods, shoddy untill some good ones come out?

I'm waiting for the demo....

 
It's an awesome game, although the scare factor wore off very early for me. Like one of my mates said, it's evolutionary, not revolutionary - IMO, in the same way that Half Life was to Quake. You need a modern system to do it any justice though.

Mine is on order and won't hit English shores for at least a week - I'll pass judgement on it then.

I'de give anything to be able to play Doom 3, unfortunately, my system can't handle it and I'm a few undred bucks short.

My hope right now is that I'll find a suitcase full of money on the street. Hopefully, it won't be handcuffed to a dead man's wrist, but I'm willing to compromise.

 
I...love...this...game...

Its so freakin scary! The imps are the creepiest damn things I have ever seen!

Doom maps were always better with fewer players though.

I had to vote I won't play it in this lifetime. I'd need to upgrade my ram, CPU and HDD first, and by the time that happens, Doom3'll be old news.

My friend just yesterday told me one of Doom 3 reviews gave it 9/10, after reviewer finished the game, he updated the score to 6/10. :D

I seriously need to ask the url for that particular review. :p

You mean the Half-Life story is very Doom.

Only game i've really played of this genre is Quake II.  I did play the origonal doom, but that was about 8 years ago.
Cant say i'll be buying doom 3, lost intrest in computer games - though I am looking forward to Locomotion, the long awaited sequel to Transport Tycoon.
