Doom 3 back in 2004 was a revelation technically. Great visuals, sound, scary as hell & just bloody damn good. This BFG edition is purely for console owners. Barely any visual settings to adjust. I think it's resolution, AA & v-sync. The 2004 version had texture settings, bump maps, specular lighting or whatever it's called plus a few other settings to play with. So what the hell?

I have the original 2004 release & comparing them I'd say that lighting & character models look better in the BFG edition but it all looks so...shiny. I hear that chunks of the original have been removed. Because Doom 3 is so generically designed anyway I never really noticed. One thing I did notice was that the game seamed easier than before. Could be just me though.

It's obvious this reboot is just out for cash after Rage bombed so badly. I guess if you've never played D3 before you could be in for a treat but get the original. I still reckon it looks as good as this cash in. I'm a rare PC gamer as in I have a 360 so if that's all you have this could be a good option but the gameplay is so old & been there done that feel to it that it won't even be considered a good console shooter. Either way my advise is to avoid this BFG nonsense altogether. Buy cake instead.
