The last half of Far Cry was about blowing up mutants.
It's not the fact that Doom 3 is a mutant game... it's repetitive and boring. Graphics don't make the game...
Like I said before: it's dark, repetitive and has crappy weapons. No damage modeling or destructable objects.
It's just a dark corridor runner game where all the monsters are located in dark corners and crevices or pop out of "wall lockers" or just teleport right out in front of you or behind you.
The flashlight in the game isn't even realistic as the only thing it lights up is a 3ft diameter circle in front of you yet it does not faintly illuminate the surroundings. To actually beat this game you need to be flailing that flashligth around and then when you see something, shoot blindly into the darkness.
It's also irritating to navigate a maze of vents that are literally pitch black with a flashlight.
Frankly, it's **** and in my opinion Doom III is just a big techdemo and FC looked just as good of high settings and offered a more enjoyable experience.
I'm looking forward to Stalker which looks like a very promising game.

I dunno what you were expecting, its an alien world type game that means it doesnt have to have real life weapons and inventory (the flash light) I dont see ppl knocking avp on here like god dont u have something better to do than complain about a game you have no interest in but played it anyway? If you dont like alien games simple as that dont bother with it lol

lol chill out. the dude asked what we think about the game, so we tell him what we think.
from the looks of it if everyone who said the game sucks didnt reply to this post then this topic wouldnt have any replies at all.

even when u expect it to be alien game it's still not too good. very repetative and it's same thing over and over again. just dark halways and mutants. All u literally do is walk and kill, and most of the time it's dark as hell so u can either shoot blind or u can risk to switch to the flash light and by the time u switch back a gun some monster bites your head off.
If u ask about graphics and sound thats another thing, graphics are very good, althought kinda heavy for an avg pc to handle it. Sound is amazing.
