In DOOM 3, this scripted event would have only included the scary part where a hand shot through the pipes. I especially enjoyed one sequence where an alien clawed at me through some pipes and then created a huge hole through which you and others could later travel. As with DOOM 3, many aliens interact with the environment in fun and scary ways, but when they do so they often permanently alter the game level. All of these additions break up the traditional first person experience you've come to expect, enhancing game play. There are also chances to man various vehicles and large mounted guns throughout the game. For example, your maximum health rises from 100 to 125, and you can now access the plentiful Strogg health machines located around the game. From that point on, your available armaments and capabilities change a bit, but less so than I would have liked or expected. However, you are rescued and returned to duty in the human armed forces. Mid-way through the Quake 4 single player experience, your character is captured by the Strogg and mutated into a biomechanical Strogg killing machine. And while you play a similar space marine character, in Quake 4 you're usually doing so with other computer-controlled teammates, which reduces the isolation one felt in DOOM 3 (but is arguably less effective, since computer controlled players are often heavily scripted and perform better against the enemy than they should). Graphically, Quake 4 strongly resembles DOOM 3, but often features much brighter colors and more outdoor environments. Thematically, Quake 4's single player mode is a direct sequel to id's Quake 2 (which is included on a bonus disk, see below) and continues a plotline where earth is pitted against the alien Strogg. Visually similar to DOOM 3, Quake 4 even features a somewhat similar single player experience, which takes place on a far-off planet infested with aliens at war with the human race. Quake 4, developed by long-time id partner Raven, is that game. My only question about DOOM 3 was whether a future game title would take that technology and wrap a better game around it.

But it was certainly a technological achievement, especially the Xbox version ( see my review), which packed as much action from the PC title as possible onto a single disk. DOOM 3 wasn't perfect-its multiplayer version was a molasses-slow step back from previous id titles, and many complained about the dark and dreary environments that were provided for the single player versions.

Last year in Connected Home, I waxed enthusiastic about id Software'sĭOOM 3 for the PC, a first person shooter that took one of the company's classic horror action titles and updated with state of the art graphics and sound.
