Good, but not the ideal version.
Good package overall. I played Doom 3 BFG twice loved it, then played the original Doom 3. I much prefer the original, however playing BFG first, I enjoyed it. Changes to the light/torch are part of it but not the whole story. The gameplay is subtly changed. Basically, this is good, but the original is better.

decent effort; worse than the original
In an effort to modernize the original Doom duology, the makers of Doom 3 unfortunately lost a lot of what made the original so interesting and unique, and turned it into something far more generic. For and foremost of these is the level design. Where the original duology had a wide variety of different locations including some large outdoor areas, Doom 3 is 90% generic sci-fi corridors arranged in a linear sequence. When an outdoor area does show up, it gets this silly time limit that ruins the sense of exploration. There's also the annoying tendency of bosses to rely on some sort of invincibility gimmick. Doom 3 isn't worse than the original in all respects - I like the ability to look up and down and the ability to jump, and the spider monsters are a good addition to the series - but it still feels like it takes two steps back for every step forward.

A great buy!!!
I really enjoy playing this game again. This version of the game is my favorite beacuse It includes two DLC's and the two classic games in one package. It´s a different dynamic from the two original games, which makes it a hole new experience. I only wish I could get the multiplayer working again.

Welcome to Mars Marine
When I was getting into gaming in the early 2010s Doom 3 had a fine reputation. Specially in the horror community. On any fanmade best horror games list of video, it would be there there, not the top five, but always there, and we knew why. Doom 3 has atmosphere. Atmosphere so thick it feels like you're wading through it. Every texture, sound, and environment has been optimised to make you feel like you're in an industrial nightmare. A place that feels angry and hateful, and that's just before the demons show up! A lot of the scares in this game really do hold up. The cycle of scares sprinkled between combat and exploration keeps the game exiting and your fingers twitching at any sound. The gore is lovely and and the game's lighting is legendary. Set pieces are well designed and the music is just perfect. Doom 3 is a horror game first and foremost. Just one where you have a small army's worth and weapons and ammo to fight the horrors back with! You don't feel safe though. You feel like humanity is doomed and you're just fighting the inevitable. If you're reading this, you know how the new Doom games have soured a lot of people on this one. A lot of people complaining Doom 3 ruined Doom got into gaming even later than I did. But if you go back to the first three episodes of Doom 1, play with the lighting and draw distance down, and a pre WASD control setup you'll see the similarities to Doom 3. The first Doom was always meant to be a horror game. Time has simply turned it into something else. I think Doom is valid as either an action or a horror series. Not to say Doom 3 doesn't have real problems. It runs out of steam around the 2/3 mark. The attempts at storytelling often fall flat. And yes, the pistol and shotgun are very disappointing. The TL;DR 5/5 as a horror game. 4/5 as an action game As a Doom game? Go in with an open mind knowing Doom has roots in horror and action, always has.

Excellent value for the price.
Doom 3 is a great survival horror game, but its really only Doom in name only. You get a lot for your money though!
