Good fps game
Gameplay: The gameplay is mostly fun for a fps game, although it's still sometimes cheap when it spawns enemies behind you or the instant reaction ranged zombie soldiers. I recommend playing this game. I found the 3 hour long Lost Mission Expansion to be more enjoyable than the original Resurrection of Evil expansion. BFG vs Original: As a person who liked the original Doom 3 I still would recommend playing the BFG edition because it is a better overall experience. I played the original Doom 3 many years ago and I liked it at the time. Now I've played the Resurrection of Evil expansion using the source port dhewm3. First problem: It takes time to set it all up. Furthermore I found the gameplay to be mediocre because of several factors like few ammo, no visibility, awful crosshair, unreliable shotgun. After playing the original I've played the Lost Mission expansion of the BFG Edition and I have to say that the developers addressed almost all the issue of the original game. The shotgun is still unreliable, but you have more ammo for the good weapons, you can activate the flashlight while holding a gun which helps with visibility. The graphics have also improved: you can set a bigger fov, you don't have to use a source port to play the game in widescreen resolution, the crosshair is more visible, the framerate can go beyond 60 fps.

A misunderstood masterpiece
Yes Doom 3 is very very far from the other Doom titles, but does that make it not a Doom game? That's the question I had coming into Doom 3 its expansion (Resurrection of Evil), but I came out of those with a deeper appreciation for the game's darker tone (and environments) and horror-shooter focus. Gameplay: Doom 3 starts out slow, you are fairly weak compared to the other Doom games, the shotgun for all intensive purposes is like poking a demon with a stick, it deals very little damage till you get up close and personal; however, Doom 3's arsenal really shines once you get the plasma gun and master using the machine gun, the plasma gun deals a lot of damage at the expense of slow projectiles, the machine gun deals average damage quickly and makes cleaning up weaker demons a breeze. In addition to a solid mid/late game arsenal, Doom 3 introduces the Soul Cube, a weapon that insta-kills enemies once you charge it and also heals you in the process, making encounters far more dependent on mopping up weaker demons before bringing down tougher ones in the small arenas. Flaws? Doom 3 relies a lot on monster-closets and the horror element gets old fast, sure it's a little scary at first encountering imps behind doors but after your 3rd time it gets slightly annoying. The flashlight! I personally love it but some hate it, to see in the darker areas you need to rely either on the muzzle flash of your guns or unequip your guns in favor of a flashlight, making the decision-tree for any encounter slightly more nuanced. Running the game is also tedious, as others have mentioned you'll find the cd-key a pain in the butt to acquire, fortunately that's on the web version of GOG in the game's extras. Sum up: Doom 3 takes Doom in a new direction, it trades the fast paced shooting for slow combat in dark areas with a reliance on story; however, it makes up for its flaws easily if you don't compare to other Doom titles. (FYI Mac gamers, Dhewm3 is the source port you'll want)

Fast with Gas
Severely underrated and misunderstood. Doom 3 BFG is an atmospheric action game where the meta is in GOING fast, not slow. The beefy feeling shotgun, maybe the best FEELING shotgun in FPS, is a rushdown melee weapon. Where sprinting from enemy spawn to enemy spawn firing at their crotch, point blank, as fast as you can, IS the way to play. Still tons o fun. BFG Edition also has my current favorite version of Doom (1993).
