Review: Doom 3 BFG Edition

Howdy folks!

Anywhere you go, anyone you talk to whether it be gamer or not, it's safe to say that they have at least heard of Doom, renown for its gore, bloody, violent and horrific gameplay. Doom definitely paved the way for First Person Shooters of today and even modelled as many horror/survival games of today. Bethesda has recaptured that magic and placed all three games into the one we see today, Doom 3 BFG Edition. While the title only states one of the games in the series, one of the little gems about this game is that you pay the price of one game, but really get three.
With this knowledge, I dived right back into Mars, Hell and Doom, and almost simultaniously, fell back in to the nervous, scared child I was when my brother introduced me to the game. Although I did get much further than I did in my youth, it was nice to reflect, if only briefly, on a classic. Bring on Doom 2! Hit again with nostalgia, I pushed my wave through Hell's spawn and human alike, diving right back into the fight. Nothing new is offered in either of the older titles other than achievements and an updated Options menu. Doom 3 is where most of the changes are.

Updated graphics, musical score, cleaner audio and sound effects are just some of the new features in the newest version of the game. Despite this, the game still retains its massively challenging gameplay and riddle solving. However, the game still retains the few bugs here are there. The random spawning of enemies finds them spawning within walls, enemies (On occasion) not dying or moving at all and so on. While these cause slight upset, these are overlookable.

While the game itself only offers a better version of Doom 3, the game is still a great buy. Returning to the classics of any game series is always a great play and a good time to play with friends. Doom will always live on as the kickstart to the gaming community we all know today.
Out of 10, I give Doom 3 BFG Edition an 7.5/10

Good Points
+ $70 for three games? SCORE
+ Getting frightened all over again is awesome
+ Graphics and sound effect will blow you away

Bad Points
- Doom 1 & 2 won't play with installed disc...
- Odd glitches here and there
- Doom 1 & 2 offer nothing relitively new

The game is out now for $70, depending on location.
