Doom 3 BFG Edition is not only an HD remake, but also a nice collection of all Doom games. The addition to Doom 3 and Doom 3: Resurrection of evil has improved graphics (improved textures, with larger suzzes) giving the aging game a somewhat modern look.

Besides, it includes the introduction of a brand-new chapter "The lost mission", and also has some gameplay improvements.

Doom 3 BFG edition arrives 4 years after the launch of Doom 3. At its launch date, the graphics were astounding and only high-end machines with even higher-end graphics cards were able to run it decently. But time has passed, and Doom 3 has aged too, compared to modern titles like Asassin's Creed 3 and Mass Effect 3. To counter this, Bethesda Softworks (developers of the game) introduced high-resolution textures, improved dynamic shadows and DTS 5.1 sound.

Buyers of this version will also get the new chapter "The lost mission" featuring new enemies, and 4 new levels full of action, some of which resemble the fights against the monsters in Doom I and Doom II.

Among the gameplay improvements, the most noteworthy is the inclusion of a shoulder-mounted flashlight, which will allow you to illuminate and shoot at the same time, eliminating the need to switch from the flashlight to a weapon first. This previous aspect was intended to get the player deeper into the dark atmosphere of the game, but was ultimately heavy criticized.

This is a collection edition, which means that, alongside with the Doom 3 game, and its improved expansion "Resurrection of evil", you will also get Doom I and Doom II, in their original versions.

If you played all 3 Doom games before, maybe you will not find the new features worth the price of a new game. But if you are new to the Doom series, or missed any of the games, this is your perfect chance to step into the Doom world, and discover the dark and scary atmosphere that made this series a turn in the fps genre.

Pros

  • All 3 Doom games in one, plus "The lost mission" make it a great value pack
  • The changes to Doom 3 like the gameplay improvements and the new graphics give a modern look to catch up with current games of late 2012

Cons
