These up-scaled graphics suffer from a few issues though, as the human character models feature pretty angular heads and frequently suspect lip-synching. HD is essentially a euphemism for marginally up-scaled graphics. Unfortunately is the case with most HD remakes that the graphic improvement falls far short of what the console is capable of. The game’s environments create a very eerie and tense atmosphere, with little lighting and an abundance of shadows for the creepy hordes to come at you from. The game’s structure is no departure from even the most cutting edge current gen FPS, you go from one point to another, picking up PDAs to unlock doors and new guns if you’re lucky (or in an exploring mood) and you kill everything that wanders between the two points. As far as a story is concerned, it’s little more than what is absolutely necessary to make the game move forward, but that’s generally all an FPS needs. These sketchy things take the shape of various demonic baddies trying their very best to give you continue-screens as often as possible.

The game starts off on Mars, where you take control of a Marine that very quickly realises something sketchy is afoot.

Those who weren’t around for the hayday of the Doom franchise should sit up and pay attention, this series is one of the main reasons the FPS genre is where it is today. It’s going to take more than extra content and a face-lift to be worthy of consideration, but one of the old school greats deserves some attention. Remakes are the order of the day in the gaming industry at the moment, and the latest dose of nostalgia comes in the form of Doom 3: BFG Edition.ĭoom 3 has received the HD treatment with bags of extra missions and trophy support.
