Doom 3 BFG Edition (PS3)

Doom is one of those games that I always forget that I played.  Doom 3 is probably the most forgettable of the games I have played.  I haven't played the most recent release in the series.  I'm not a huge fan of them because I'm not the best at shooters.

As far as story goes, the game follows the same concept of the previous games.  Demons have invaded a space station because humans are stupid and they unleashed them.  It is the players job to put an end to it before all of humanity is threatened.  This sounds familiar and honestly, it is if you played the first two.  There is nothing wrong with this though because each game builds on the previous game.

The combat here is very similar.  With health packs, armor, and varying levels of increased weaponry.  Some weapons are obviously better than others and will be mainstays.  Mainly the shotgun and rocket launcher.  Everything else felt weak.  Even the BFG didn't feel satisfying to fire in this game but that was just me. 

I will say they did try out some interesting concepts.  The lighting was huge in this game, a little annoying at times but it does help the game feel.  They did a good job of setting up the story but it kind of gets jumbled and I honestly can't even remember how this game ends.  A fun distraction if you ever want to run around and kill demons.  Not the best game in the series though.  There are problems with it but not enough to warrant avoiding the game.
