- Doom 3 is a very good game, probably better than you remember. For PS3 owners who've never gotten any of this content, it's a particularly great deal. BFG Edition is a tough sell for the PC crowd, but console jockeys who missed it when it was the next big thing should dive on in. While several nagging issues can make it feel more like a rushed port rather than the definitive director's cut it should be, there's no denying that Doom 3 has improved with age.
Vincent Ingenito · Oct 25, 2012 Reviewed on PC, PS3, X360Read full review - For a poop-ton of extras I could see a full release, but this simply reeks of the combination of "let's fix minor prior mistakes", like the flashlight with a weapon and some other lighting bits, and cashing in on a 20th anniversary, minus any… you know, history. Wait for the price for this to drop, or just save your cash.
Kevin Schaller · Oct 25, 2012 Reviewed on X360Read full review - The depth of the game surprised me in 3D. While there wasn’t anything really jumping out at me, I did find myself moving my head to try to look around dark corners. I found the in-game mounted flashlight to be a bit of a pain though, as its power timer runs out after less than a minute, and having to constantly hit the light button on the controller can get monotonous.
Louis Edwards · Oct 25, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Doom 3: BFG Edition is still an enjoyable romp through armies of hellspawn, and if you've yet to play the Doom series, there's a lot to like here. Just be prepared for plenty of repetitive strafing and fragging lots of demon ass. This is clearly the devil's work.
Richard Walker · Oct 25, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Doom 3: BFG Edition is, without a doubt, the definitive collection for fans of this series. The package brings together virtually every Doom offering that has ever existed, with additions like the "duct tape" mod and The Lost Missions amounting to delicious gravy. We've seen many iterations of the various games in re-releases over the years, but BFG Edition is the best.
Adam Rosenberg · Oct 23, 2012 Reviewed on X360Read full review - On the 360, you're just launching the Xbox Live Arcade releases from a menu, so if you already bought those, you're getting literally nothing new. (The inability to play these releases from the game's custom menu when the disc is installed is just inexcusable, especially when you can still circumvent the issue by playing them from the dashboard's games library.)
Brad Shoemaker · Oct 22, 2012 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - This collection is a little something for fans to whet their appetites with in preparation for id's long-awaited reveal of the long-in-development fourth installment. With that said, this is one of the best HD re-releases I've played so far. You won't confuse this with any recently released games, but outside of some obvious trademarks of the previous generation of games (such as an overall lack of detail on the characters and world), this is a stunning game.
Adam Dodd · Oct 19, 2012 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Whether you have the energy to experience all of that entertainment depends entirely on your tolerance for non-stop, mostly immutable FPS action, but nevertheless, this is worth nabbing for any DOOM fan currently not rocking a gaming rig.
Jim Sterling · Oct 19, 2012 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Doom 3 has aged fantastically well. Provided you haven’t already played the games in this collection, BFG Edition is also a solid value. However, if you already own the XBLA Doom games or have played Doom 3 on PC, recommending BFG Edition becomes less easy to do. As a fan of Doom 3, I feel like BFG Edition misses a good deal of its potential, especially if you compare it to last year’s Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.
Lawrence Sonntag · Oct 19, 2012 Reviewed on X360 - It's a game that can startle you, for sure, but one that more often bores, the gunplay a low thrumming drone rather than a high-pitched screech of rage. Doom 3 is part of the most iconic FPS lineage gaming has, so your mind tries to make it fit that. But in the end, it doesn't. The truth about Doom 3, and it breaks my heart to say it, is that it just isn't very good.
