I was a fan of the earlier installments of the Doom series. For the 90's they were kinda scary, it more about the sounds you hear in the game then Graphics.
Same goes with Doom 3 but amplified. Doom 3 is pretty scary, about as scary a video game can get to be honest. Many people complained about the fact you have to switch from flashlight to gun, and this fact alone is what kept me form buying it because, I wanted the action. But once I bought it, this aspect makes the game much more suspenseful. I love how dark everything is and all you hear are random demonic sounds that, with a decent speaker system and sub-woofer, sounds fantastic! And this is why... Running around in the dark, you might hear some grunts from a zombie or two...or three hiding, and because your own footsteps makes sounds you might wanna stop to hear their footsteps if they are close by. You're using your flashlight like crazy trying to find the source of the eerie sounds and footsteps and then, BOOM! The Zombie is right next to you clawing away, and you must sacrifice your flashlight to pummel the unfortunate zombie. Trust me when I say their is nothing more suspenseful in this VG when you got to shoot figures coming in and out of broken light fixtures.
The lighting in the game is great along with the sound. It really makes this, what would otherwise be a normal first person shooter, into a demonic horror show.
Kudos
