I’ve played through them several times over the years so I figured I would give the source ports a shot.ĭoom 3 is set in the year 2145 and the Union Aerospace Corporation has a large base on the planet Mars.

Keep in mind that both the original game and the BFG Edition run fine on modern systems. Once in the vanilla BFG Edition and the second time using the RBDOOM-3-BFG source port which includes several enhancements. I also played through the BFG Edition and I teamed up with Jeremy in Doom 3’s coop campaign, only available in the original Xbox version. It should be noted that it only supports older mods. For this review, I played Doom 3 and Resurrection of Evil using the dhewm3 source port which contains numerous bug fixes, supports EAX-like sound effects on all operating systems, and includes better support for widescreen resolutions among other things. The BFG Edition was designed to run on modern systems and includes several changes. Doom II even comes with the No Rest for the Living expansion, originally released on Xbox Live Arcade. The BFG Edition is Doom 3, its expansion, a brand new campaign called the Lost Mission, and the first two Doom games, all combined into one package. Then came the BFG Edition in October, 2012 which released for PC and consoles.

The expansion, Resurrection of Evil, was developed by Nerve Software and released for PC in April, 2005 and Xbox in October of that same year. Developed by id Software and published by Activision, Doom 3 was released for PC in August, 2004 and Xbox in April, 2005. Despite being more of the same with a new coat of paint, it does have its moments. The classic Doom games are some of the greatest first-person shooters of all time so it’s not hard to believe that they would be an influence on other games and spawn sequels.
