    I bought the limited edition a few days after it came out. It's a great game, although I can't compare it to the computer version (I've never played it).

    i played both versions and i still think the GFX on the PC version is better. this doesn't take away from the fact that it's a great game to be played on both systems. i was surprised how much fun it was on xbox. ultimate doom was great too :)

    Well the gfx on the pc should be better. Looks lovely at high resolutions.

    Yeah, but you need a pretty kick-ass PC if you want Doom3 running any higher than about 20-25 fps. *AT LEAST* a Radeon 9800 Pro, for starters...
     
  5. ...I have DOOM III running on both the Xbox and the P.C, my P.C is a high end gaming setup jobbie and it looks lovely, it just plays nicer on the Xbox imo :)

    I'll definitely buy this......

    Are there 3rd party keyboard/mouse setups for the Xbox?

  8. That SmartJoy Frag the_steadster linked to is supposed to be a godsend for Doom 3.

    So to those who own it, how faithfully have Doom and Doom 2 been ported? That's my main concern... :-D

    I have the special limited addition as well. Havent really been scared yet, though. An imp pops in through a door, doesnt scare me, but makes me mad. Then soon he is disintegrated.

    I'd guess you're missing two things: lights off, and headphones, cranked up loud. It won't "scare" you but I promise it'll make you jump ;)

    I played up to the little spider heads in Doom 3 on PC. I couldn't go any futher, I was getting 2-4 FPS with those mofos running around. It is definately worth a purchase for Xbox, especially if your PC can't run it.

    Its definatly fun on xbox, but much better on a high end PC.

    Athlon 64 3400+
    Geforce 6800GT
    1 gb ram

    Much better then the xbox lol :)

    haven't tried the smartjoy frag with doom3 yet but i've had lots of fun with it in halo and halo2...gotta try doom sometime

    and as far as the ports, i think they were pretty well pulled-off. i didn't play the old doom games much on PC (i was more of a duke nukem 3d person) but from what i see, it's pretty decent

    Doom 3 was pathetic on the PC and from he looks of it the Xbox one doesnt seem that much better. Doom 3 could have been cool but it was just disapointing to me.

    Wow, i thought it was a new thread until i saw my name under the name of the thread, then i realised it was made ages ago! :D

    is there an artwork book with the collector ed.? don't know, the box seems too tiny to contain one, at least a decent one.

    There's a concept art section in the game under "Extras". I haven't looked at it yet.

    Better graphics does not make it a better game. Tell me, can you play co-op on the PC version?

    Anyway, Like I said before, I got the CE the day it came out.

    I find it much more enjoyable with a mouse and keyboard, with my nice monitor, and all that fancy stuff, surround sound included. Sure, i can do it with my xbox, but its still not the same.

    And there was a mod allowing you to do the single player missions over the internet :)
