Summary: Difficult to install on an intel mac
Comment: This is a marvelous, cinematic, beautifully detailed, and deeply immersive game, but getting this up and running on an intel mac is like installing freeware from 5 years ago. If Aspyr is actually making money off the mac version, they should fix it. Otherwise, they should just retire it and save users needless frustration.
Here's what worked for me. Copy the doom3 folder from the dvd to wherever you want to install it (e.g., applications). Then go to the aspyr patches page and click doom3 -- link:
http://support.aspyr.com/index.php?x=&mod_id=2&root=47&id=390
Download DOOM 3 1.3.1 RevA then install it. IMPORTANT: install it JUST AFTER copying the game from the CD to your hard drive. If you attempt to start the game first, the patch installation will just hang indefinitely.
Next: plug in headphones. Do this BEFORE starting the game, otherwise you'll have no sound at all. If you don't want to use headphones, you MIGHT still have sound if you unplug them after the game has started.
Good luck!

Summary: A Beautiful Nightmare
Comment:
PLAYED ON: Mac Pro with 8800 GT. Runs beautifully on high settings. No technical problems whatsoever.
GAMEPLAY: Straight-up, no-frills shooter. This is basically a corridor crawl from start to finish, with minimal distanced combat. Puzzles are simple enough that getting stuck is unlikely. Rather light on difficulty overall, as the AI is relentless but not very adaptive. Nightmare mode is frustrating due to the fact that health is sapped automatically, despite not being hit.
STORY: Classic Doom scenario, fleshed out with compelling backstory.
GRAPHICS: Continue to impress. Credit the art department with some beautiful details, both in the characters and some of the locales. As you approach the end of the game, the graphics really get a chance to shine.
ATMOSPHERE: Definitely creepy. Enemies sound appropriately hellish, as do the various ambient sounds. The voice acting is a very important element here, and it meets the challenge as well. Of course, the game is also extremely dark, and the player must constantly be on guard against things jumping out from hiding places in full attack mode. Like any good game, the developers have included the little touches necessary to establish an appropriate mood (in this case desperation, dread, and fear).
VALUE: DOOM 3 is a long game by shooter standards. You will get your money's worth. Unfortunately there is little immediate replay value once you've made it through the whole story.
Come on, DOOM 4!!
BOTTOM LINE: DOOM 3 is a lovingly crafted, highly entertaining experience. If you are a shooter fan, particularly a Mac shooter fan, you owe it to yourself to get this game.

Summary: My Doom
Comment: Very interesting and presents a very good scare tactics. This Doom being more human like beats all previous versions

Summary: Doom 3 OSX 10.5
Comment: Game runs very well on my intel based MacBook Pro. Install the Doom 3 1.3.1 Rev A update (I found it through the Apple web page) before running this game on OSX 10.5. My OS version required me to open Audio MIDI setup, & change the Audio Output from 2ch-24 bit to 2ch-16 bit, otherwise audio would not work.
I encountered one freeze up during the early portion of the game, however the remainder of the game ran flawlessly. An immersing game, however a bit short IMHO.

Summary: Smells like poo, tastes like chicken
Comment: It's a very good game with a lot of sneaky surprises and scary death aliens. The concept is very original, and it is a very good product. Plus, when you take the DVD out of the case, you can then use the box to fix a wobbly table.
