LOL I can not find a map to look at! I have a feeling this is the way it is designed?

Pretty cool game, and I have only got lost a few times. Still automap of some kind would be nice.

The original game didn't either. I'm not crazy about the game but I'll give ID credit for staying true to the name of Doom. You still have to find keys and all that suff too.

I'm not sure if I regret having paid top dollar for a pre-order or not. I certainly had more fun in the BoB scenario than I did playing Doom3.

Doom3 doesn't, but I thought the original did have a map... ?

It has been so long since I played the original, I can not remeber.

I like doom 3. I am not upset at paying 55$ for it.

The original Doom had a map, but it would only show the parts you already explored. It was a keyboard command to bring it up, but I cannot remember the default.

I do not care for Doom3 myself. Another typically dark, dank, and dreary Id game. They depress me with thier lack of color. The original Doom was much better in that regard.

I agree it is dark, but the original doom never scared me or made me jump. This ones does lol.

My dog came over and nudged me to get a pet, and I practacly jumped out of my seat!

It reminds me of system shock. That was a FANTASTIC game.

"System Shock" was about my limit in darkness. It was fun.

I never played 2.

Is it worth picking up? Does it run in 2000/XP?

You ever play 1 Gs?

Great game, though my all time fav was Underworld, but the same crew.

Tab brings up your PDA. With no map.

GtoRA2, it absolutely is worth picking up. Runs on Win 2000 and XP fine with a little patch available online.

Wilfred,
Did you play both it and the first one?

Was it as good as SS1?

Wilfrid · « **Reply #13 on:** August 09, 2004, 03:41:34 PM »

Sadly I never played SS1. I sold a lot of them in my first job in '94 though; I think you'd find the graphics a bit rough these days.

SS2 came out in '99 so is aging slightly but the game isnt about gfx so much as atmosphere. I only played it for the first time about a month ago and devoted a weekend to it, playing pretty much non-stop.

is ss or ss2 free or is a demo available?
