Generally speaking, the game is meant to utterly creep you out. There's a bigger horror element in DOOM 3, with a handful of scripted scares.

DOOM 3's focus on story makes the pacing feel a bit more deliberate and slow, which is a decent change from the surprisingly fast-paced original games. In each stage, you must navigate through the darkly lit areas, blasting enemies with your weapons as they leap from the shadows. The game is still broken up into levels, filled with hordes of enemies. When it comes down to gameplay, DOOM 3 provides players with the same great bloody action the DOOM franchise is known for. Some characters give you directions and help by speaking to you via radio, while others taunt and scare you with their supernatural powers. As the unnamed space marine, you'll meet a variety of characters (both good and bad) as you make your way through the game's creepy levels. As you explore the various levels in the game, you'll encounter characters who will provide you with information and narrative exposition. DOOM 3 tells a similar story, but it does so in a more modern ways. On Mars, dangerous science experiments have accidentally opened a portal to Hell, spilling demons out onto the red planet. Like the first game, DOOM 3 takes place on the planet Mars. The story in DOOM 3 is very similar to the original game, but with some modern trimmings. With an assortment of overpowered weaponry, you'll take the role of a super soldier, ripping and tearing through hordes of otherworldly creatures. As literal Hell breaks loose on the planet of Mars, it's up to the player to repel the demonic threat and save humanity. It's full of hellish demons, darkly lit levels, and gory gunplay. Developed by id Software and released in 2004, the game reintroduces players to the iconic story and world of the DOOM series. Despite its numbering, DOOM 3 is not a follow-up title to DOOM 2, but a reboot of the entire DOOM franchise.
