Oh and a personal note, so this will be subjective of course- Doom3 to me was a letdown. Sure the graphics are pretty tight but the pacing was choppy as hell and the game really started to repeat itself in a big way.

Want a better game to play?

Find a copy of System Shock 2.

Be afraid, very afraid.

Doom3 Resurrection of Evil is better imho, I played System Shock2 before, it didn't scare me really, the graphics and the location of Doom3 really make the game very spooky. ever tried Doom3 at 03:00 AM with a good head phone set on from Sennheiser? hehe it will scare you to death really.

Doom3 and Doom3 Resrrection of Evil are the best I've ever played yet. Half Life2 looks very nice  but not so scary, I think Prey is gonna be a bigger Hell than D3 & D3 RoE though.

Got Sytem Shock2 boxed though :)

Nope, played through three times and each time was flatter then the last.

I only play at night with headphones so not to disturb my daughter.

Problem with Doom3 is it's very uneven, the pacing is awful and the use of sound as a tool to build tension is ignored for the most part.

System Shock 2 uses sound to scare the hell out of you to great effect, it not what you can see that scares you but what you hear that has the greatest impact.

well I tried SystemShock on my Laptop yesterday:
P4 Prescott 3400HT + SSE3,
ATi M18 [MR9800]
2x 512MB PC-3200 Infinieon
WinXP Home
DirectX 9.0c.

well the game didn't run, I wonder whhy, I suppose WinXP Home is too new or so, So I'll try it under Win2K Pro with the Voodoo5 5500 AGP Rev.A 2500 and 98SE with the Voodoo3 3000 AGP +TV-Out Rev.C 5199.

I absolutely agree with gdonovan, System Shock 2 in my opinion is one of the finest and scariest pc games ever developed  8)

The tension, atmosphere & mood the game creates is simply superb and has'nt been surpassed by any game that I have played since its release.

I remember my first time playing it, I could only play for 20-30 minute sessions and would have to stop for a while to regroup, sensory overload I guess  ::)

9.5 out of 10 (Gaming at its very best)  ;)

I had the same problem, my only issue with the game is the models could have had higher polygon count (which to a degree has been fixed by third party patch) and the end of the game was just a bit sloppy compared to the beginning and middle.

A lot of game designers should study this game as something done right.

anyways I like Doom3 very much still it's mission packed scored 98% here in the Netherlands, just alot of action when playing in nightmare mode, But Prey is gonna be alot better. it's too bad that Prey had to be cancled so many times I always looked forewards to it.

Daikatana was a failure, a pitty on that it's graphics were okay though. System Shock1 was like Descent a real breakthrough ion new gameplay and graphics technnology the sound in both games were also very stunning.

I wonder what happened to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Tjernobyl?
