"We had a chance to play a bit of the multiplayer action in DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil via the System Link option. You’ll have the same match type options as in the original DOOM 3 game: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Last Man Standing, and Tournament. DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil looks good and runs quite smoothly in multiplayer, but the format is still the same which may turn gamers off. It’s still only a maximum of four players per match, and the combat isn’t all that interesting. There are a few dark places that you can hide and surprise an adversary, but we were hoping for something a bit more innovative here. We will have to admit that the smallish outdoor map was quite challenging, and contained the same elevation changes as the Campaign mode. If you got into the multiplayer action in DOOM 3 then you’ll definitely like the combat in DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil; much of the same with new weapons and levels."

"According to a report in The Wall Street Journal [subscription only], last year Activision tried to buy the rights to id Software's Quake, DOOM, and Wolfenstein properties, and considered acquiring the legendary developer outright. Activision reportedly offered $90 million for the game rights, and considered a $105 million offer for the entire company.



Further, the Journal report suggests id Software fired artist and co-founder Adrian Carmack (no relation to id legend John Carmack) when he refused to be bought out for $20 million.

The article cites a suit filed by Adrian Carmack seeking to invalidate his employment contract with the developer. It appears that id refused Activision's offer hoping to force Carmack to sell his shares for $11 million, instead of the $40 million he would have received from Activision. Adrian Carmack held a 41% stake in id Software.

IGN was unable to obtain comment or confirmation from either Activision or id as of this writing."

"DOOM RPG, although based on a 12-year-old game, feels incredibly new. There is no other game on handsets quite like it (although, I really do suspect that will change in the next six to eight months). We're all familiar with the DOOM realm, especially after the successful third chapter on PC and Xbox, but this is just such a slick way to present such hallowed ground without seeming like a cash-in or retread. Many of the monsters in DOOM RPG are taken directly from the classic PC game, as are the sound effects and opening music. Even the little Marine's face in the HUD, which changes from indifference to grimace to devilish smirk, is a kick-in-the-pants reminder of purer gaming days"

"As for the single-player component it looks and plays exactly like Doom 3 Xbox. With that being said, this expansion (which doesn't require the original in order to play it) is really more of the same. I'm all for it because I thoroughly enjoyed Doom 3, but if you're looking for a new taste sensation you won't find it here. Also, I noticed that the cut scenes were a bit choppy, but since the game's unofficial release date is October 18, Nerve still has plenty of time to get things running smoothly."
