Hell, Doom 3 was pretty much the first game to have enemies tearing their way through level geometry in the first place. In addition to the ubiquitous monster closets and red-flash teleporter spawns, the two previous games featured just enough custom-designed action moments and unique enemy entrances to keep things entertaining. The Lost Mission is not the reason to own the BFG Edition. In this package you get regular Doom 3, the expansion Resurrection of Evil (which added some pretty tasty stuff to the original recipe), and that new eight-level campaign dubbed The Lost Mission. If you really want a version of Doom 3 to play on your Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, BFG Edition works, but it's bafflingly far from ideal. Even the inclusion of Doom and Doom II isn't handled as elegantly as it should be on either console. Far from the loving tribute to an important milestone in modern games it could have been, BFG only adds a couple of esoteric technical features and a short, mediocre new campaign add-on to Doom 3, at the expense of some of the core graphics and gameplay features that defined the game's identity on its initial release. Whichever kind of person you are, the new BFG Edition is probably not the Doom 3 you should hold onto for posterity. Me, I'm a staunch member of the pro-Doom 3 brigade, and while I haven't thought much about the game since I got done with its only expansion pack ages ago, I realized recently that I've been plenty ready for a good excuse to run back through those dimly lit Martian corridors again with all the hindsight the last several years have provided. Whether you found the juggling of weapons and flashlight to be a taut tension-builder or a tedious chore, thought the monster closets were chilling or just cheesy, odds are Doom 3 left a deep impression on you. Let it suffice that eight years after release, Doom 3 remains a divisive game.
There are two kinds of people in this world: people who loved Doom 3, and people who.well, you know how that goes. Still the market leader in creepy colored lighting.
