I know it's part of the atmosphere, but as somone else says the
whole game shouldn't be like that. It's just a bit boring... and I haven't even gotten back after the very first mission tracking down the missing miner; ie, the demons literally just started appearing about five corridors back.
I also don't think the engine looks as good. Maybe it's just me. I'm
hoping there's some large, decent sized outdoor levels later. Running around in metal tubes is just a bit boring.
And here's a comparision. Alien vs Predator 2 did this gig two years ago and did it better. Heck, even the first AVP was better than my initial reactions to Doom3. Maybe it will grow on me.
HL2 so far is great. Linear, as there only seems to be "one way" to go all the time, but it's fun. The atmosphere is pretty cool, very Orwellian. I like it.
What other recommendations? I got a Max Payne demo with the card and I hae to admit I had an absolute blast with it. I'm seriously tempted to buy the game now. First time that's ever happened.
I hear Far Cry is pretty and good fun.
