It may be an apples to oranges comparison. Doom 3 was purposly made to
have a dark, clostrophobic atmosphere. It also was designed to recapture
the origional feel of the earlier games. I wish Id had went farther and
included vehicles and outdoor areas like Far Cry. It seems as if Id was
just trying to create an "old school" game and at that, they suceeded.

I like both games but I have to give the edge to Far Cry. In Far Cry,
there's more than one way to complete a task. If you have to get to the
other side of an island, you can take a boat, truck, or walk. The game
play was more open.

My 2 cents
