I'm trying to figure out if you're saying that the game is good, or
bad. I've been wrestling for months now about getting a new rig or
buying an Xbox and playing the game until I can afford the rig I want.
I've had the bootleg for months, but with no machine to play it on,
except a friends, and he's not into gaming, much less Doom.
So I've anxiously waiting for the Xbox version, and so far, you're
the first review I've read. So, is it worth buying an Xbox to play it,
or should I wait a few months to buy the $1,500 rig I want to get to
play it in its full cinematic, horrific glory!

Oh, sorry, I should have read more carefully. So, you're saying its
passably good? I'm going to get the rig eventually anyway, but I
figured  I could play it on Xbox (if it is playable) until I do, and
then replay it in all of its hidden intensity.


 I can't see how it makes this game an less enjoyable. I love the
