get an xbox and the game. I have played both (I have both actually). While the pc version is superior graphically (if you have a high end machine), the xbox version is very very very good. Also, with xbox live (with headset), the multiplayer is better (IMO) with xbox. I highly recommend the collectors edition to get the extra videos and the original doom 1 and 2. -- Mickster Visit my website and see my arcade!! http://mickster.freeservers.com "jgarbuz" <jgarbuz@netzero.com> wrote in message news:1113493480.119595.40020@z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com... > > maurice wrote: >> Damn this game is the shit!!!..< > > I'm trying to figure out if you're saying that the game is good, or > bad.
