I am an old Doom player from the old days.I finally built a new computer that would run this game with no problems,The complaints I have with the game is that it takes a very fast computer to run it.I tried the game on Pent 4 2.0 ghz with 400 mhz front side bus and ATI radeon card with 256 mhz ram.The computer would run it but lagged in heavy game play..I know the specs claim that 1.5 ghz and a few cards will run the game..well they are not totaly right.To let you know I build custom Computers and I am not a novice at this.I finally built a Pent 4 with a 3.0 ghz and 533 front side bus,With G Force 256 card.Did some tweaks and now it runs great.This Resurrection expansion pack adds on levels to the original Doom 3 game.So if someone is going to buy and play this game then know what you are getting yourself into and make sure your system will handle it.

I decided to buy doom 3 ROE, because i truely enjoyed the original doom 3. ROE is a master piece it has great sound, graphics, plenty of cool weapons and a variety of enemies. The physics of the game is also very good. The game is very excellent at surprising you with monsters suddenly appearing from trap doors, floors,ceilings etc. The game also has that creepy dark atmosphere that adds to the suspense. However the game is just too dark at some places and you cannot see the monsters. To truely enjoy ROE i strongly recommend to download the patch that adds a flashlight to the basic weapons in the game.
This expansion pack for Doom 3 added some great new enemies and a good story that made creating a "sequel" seem worthwhile. The end boss was more of a challenge than the Cyberdemon from Doom 3 and thankfully wrapped up the open ending from that game. If I had to list a "complaint" or something I would have done better it would have been to make the PDAs in this game add more story than just locker codes and even though this is a well-paced shooter, there were moments where I was left wanting a bit more story to keep things interesting. Still, the level design is solid and there are some neat new mini-bosses which made this a good purchase...especially if you're a fan of the Doom series.
The software would not install properly, and everytime I attempted to install it, which also caused my existing Doom 3 software to no longer work, forcing me to uninstall both & Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil, followed by reinstalling my original Doom 3, and download its patches, to see if I find another way to install and get this Resurrection of Evil software to install & work properly. I was fortunate the first to times that my original Doom 3 software managed to save existing point in the game, which was at the beginning of level 19 (Delta Labs 4). I also did my best to download load any need patches in amore than one logical proceedure. On the third attempt to install Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil, I received the same problems, and couldn't get it to work. The last time I attempted to install this new software to my computer I lost saved point in my at the beginning of level 19 of my original Doom 3 software; therefore, I had to start from the very beginning of game on level 1, after re-installing my existing Doom 3. What happened the last time was my fault from a certain perspective, because I attempted a more risky/unordinary approach by giving Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil its own seperate root folder in Program Files (x86), instead of going by the recommended approach that unfortunatly wasn't successfull, by installing it within the existing original Doom 3 folder, within Program Files (x86). Nevertheless, the received error messages that I experiences during the furious efforts of attempted installation, seem to be related to the form of drivers/setup of my video card and/or something similar to that nature. When I attempted to install the Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil software, I virtually the same lengthy error message each time, which begins with the following: "Wrong game DLL API version .................". I wish I better defined understanding what the overall cause to why it would not install successfully; therefore, I would have more information to work with, so I could correct the existing problem at hand. I understand that the error message that I received during installation may refer to driver issues. Nevertheless, I have all updates for my video card taken care of. My original Doom 3 software has never had any problems working properly, and I downloaded all the patches for my original Doom 3, plus I attempted to download the patches for Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil to see if that would help the installation proplems. I haven't gotten around to returning it yet. I have never had the experience and/or no how proceedure of returning purchases via ebay; but, I plan to do so when I can find the time. My time schedule is more difficult during this holiday season, amongst other things. I don't find any fault with this product to be related to the seller. The condition of software appears to be in good shape, as explained by the seller.Read full review
I think this game is pretty demanding, graphically. I'm using a higher end gpu (ati hd 2600xt) with 1.5 gigs ram and a p4 ht 3.2 mhz cpu. Well the game does not run well with 8x antialiasing at all.... but I can run it smoothly with no AA and everything else maxed (resolution 1280x1024). I know my processor is kinda old and I may need more ram but this game came out a while ago and it still hurts my system :( ah well, the game itself is really fun, I think it has a more creepy level design than the regular doom 3, and that cool weapon you get is a plus (not to mention the other cool ability you gain right off from the start) Well you should enjoy this game, but to max out all settings and be happy with the smoothness of the gameplay you need a pretty high end computer (which is weird cuz this game came out so long ago...)Read full review
