That's a rough review of DOOM 3. Granted, as a shooter, it wasn't ground breaking, but it excelled at creating a mood. The lighting and sound were easily some of the best at the time. The story was weak, but the way it was presented to the player (via personal logs) was unique and organic.

I think the game might have been more successful as a survival horror (sans shooter emphasis).

A good example of all of DOOM 3's weaknesses and none of its strengths is the DOOM 3: Ressurection of Evil Expansion Pack.
