Hell YEAH!
More here!

We\'ve seen the Xbox version. It\'s real and it\'s real good.
May 04, 2004 - DOOM 3, expected to ship sometime this year for both Xbox and PC, is not a sequel to DOOM II. Instead, it\'s a retelling of the original. "What if DOOM were made today, with today\'s technology and with everything learned about gaming in the past decade?" That\'s the underpinning to one of the most anticipated titles of the year. Just because DOOM 3 is a retelling of the original doesn\'t mean the look or feel is particularly reminiscent of the classic PC title. The atmosphere is dark, the pacing of the demo somewhat slow, and every aspect more fitting of a survival horror game than a run and gun shooter. That\'s not a bad thing at all, in fact, it makes for a more intriguing title. Point being, this ain\'t yo daddy\'s DOOM, this is a whole new ballgame.
The hard part for fans is going to be looking past expectations of what a DOOM game should be and embracing what DOOM 3 is -- a gritty take on the horrors of a demon infestation at a military base on Mars. There will be shooting aplenty, don\'t worry, and in the 10-minute demo there was quite a good deal of it, but none of it is at, say, the pace of Halo. Atmosphere is clearly being emphasized with heavy use of shadow and minimal lighting, plus six-channel Surround Sound with random ethereal voices crying for help and cackling voices from the shadows. It\'s creepy, it\'s moody, but when the action hits, DOOM 3 quickly kicks into high gear, slowing once more once all the corpses have dissipated.
In DOOM 3 you play as a marine detached to a Union Aerospace Corporation facility on Mars. While away from base, a horde of demons overrun the facility. You return to find nearly everyone dead, with just a handful of combat-ineffective marines left alive. The demons have one goal -- to travel from Mars to Earth and take over the big blue ball, putting an end to shopping malls and cable television. Obviously, they must be stopped.

Halo is bad enough and this looks 10 times better IMO. Not trying to bash but pc is the way to go for those with the money or the system.

hehe! I thought the same untill I read this,
The Xbox version of Doom 3 is also running at a fluid 30 frames per second that hold up soundly throughout the game.

I don\'t care if it is running at 30fps, it is still a stripped down version of one of the most gorgeous games out there. It would be akin to taking \'Far Cry\', making it 30fps, but in the process taking all the gorgeous effects away....
Now don\'t get me wrong, DOOM 3 looks good, but it doesn\'t look that good on the Xbox. Now when you compare it to it\'s brother.
