DOOM 3 for the Xbox brings the sci-fi horror masterpiece to console gamers

ever created, the heart-pounding title features a new co-operative campaign and
exciting Xbox Live multiplayer action. The exclusive Limited Collector's Edition
also includes full versions of the original Ultimate DOOM and DOOM II playable
in single player, or split-screen co-op or deathmatch with 2-4 players on one
Xbox. DOOM 3 for the Xbox is developed by Vicarious Visions and id Software.
Co-developed by Nerve Software and id Software, DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil
continues the terrifying and intense action of the top selling, critically
acclaimed and instant classic DOOM 3 -- awarded 94% from PC Gamer and five out
of five stars from Computer Gaming World -- in an all-new assault on humanity.
Resurrection of Evil picks up two years following the events of the original in
a once forgotten and remote UAC research facility on Mars. Players wage a brutal
war against an army of new demons and zombies including Hell's own Hunters,
while utilizing incredible new weapons like the physics defying "grabber" and
the return of the classic double-barreled shotgun. Featuring new locations,
puzzles and mysterious powers like the ability to slow time, Resurrection of
Evil will have players reloading for the bloodiest battle yet.
Both titles are rated "M" for Mature (Blood and Gore, Intense Violence) by the
ESRB.
