    Staying alive is definitely more challenging the second time around, but the game still feels extremely linear and simply lacks much surprise. Just like with Doom 3, RoE works best if you're afraid of the dark, but sadly most of us have outgrown that fear long ago.

    Best enjoyed in short doses with the lights off, Resurrection of Evil is more of the same. A little too similar to Doom 3, but then we had no problems gunning our way through another Doom adventure - especially for a cool 20 notes.

    This is what an expansion pack should be – not in terms of new weapons or monsters, but in terms of size and adventure. RoE adds to the Doom 3 experience in a wonderful way. Any one who owns the original deserves to treat themselves to the expansion.

    Resurrection of Evil does a good job of reprising the straight-ahead shooting of Doom 3, and the new additions help to add a little depth to what was admittedly a pretty basic action game. The expansion's not incredibly long, so a dedicated player can blow through it in eight to 10 hours. However, its action is solid and entertaining throughout, without ever feeling like a chore.

    While RoE provides much more interesting and tactically useful environments, it still doesn't quite offer the challenges we've become accustomed to with shooters like Far Cry and Half-Life 2. And from what I've seen of Monolith's F.E.A.R., RoE's appeal will slip a notch futher, as the encounters in F.E.A.R. are consistently more satisfying and the supernatural element more effective, in my opinion.

    A must-have for those who loved Doom 3, and a must-avoid for everyone else, Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil is quite good as an expansion, but didn't really have any hopes of being something more than that, since the core material that it had to work with was mildly entertaining. It's much better to buy Doom 3: BFG Edition, which has the original, this expansion, along with a new one, as well as The Ultimate Doom and Doom II.
