I've just played it and it is superb.
I have an AMD 2.4, 512 ram and a 9600 and I can run the game at 1280 x 1024 on medium specs with very little framerate drops. And even on these settings the graphics are the best you'll have ever seen.
Gameplay wise the game is s**t scary. Playing in a dark room, all alone, at half 12 in the morning doesn't help matters. At one stage it made me jump 3 times in about 2 minutes.
One of the features I like most is that you have a PDA that stores all your emails, facts, videos and everything on. You can hook it up to machines to download more emails and data etc. The interactivity is also brilliant. When you look at a control panel your crosshair turns into a mouse pointer making it great to select the functions.
Lighting is another thing I love about this game. You need to play the game to appreciate how good it is. The flashlight is also superb, and in a dark game like Doom 3, proves very useful.
[S]P.S. I shall be purchasing the legit copy on Friday :P I just couldn't wait.

The shotgun is great, one of the only weapons I use though it's pitiful at long range. Not much of a problem though since you mostly walk around corridors but still.
What a boring set of weapons they give you in Doom 3.
I mean, at least make them loud and terrifyingly violent weapons. The Chainsaw is a good example - oh, how horrifyingly loud and chiselled.
The crisp and high-quality sounds in the game do help an awful lot, though.
I've spasmed in fright only once.

Throw your desk at your monitor.

The plain cheek of it all.
You've downloaded Doom 3? Then you deserve every problem that you encounter

Thats good. Maybe look into other tweaks in the config to get you running 16 AF as thats another decent step towards nicer graphics.
