"Doom: Ressurection of Evil"

Just found out that this just hit the shelves ! Think I might have to grab this. Anyone picked it up ? I'm guessing it still has online co-op.

Doom 3 is probably larger. The single player has something like 45 levels in it. Even if you beat it in co-op, its worth playing through the single player because it has more atmosphere and you get the story elements and cut scenes.

Doom 3 is £18.99 on Amazon. Res of Evil is couple of quid lower.

Aha, just got it used for £14.49 including delivery from Amazon Marketplace. Not bad, eh? Still getting the res of evil pack though.

I wasn't being cheeky. :)

I meant ID are dumb for having it need the original with so many popluar game 'expansions' being playable straight out the box without the original game.

Although I suppose you get it all in one package it minimises sales and forces people who've sold the original to buy it agai if they want to play the expansion.

Sorry. I wasn't clear. PC res of evil needs the original Doom3. I highly doubt the Xbox version will need it.

Might get Doom 3 anyway, it looks alright.

Have any console games ever done this?

Anyway I think the site selling it to you would have to say that the original was required to play the game if it was indeed the case.

Hmmmm, about 5 years ago that wouldn't have been dumb.

The Xbox version is standalone, yeah? Right? God tell me it's true!

EDIT: Because I haven't found anywhere that says you need the original.

No. You need Doom3.

The 8 player capture the flag could be fun. :-)
