I'd hold comment on the graphics if I were you. From what I have seen from official screenshots/video and alpha screenshots, there is a lot of difference. All sorts of textures missing and stuff in the Alpha and unless you were playing with Radeon 9800 Pro/GeforceFX 5950 at the time, you definitley didn't have the full compliment of DX9 features (Pixel Shaders
) and a resolution of 1024x768+.

The game does an excellent job fading the music in and out depending on the situation. A constant menacing laughter sends shivers down your spine. Bottom line: Get Doom 3 and play it with the lights off between the hours of 11pm and 4am... you'll love it.

That's good to hear, from the trailer, it was looking pretty boring... Half the trailer was the player back pedaling while holding fire at a big monster right in front of him. If they can make it scary, that will definitley help.
