The problem is, it doesn't so much extend the experience of Doom 3 as replicate it in slightly abridged form, recreating the familiar descent into hell with only a moderate reshuffle of elements. And if anything, developer Nerve has slightly outdone id in the design stakes. Being from the id stable, it's also stunningly realised, with some of the most detailed, intense and downright creepy visuals you'll find in a videogame (or elsewhere). It fulfils its assigned role ably, extending the experience of the original game and adding a few new weapons, monsters and (much-needed) multiplayer options.
To be fair, Resurrection Of Evil is not a bad expansion pack. How many times can we be expected to make the SAME journey through the SAME corridors, being attacked by the SAME sodding monsters jumping out of the SAME hidden cupboards and shooting them with the SAME weapons on the way to the SAME inevitable, infernal rendezvous in hell? It's fast becoming the Police Academy of first-person shooters (or should that be Friday The 13th?).

We've cut the Doom series A LOT of slack over the years, partly because it pretty much invented the world as know it, and partly because it's always had that gorgeous technology.
