So, how does Doom3 look/play on the Xbox?

I know it's a PC newsgroup, but I don't subscribe to console newsgroups
("down w/consoles! PC's are best").

My brother's rig struggles w/Doom3 (9500 Pro overclocked, Mobile athlon @
2310Mhz, 213Mhz FSB 142Mhz memory, 1.8 Gigabytes of PC2100): high detail,
640*480, 2xAA, 8xAF. So how the hell can a console w/less than half the
perf./specs of my brother's computer play Doom3?

because its a machine that is made specifically for games,

I have both the pc and xbox versions. The xbox version is very good. If
you don't mind playing with a gamepad its actually more fun than the pc (at
least for me). The xbox live component is what makes it better than the pc.

Also the inclusion of the original doom and doom2 was pretty cool too.

You can't play FPS's on a console.

1) It does it at 640x480.
2) _at 30 fps_. (And actually I think it has problems maintaining 30
fps.)
3) Forget about any AA.
4) Forget about any AF.
5) Lowest-res textures.
