		Vicarious Visions did a really good job because the Xbox port of Doom 3, for the most part, looks almost exactly the same as the PC version, which is an incredible feat.
		Thanks to the Xbox's hard drive, however, Vicarious Visions was able to stream a lot of data from that into memory on the fly, resulting in very large levels with only a few more "Loading" sections than the PC version.
		In co-op mode, Vicarious Visions has added a lot more demons to the mix, but Bill's little fl box just can't handle all of the extra models and effects being tossed around, and this results in some massive slowdown at times.
