Summary

Another Id Engine seller, but nice.

The Good

Well, It's basically Doom. Lot's of enemies, ammo and fights. This is a game that revives the old classic in a modern way.

The Bad

A good lightning, but with an excess of dark. It's really boring to walk around all the time with the flashlight... Some really nice enemies make just a few appearances (pink demons) while others appear all time (imps).

The bosses are too easy, and there isn't much more to do once you finish it.

Another bad thing is the usual lack of variety in the levels. When I reached Hell I was amazed, but after that, the game went back to the dark base theme. Pity!

The Bottom Line

Id, more than anything, likes to make engines. Their great blockbusters are always, like some say, tech demos. This game is no exception. It does have a feeling that Id tried to do something better, but it relies too much on their old concepts to be a something different.

Despite that, it's still a good old school shooter and you should be pleased playing it.
