DOS version

A legend in the making

The Good
Absolutely EVERYTHING is good in this game - graphics were kick-ass for the time, the monsters looked cool and some even creepy, level design was fun and weapons looked real. The sound was very enjoyable - great soundtracks and sounds of monster roaring made the gameplay impressive. And the gameplay? There's nothing to say about it except that its a perfect 5! Its just an orgasm to play Doom - killing such epic monsters like Barons, Imps, Cacodemons etc. with weapons like the pistol and the shotgun. Except these of course, we have some very powerful weapons like the Rocket Launcher, Plasma Rifle and the famous BFG9000. The game also had a descent story, separated into 3 episodes, which take place on Phobos, Deimos, and Hell itself.

The Bad
If there's anything to not like about this game, than it might be the controls, which weren't too easy, because buttons were quite far away from each other, but there's nothing seriously wrong about Doom. Its Doom for gods sake! And by the way, there are mods for Doom like zDoom or jDoom, which you can download to not only customise your controls, but also to completely change some effects and play the game in a resolution which suits you.

The Bottom Line
I think every gamer out there knows what Doom is and how kick-ass it is, so there is nothing to describe, unless you don't know what Doom is, i'll tell you -, its not just a game, ITS A LEGEND! If you haven't played Doom, you don't know what a really good FPS game is. Enough said.
