🕹️ New release: Lunar Lander Beyond

Doom II

aka: Doom II: Hell on Earth
Moby ID: 299

DOS version

Click-boom. Urgh. Great.

The Good
(As a game)

The game is very well balanced, finely crafted,
and top in many aspects.. terrific sound effects, for example. =)

(Compared to Doom)

The double-barreled shotgun is a terrific weapon, well balanced in terms of damage ratio and loading time. And the new enemies are very pleasant people to meet.. well, you know what I mean :)

The Bad
The level layout starts to suck in the later levels, as opposed to Doom that always had acceptable layouts. Some of the levels seem like poorly thought 3d party Doom levels.

The ending is somewhat lame, too.

The Bottom Line
A great 3d shooter. If you don't care about how many polygons were used to render your AK-47, play this.

'tis divine.
