Doom

The Good
It was fun when I first played it. The graphics were amazing, as was the sound. It was great, mindless fun. I loved it. Then....then I played System Shock, a game that surpasses Doom in every way imaginable. Well, except the mindless fun part.

The Bad
Repetitive, boring gameplay. Fun at first, but you do the same thing in every level, which all look the same. There is no plot. Well, there's something about gates to hell and such, but I don't consider a blurb in the readme to be a plot, per se. It's just....boring. Nothing of interest, really.

The Bottom Line
A decent, albeit brainless game. Provides some fun for a while, but around the fourth or fifth level, I realized that I was doing the same thing: Shooting monsters, looking for the exit sign. I'd much rather face a crazed, power-mad sentient computer that takes a perverse pleasure in tormenting the player, a la SHODAN in System Shock. But hey, who wants a challenging game when you can click the "fire" button three thousand times a minute?
