DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM !!!
Brutal, Vicious, Enthralling, Scary, Addictive, Beautiful, Heart Pounding! DOOM!
GRAPHICS - Great art style, this is a game that will always be great to look at. It's like playing a gory, action packed, over the top comic book.
GAMEPLAY - Shooter, Action, Survival, Horror, Strategy, Puzzle. Yes, DOOM is not only a Shooter. Only being good at aiming will not make you a good player. You require a wide variety of skills to consider yourself good at it.
You run at superhuman speeds, mowing down hordes of demons with only one primitive instinct, that of disemboweling everything they see. Suddenly the lights go out, and you can hear them closing in. You need to find the best way of disposing them, as ammo is limited. Demons have patterns and abilties that complement each other, always challenging the player. Pinky demons will close the distance with zig-zagging motions, acting like a "tank", while hitscan enemies and imps shred you from your distance. You have to use the environment to your advantage and kill them in an optimal, ammo conserving way. Maybe lure them in a tight corridor, chainsawing the pinkies, while the imps throw fireballs in the back of the pinkies, causing them to infight. DOOM requires strategy and planning, not only rushing in and getting ambushed by hordes of evil, demonic creatures. The maps are open, and you have to choose which part you want to explore and what items to pick up first. Should you go one way and pick up an armor, or the other way to get a sweet chaingun? Also, the game has a lot of secrets, requiring you to use your brain and find the, It has a lot of depth, and mastering it will take you some time, but it is worth it. You have to play it on a high difficulty level to get the most out of it. So yeah, this game has some of the best gameplay out there, EVER!
MUSIC - Great music, some awesome guitar riffs to complement the brutal gameplay.
LASTING APPEAL - Tons of hours of fun, there are literally hundreds of user created maps.
