Well
this is the game that really pushed 3D strategy/shoot-em-ups firmly in the face
of just about every computer owning gamer around the globe and a welcome
addition to the PlayStation format it is too!
You have been transported
to hell its-self in order to prevent the demonic hordes from taking over the
earth. Every new area that you visit is filled with fiendish traps and devilish
secrets to find. You are aided in your mission by a range of weaponry and armor
that can be found around most levels.

THE
best shot-em-up to date arrives on the Playstation for a 59 level romp.

The
graphics are getting older but they are still good, especially the monsters.
The Playstation version introduces clever light sourcing which adds tremendous
atmosphere to the game. The powerfull hardware on-board the PSX helps the game
engine to run at a speed equivalent to a top-end Pentium PC.

The
music is as atmospheric as in the other versions of this game and being on CD
are now even juicier. The tunes cleverly change from area to area getting more
frantic as you enter the more dangerous sections of the game. This really helps
to build the atmosphere as you wander through corridors. Playing this game with
the console connected to your Hi-Fi and in a darkened room can be quite a
nerve-racking experience.

The
controls are perfect with the strafe movements connected to the shoulder buttons
feeling so comfortable. Its a lot easier to control than on a PC or a
Macintosh with a keyboard!
There are four difficulty levels available from I am a Whimp to Ultra
Violence. In the original version there were 5 levels. Why change this ?
Because
I knew Doom long before it was available on Playstation the gameplay wasn't
that fantastic for me. But it was fun because there were slight improvements
since the PC or Macintosh version and the CD contained both Dooms (Ultimate Doom
& Doom II). This means 54 levels and five bonus stages! Also the character
moves without problems (well, most of the time).
Doom is even better
when a friend of yours rents the game, brings his TV and Playstation along and
tries to blow you away with his BFG9000 (now that`s what I call a gun)!

The
playability of this game is right up there with the PC version, maybe even
better. Great new light sourcing effects have been added. Ultimate Doom and
Doom2 on ONE DISK. Quite possibly the best two player link game available for
the Playstation. The sounds give this game a realistic tint but I liked the
original music better. Doom sets the standard for the genre and in my opinion it
always will. If you have never had Doom before go buy it. Trust me on this
one, you won't regret it!
