I love Doom it's one the best games I've ever played. Doom
was released on many different consoles: SNES, 3DO, Atari Jaguar and many more.
Doom was ported to the PlayStation in 1995 and was a big turnaround as the game
was much scarier. The music was change to make a creepy look to the game. In
1997 the PlayStation version of the game was ported to the Sega Saturn and was
Terrible.
Graphics: 4
It's bad. The game looks good but there only 3 forms of
lighting bright, dull and dark. The frame rate is poor and in the later levels,
it can become very hard to play and if you’re got 12 Hell Knights in front of
you, good luck. Alien Trilogy on the Saturn Is the same story. The PlayStation
version was ported to the Saturn and all they did was change the lighting and
that's it. So why didn't they do that with Doom? Note, Alien Trilogy was
released on the PlayStation in spring 1996 and the Saturn in summer of 1996.
Doom PlayStation released 1995, the Saturn Port in 1997.
Sound: 7
The sound is really good and they did well with putting the
music on the Saturn from PlayStation. The guns sound great and when you fire
the double barrel shotgun, that clunk click, make you feel powerful. There’s
only one thing, there’s only a few soundtracks for the levels, while the
PlayStation as a unique song for each level, the Saturn has about 10 tracks.
But the soundtracks they picked are some of the scariest music from the
PlayStation.
Addictiveness: 3 If this is the only port of doom you have got, its easy to pick
up and play again. If you have Doom on a different console, no you won't play it
again. The main reasons are 2 major flaws; the game as the password system unlike the others with the save system. While
yes the PlayStation has the password system but the game is better which can
make the password system worth it. The frame rate, that makes the game addictiveness low. Most of time when the game gets so bad, you might rage quit,
it can get that bad.
Story: 7 The story is pretty good for the time. The U.A.C (union
aerospace corporation) has been able to make a portal to mars's two moons,
Phobos and Deimos. You are put onto Mars after you assaulted your commanding officer
for being ordered to shoot on civilians. The portal goes badly wrong and hell
invades. You need to save Earth from an invasion from the evil demons. Doom on
other consoles where put into 4 episodes, all with a different story, But the PlayStation and Saturn ones, where all one game.
Doom 2 is also on the disc, that story is hell is on earth
and you need to save the earth from hell and Kill the Spider Mastermind to save
the human race. Doom Guy gets orders to go to his home town where yes hell as taken over and needs to save his home. The ending on the PlayStation and Saturn is you need to kill the Spider Mastermind to save earth, while on the other ports of doom 2, you need to kill the Icon Of Sin.
Depth: 4
The game it not has big or in depth as the other ports are. While they have secret levels everywhere, the Saturn has one that I can Find on level 3. But it will take a long time to beat and some levels are hard or have small puzzles to solve. But size is almost 100% from the other ports which is good compared that they watered down everything else. But it still classic Doom, kill this, find the exit. There are still many secrets to be found in the game; hidden guns, ammo, med kits etc.
Difficulty: 5
The game is easy at first. The frame rate makes the later levels hard and some levels become unplayable. The controls are prefect and work well, but its the frame rate the puts it down. There one level where you start surround by doors and the part where you need to run to the exit as the platforms your on go down in to the poison and then, your stuck and have to restart the level.
Doom didn't do that well on the Saturn, It's the game fault, the Saturn was a hard console to program games for so 3rd party games didn't do that the well. If want to play Doom, Find it on a different system, it will do you a favor. Overall: 3
