Doom Review
Overall - 9.2

Doom on the Super Nintendo is very fun to play.  I never heard of this game before till people started talking about this, so I tried it out and it was not that bad.  It seemed to be a game that I have played a long time ago on the computer.  This game is pretty good and it just wants you to play.  Doom was probably the most popular games back in the old days.  I guarantee that this game is a whole lot of fun.

Graphics - 8

The graphics are very good.  I look at it and it was not that bad for a Super Nintendo game.  The effects were amazing.  The shooting and the way of the levels are looked just seemed to be like an old version of Call of Duty.

Sound - 8

The sound works very well.  The favorite thing about this game is the music playing while you are playing the game.  It just sounds so serious.  The sound effects are kind of childish, but it still relates to the game.

Addictiveness - 7

The game can be addicting.  I really liked playing this game, so I would play it some of the time.  It is popular, so you would expect it to be a very fun game.

Story - N/A

There is no story in this game (I am aware of).  It is a first person shooting game and the quality is a bit okay and you pretty much shoot enemies, get items, and get to the end of the game.  Very fun once you start playing it and get used to it.

Depth - 8

The game has a lot of features.  Like I said, Doom is a first person shooting game, so you would be shooting and getting items.  Another thing is that your gun is in the middle of the screen.  I have never seen that in any game before, till I found this game out.  There are plenty of levels to play on and they are just great.

Difficulty - 5

The game is not that hard.  The enemies are pretty much easy to beat.  The game gets more harder, but even more fun because you get to use different weapons and more enemies that people seem to enjoy seeing and doing.  There may be a few issues on where to go in some of the levels, but other than that, it is a simple and easy game to play.

Wrap Things Up...

Doom is a very good game to play.  I highly recommend trying this game out if you have not already.  It is what a lot of people seem to enjoy nowadays.  It is not one of my favorite kind of genres of all time, but it still is a pretty good game. :)

The Union Aerospace Corporation has been experimenting with teleportation technology on Mars' moons Phobos and Deimos. After early successes, something goes wrong. It seems the scientists have opened a gateway straight to Hell. Phobos base is overrun with demonic creatures, and the whole of Deimos simply vanishes. A squad of marines is sent to Phobos, but all except one are quickly slaughtered. It falls to the surviving marine to grab some guns and strike back at the demons.

id Software's follow-up to their genre-defining Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM is another first person shooter: full-on action seen from the space marine's perspective. Like Wolfenstein, the game consists of distinct episodes, playable in any order. The first episode, Knee-Deep in the Dead, takes place in the Phobos base and is freely available as shareware. The full game continues on Deimos in The Shores of Hell and culminates in Inferno, the final episode which takes place in Hell itself. Each episode consists of nine levels, one of which is a hidden level.

The basic objective in each level is simply to reach the exit. Since dozens of enemies stand in the way, the only way to get there is through killing them. Switches and buttons must be pressed to advance at certain points and often color-coded locked doors will block the way - matching keycards or skull keys must be found to pass.

DOOM's engine technology is more advanced than Wolfenstein's, and thus the levels are more varied and complex. The engine simulates different heights (stairs and lifts appear frequently) and different lighting conditions (some rooms are pitch black, others only barely illuminated). There are outdoor areas, pools of radioactive waste that hurt the player, ceilings that come down and crush him, and unlike Wolfenstein's orthogonally aligned corridors, the walls in DOOM can be in any angle to each other. An automap helps in navigating the levels.

Stylistically, the levels begin with a futuristic theme in the military base on Phobos and gradually change to a hellish environment, complete with satanic symbols (pentagrams, upside-down-crosses and portraits of horned demons), hung-up mutilated corpses and the distorted faces of the damned.

DOOM features a large weapon arsenal, with most weapons having both advantages and drawbacks. The starting weapons are the fists and a simple pistol. Also available are a shotgun (high damage, slow reload, not good at distances), a chaingun (high firing rate, but slightly inaccurate in longer bursts) and a plasma rifle (combining a high firing rate and large damage). The rocket launcher also deals out lots of damage, but the explosion causes blast damage and must be used with care in confined areas or it might prove deadly to the player as well as the enemies. Two further (in)famous weapons in DOOM are the chainsaw for close-quarter carnage, and the BFG9000 energy gun, that, while taking some practice to fire correctly, can destroy most enemies in a single burst. The different weapons use four different ammunition types (bullets, shells, rockets and energy cells), so collecting the right type for a certain gun is important.

DOOM drops some of Wolfenstein's arcade-inspired aspects, so there are no extra lives or treasures to be collected for points, but many other powerups are still available. Medpacks heal damage while armor protects from receiving it in the first place. Backpacks allow more ammunition to be carried, a computer map reveals the whole layout of the level on the automap (including any secret areas), light amplification visors illuminate dark areas and radiation suits allow travel over waste without taking damage. Also available are berserk packs (which radically increase the damage inflicted by the fists) as well as short-time invisibility and invulnerability powerups.

The enemies to be destroyed include former humans corrupted during the invasion, plus demons in all shapes and sizes: fireball-throwing imps, floating skulls, pink-skinned demons with powerful bite attacks and large one-eyed flying monstrosities called Cacodemons. Each episode ends with a boss battle against one or two especially powerful creatures.

DOOM popularized multiplayer in the genre with two different modes: Cooperative allows up to four players to move through the single-player game together, while Deathmatch is a competitive game type where players blast at each other to collect 'frag' points for a kill and re-spawn in a random location after being killed.
