DOOM 2 GBA mgharper94
It's that time where the first game in the series becomes so successful that there has to be a sequel to the franchise. This is the case for the first DOOM for PC which made a sequel called DOOM 2 which was also ported to GBA. Is this version truly a good version to the PC classic, or is it just one of those types of versions that give a poor reboot? Let's find out shall we.
GRAPHICS: The graphics are pretty good overall, there has been an improvement to the looks of the levels and weapons compared to the first game. Though the monsters look a bit painted or blurred, this is only to smooth things out rather than being too pixelated. Overall a good job on detail except for the blood, the blood was sadly,
replaced from red to green.
SOUND: The sound in the game as far as I know has everything. The shotgun still has its shotgunie sounds and the pistol still has its pew pew sounds from the PC version. Like I said in the first DOOM review, there could be some sounds missing I'm not quite sure
.
ADDICTIVENESS: Now just like the first DOOM, who doesn't like going back over and shoot things over again along with finding the secrets they missed along the way? Yep, all the secrets and weapons from the PC classic is all here too, from the super shotgun (double barrel), to the BFG 9000, and from those secrets in the very start of the game, to all those that have some hidden items and weapons.
STORY: As far as I know, there isn't a story mentioned in this version as well, basically the title says it all.
DEPTH: Now as far as this game has to offer, this game has a lot of secrets and weapons for you to find and get as well as a lot of levels to go through to get them. Not sure if this version's missing any stages as I've never got that far in this version. Pretty cool stuff in this version though, maybe even the option to play 2 player mode with a link cable (physical copy).
DIFFICULTY: Now just like the first DOOM, the game plays differently depending on what difficult you pick, as far as NIGHTMARE goes, there can be times where you just wanna throw your GBA to a blasted wall due to a certain level giving you such a hard time because you keep dying a whole bunch of times due to a certain monster blasting shots or rockets at you and you just wANNA FREAKIN'....um I shouldn't really be getting carried away.
That concludes this review on yet another GBA game, overall this is a good port to the PC sequel. Not sure what the changes could be if I could think of any, this could be one of the games I recommend bringing with you wherever you go (except underwater!) to keep you occupied for a while with its secrets and tons of levels, this is sure to keep a FPS fan coming back to blast them monsters away. Until next review, happy gaming everyone! -mgharper94
