DOOM
I know the game has been out and I haven't posted shit for a while. Well Doom is exceptional and deems a short but sweet review. Enjoy.
Finally Doom hits next Gens and PC. On my Birthday no less! Doom at its core is a simple adventure were you find door keys and discover the secrets behind this research base on Mars. Oh and along the way you wreck everything! There isn't a single moment where I was blood thirsty through out the roughly ten hour campaign.
You start on a medical table about to be prodded by demons. Well we cant have that. With a Undertaker like sit up and a quick face smash you have a pistol and you're on your way to dispatch hundreds of angry demons. (are there happy demons?) This pretty much sums up the beginning. Which in all honestly is the only part of the game I was left unfulfilled with. No real back story or cut scene or animated or any sort of intro! Just wake up and murder! Which I normally wouldn't bitch about but its fucking DOOM!
With that said anyone who has every played the original knows that the base concept is get the key card, murder, repeat. They have added a upgrade system to the weapons as well as your suit. Its pretty linear, but, being able to turn my machine gun into a rocket propelled grenade launcher is pretty cool.
The game to me at least feels like its been treated finally with the respect games like Halo have been. Its big, brutish, and flashy. Which is a good thing. Doom 3 was a good game, but it didn't give the rush like DOOM does. Its fast paced and brutal. The melee take downs are gory and great. Ammo is picked up either on drop or using your trusty chainsaw and spew ammo from any enemy. The BGF obviously makes an appearance and is really handy late in the game.
The multiplayer is basic but enjoyable. If you have ever played Quake 3 Arena welcome home. I said it would be short and sweet. If you're looking for the violent angry doom of old you cant go wrong stepping into hell again.
