  1. For either a first time fragger or a battle hardened veteran, Doom is simply superb. [GamesMaster]

    You’ll have fun, and you’ll get a portable taste of gaming history that will remind you of why we’re doing all this fiddling around with these plastic doohickeys in the first place.

    It rocks. Grab three friends (who aren't very good at FPS games), link up, and blow them away. [Spring 2002, p.32]
  4. 80
    Though switching weapons with the directional pad and both shoulder buttons takes a little time to get the hang of, the control scheme is tight and simple.
  5. All in all Doom is a fantastic port to the GBA, some things are missing, some things are toned down, but that same raw gameplay that changed the way we thought eight years ago has come across wonderfully.
  6. Game Informer
    75
    Even with a handful of miniscule changes, Doom remains immensely entertaining. [Dec 2001, p.118]
  7. The 1993 PC original might look blocky by 2001 standards, but the GBA version fares worse, with intensely pixilated visuals that detract from an otherwise admirable port of the classic first-person shooter.

    Doom is great but it has to be more like a first person shooter and more like dead space

    It's the same doom as always except now it's on a GBA. The game controls really well and the graphics are also pretty decent.

    Doom is the seventh best FPS for the GBA and the second released for the system. Doom was first released for the PC back in 1993. The game Doom is the seventh best FPS for the GBA and the second released for the system. Doom was first released for the PC back in 1993. The game was awesome. Eight years later the game is now portable. And yes, it is still awesome. Everything from the original is here except for some minor elements that don't detract from anything. Doom is back, back with a vengeance! Expand
