    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!

    It's certainly not pretty, especially when you compare it the effort that followed i.e Doom 2 from the likes of Torus Games.

    This isn't Doom, at least not fully, but it's also not a miserable package either. It made it to the platform and it's a doomslaying good time, there are even 8 exclusive deathmatch maps. Visually it's a turgent facsimile but you can see the likeness nonetheless    It's certainly not pretty, especially when you compare it the effort that followed i.e Doom 2 from the likes of Torus Games.

    This isn't Doom, at least not fully, but it's also not a miserable package either. It made it to the platform and it's a doomslaying good time, there are even 8 exclusive deathmatch maps. Visually it's a turgent facsimile but you can see the likeness nonetheless - an admirable feat but.. bosses are missing, textures are replaced numerously, original level design is compromised and the music is pretty rough.

    If you still see value in a recommendation, and if you are looking for Doom then unless you're aiming to reap a physical collection I'd warn you that whilst this port was remarkable for it's time it's far surpassed by the port of it's sequel Doom 2.    … Expand

    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.

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

    Players who have already exhausted the experience have no reason to buy it again unless they are extremely eager to see it flourish on a handheld.
