After playing the MP for a while, it is very fun, it feels like quake3, with demon runes which makes the mp stand out from other arena shooters. This game is a 10 for me - bravo id!! My only complaint is no ffa deathmatch mode! Expand

    From the moment you're thrown into the arena style combat, you KNOW you're playing DOOM. They've managed to create environments that are visually stunning, yet extremely practical and useful. You'll scale stories only to by overwhelmed by demons from every direction. The demons range from slow and weak to agile and deadly.

    The multiplayer is superb as well. Plenty of game modes that will undoubtedly find an audience. The best part is becoming the same monstrosities in multiplayer that you set out to destroy in the campaign! Very polished, fast-paced multiplayer. Not for the faint of heart. ARENA.

    The graphics and sound are both off the charts. id tech 6 is visually stunning, competing only with the new Unreal Engine 4. The soundtrack is unbelievable, going from creepy atmospheric tones to metal depending on the action. Best sound and graphics I've seen in a game to date.

    Replay value is high due to the numerous ways you can customize your Doom Guy. The game also offers several difficulty levels, the highest (one death and it's over) being locked until you've completed nightmare.

    Overall it's one hell of a ride that's sure to keep you busy for months on end. Would Doom again 10/10

In contrast to Eternal, this one feels more like a sandbox while Eternal feels like Super Mario and Guitar Hero. I'm joking, but seriously: Eternal is forcing you to play in the way you are supposed to play by making demons bullet sponges unless you tackle them in specific ways. Doom 2016 just gives you awesome guns and lets you play any way you like. No other game inflates your ego as well as this one but if you want you can turn the difficulty up and it becomes a real challenge. Expand

    Pros
    Glory kills feel smooth
    the game feels very open
    Lots of guns mean lots of fun
    Monsters are visually well designed and pay homage to the originals
    Monsters have different priorities based on your play style
    The weapon mods mean that your play style can change on the fly, and change the priority of monsters all together.
    Monsters are hard to kill
    Level design varies enough to not make the game repetitive
    Power-ups are amazingly fun

    Cons
    No spider demons
    Revenants don't resurrect the dead demons but summon instead (probably a tech limit but still)
    Cyber-Demon was a boss, This saddened me I would have loved to see them in normal game play
    Rune challenges while fun, kill immersion
    BFG is a special weapon like the chainsaw but has no real reason to be.
    The chain-gun feels underpowered compared to the heavy machine gun
    The health kits and armour pick-ups look really out of place in single player
    Secrets aren't very exciting at end game

    I've gotta say, Doom has to be the absolute best all-around shooter I've played this decade. The campaign forgoes long-winded cutscenes and sci-fi drama for raw, no-nonsense, fast-paced and relentless gameplay. And the MUSIC.

The campaign forgoes long-winded cutscenes and sci-fi drama for raw, no-nonsense, fast-paced and relentless gameplay. And the MUSIC. One thing I've come to realize while playing Doom is that most games have music that reinforces gameplay and keeps it upbeat. That's great and all, but in Doom, the music IS the gameplay. Deep nine-string guitar chords furiously bellow out between sickeningly satisfying squelches as you rip and tear the flesh and bones of Hell's armies. Wear headphones, turn the volume to max, and set the difficulty setting to Ultra-Violence (or Nightmare if you're a masochist). It's an adrenaline rush of an experience like no other.

    The campaign alone is well worth the purchase price and then some, but in addition to the campaign, Doom includes Snapmap and competitive multiplayer modes. Snapmap is a surprisingly easy-to-use level creator capable of creating entire in-depth levels and unique enemy encounters, allowing cooperative and competitive four-player community-created experiences. It's really quite impressive, and there are already several thinking-outside-the-box modes such as a farming simulator and tower defense mode. The possibilities are truly limitless, and to make it better, it's being constantly updated with further creation tools.

    The multiplayer mode will either be a total disappointment or a pleasant surprise depending on what you were looking for. It uses a loadout and level up/prestige system, demolishing its potential for a classic arena shooter experience, but the gameplay is still just as solid, responsive, and polished as the single player campaign. That said, the vortex rifle paired with a shotgun is kind of the ultimate loadout, at least at the moment, due to both weapons being reliable high-hitting damage dealers. Overall, give multiplayer a shot and see if you like it. If not, you still have a solid campaign and map creator to sate your demonic bloodlust.

That way the game forces you to get stuck in makes it feel so fresh and the graphics and sound are top class. This is a true triple A game. The weapons and upgrade system is really well implemented and gives you so much choice and the weapons all fell really meaty.

    Doom 2016 understands the most important thing about videogames: fun. And what does it do that makes it so fun to play?: GAMEPLAY. The controls on this game are PERFECT. They respond so precisely, so quick, they feel so natural. Doom 2016 does not care about the modern standarization of FPS's, there is no such thing as a regenerating health: if you want to recover HP, you need to find medipacks spread across the map, or man up and defeat your enemies for a health drop. Cornering away and shooting enemies from afar will not get you far in this game, specially on the later stages, where the amount of enemies on screen is RIDICULOUS, and not a single frame drop on my whole playthrough.

    Also, the chainsaw: an insta kill (on limited amounts, of course) to any enemy. When cut in half with the chainsaw, enemies drop ammunition, so your carnage of lead and bullets continues, this balance between insane amounts of action and shooting never stops, and even if you run out of ammo, with a simple cut of the chainsaw the action goes on, giving this shooter an unstopable pace, no moment feels dull or boring, its action from beggining to end, not even the story makes a halt to the fun experience: as it almost non existant: the plot may very well be resumed like this: the gates of hell are open, demons sprawl on mars, go ahead and kill them all. That's it: there's almost nothing to spoil, nothing to tell, and it feels so refreshing.

    I just cant stress enough how good and fun of a shoter Doom 2016 is, and if you're fan of the FPS genre, you own yourself to play this.

    Of all the shooter based games I played this year (Battlefield 1, The Division, Uncharted 4, Titanfall 2, Bioshock The Collection), DOOM blows them all out of the water with a BFG!!

    I started out not really liking it though cos I wasnt used to the Glory Kill and ammo/life/armor pickup system of old. So used to health regen that I forgot my 90s roots! Also, I kinda rushed from mission 1-5 at first and that made the game felt easy and pointless.

    My opinion and experience changed however when it slowly grew on me and I did a new playthrough, but this time paying close attention to everything the game has to offer.

    If u want the best Doom 2016 experience, TAKE YOUR TIME (ironically since it's so fast paced), and EXPLORE. The mission challenges, weapon upgrade challenges, rune upgrade challenges improves the gunplay to PERFECTION.

    Those optional mechanics made me feel the huge variety of gameplay and gunplay Doom has on offer, and it isnt just a game of point and shoot. The challenges made me vary my playstyle and using every single gun, not just shotgunning my way through. This resulted in the most fun i've had in an FPS since Destiny.

    Second thing I loved about Doom is the Secrets. I had fun hunting down every single mission collectible and secret locations. Its also rewarding as it gives u early access to powerful guns, much needed ammo/armor, extra lore, classic playable Doom maps and fun mini collectibles. Very satisfying and rewarding.

    Bosses are super cool, I had an amazing time beating them at "Hurt Me Plenty" difficulty. I cant imagine going thru all that in Ultimate nightmare. Insane!

    All in all, Doom 2016 delivered an experience so visceral, fun, simple yet engaging, that this has to be my shooter of the year for 2016.

    Destiny still ranks as top dog in my list, but wow is Doom a close second.

    Absolutely fantastic game that stands as an example of how to do reboots right. It captures the spirit and feel of original Doom perfectly.

    The gameplay is the most important part of this game and it flies. This game is one of the least tiring titles I've played for years. There's almost no story - just go and kill some demons in the most glorious way you can. There's some explanation to Doomguys motives and story later on but it is unobtrusive. You just want to play it, you don't have to force yourself.

    Weapons are very satisfying except for pistol. You couldn't have come up with a **** pistol in a shooter even if you researched the subject and worked on it for years. Fortunately, you get shotgun after 10 first demons and never come back to pistol ever again.

    Glory kills are fast and unobtrusive gorefests you'd expect. They look stunning but after a while are a tad repetitive which is really non-issue. You can disable them altogether in settings (or just disable the color marking on demon). You can also configure the game to display weapon model in the middle of screen just like in original Doom (really cool).

    Soundtrack is just stunning. You should really check it out yourself on Spotify or YT. Mick Gordon has done amazing job. The music is not background to the gameplay but is rather forefront and drives the gameplay. He's also a cool guy, you might want to see a review with him on Doom on YT.

    Visuals are also very good. The rendering engine reminds me of Alien Isolation which I have praised for amazing materials work. Same applies here but is extended to amazing metallic and wet material effects. This is all thanks to PBR. However what is the most amazing about the graphics in Doom, is that despite it being one of the best looking games on PS4, it maintains 60FPS in Singleplayer almost constantly. I have experienced maybe 2-3 FPS drops throughout the campaign.

    The game is also full of secrets like Doomguy toys (which unlock weapon/enemy models in a gallery in main menu) and hidden classic Doom levels. Finding them is plenty fun but the joy is a little diminished once you find the map of the level. Secret areas are shown on the map so it's easy to find them. Some secrets are behind doors which need to be opened with a lever - the lever is not shown on the map though and is usually really well hidden.

    There are also many mods for your weapons. 1/3 of them I considered **** (scope in a machine gun? this is Doom!) but the rest is really useful and fun. You unlock them by finding bots throughout UAC complex. You can also enhance your own skills with Demonic Runes. These have to be unlocked by doing certain challenges on seperate maps (kill X enemies with Y in Z seconds and many more).

    Overall I enjoyed this game a lot more than I expected. It would be 9.5 if it was possible due to the minor gripes I mentioned. I absolutely recommend this game to all Doom and FPS fans.

While the gore, lack of an intriguing story and First-person action may not suit well with some people. The point is that Doom is an insane, fast-paced, traditional FPS that does exactly what it should, and people who love FPS games (like me) will absolutely adore this game.

    It has been a loooooooooooong time since i played a game that gives you a good adrenaline rush and this much fun content..

    This is the best single player to have come out since half life 2...

    And the multiplayer is also very action paced..

    Man is this game good. It has the right amount of difficulty and just the right amount of mindless shooting to keep me coming back for more. This game is exactly what I expected it would be, and that is amazing. Dying in this game is fun, because then you can map out a new strategy to take on the demons, exactly the way I felt when I was playing the first 2 games.

    IGN fails again.

    I think this rating system is deeply flawed and anyone trusting numbers on a game for purchase are extremely foolish. Buy it, play it... and enjoy it. It's a fun game without any emotional "strings" attached. Lots of blood, guts and general adrenaline to behold.

    Have fun with your entertainment as it was intended, and don't quibble over stupid ****

    The new Doom has a lot of legacy to live up to. My two first hours of the game were checking if everything was in place.
    The gameplay feels amazing, it the old 90's power trip were you get to discharge all of your adrenaline by shooting monsters with awesome weapons. There are plenty of secrets and Easter eggs and massive maps to explore. The graphics are breathtaking, and immersive.

    Introduction
    I'm starting to love this trend of classic first-person shooters getting a brand new, yet faithful revival. Wolfenstein: The New Order and now this beast! That's honestly an understatement for this game, though. Doom is the kind of game you wouldn't expect to come out today. The game isn't perfect by any means, but I can see it having an impact on the gaming industry for awhile. Let's get into why that is.

    Campaign
    Doom's campaign is very much Doom. It's a first-person shooter with a fast, frantic pace and gore all over the place. All the guns feel great and are a joy to destructively blow through demons as deadly as you can. The main combat in the game takes place in usually large arenas. Like Uncharted 4's shootouts, they're dynamic, challenging, and totally fun. You can also perform amazingly satisfying "Glory kills" after getting the demons' health down to a certain point. They act like executions, but I would definitely call them an essential part of the gameplay since they also drop much-needed health benefits. The more you play, the more they fit into the game. Once you get used to their nature, they don't slow the game down one bit. Doom also has some great elements of exploration implemented throughout its campaign. There's secret collectibles, rooms, classic Doom maps,weapon mods, and bonuses for your character. Yes, I did just mention bonuses for your character. There is a progression system in this game, and I really liked it. You can upgrade your weapons, the Praetor suit's unique abilities, and basic health and ammo attributes. I have to bring up the story of the game, too. It knows that it doesn't have to be a big part of the game itself, which is very good. However, it still acknowledges that it needs to be there somewhat to give a little bit of context for all the demon-slaying. You're obviously not playing this game for the story - but it is there. I will admit - it took me a little while to get into Doom's campaign. It starts off slow and doesn't throw much variety at you near the beginning. Once more enemy types and weapons come into play, though, it becomes a ferociously fun experience. In fact, the last third (maybe even more than that portion) is some of the best and most fun action I've ever played in a first-person shooter - maybe even gaming in general! Needless to say, the best part about Doom is its campaign, but the other modes included are also very good and add a good amount of content and replayability.

    Multiplayer
    Doom's multiplayer is, in a way, a totally different beast. In other ways, it's similar to other regular multiplayer shooters - which isn't always a bad thing. If I had to name other games' elements that are included here, I'd say it's similar to Halo 5, Call of Duty, and Quake. It's pretty fast-paced. I'm also glad to report it's fairly skill-based. It rewards accuracy and correct weapon-usage. However, there is one part of the multiplayer that turns against that skill-based characteristic. That would be the demon runes. They are, without a doubt, my least favorite part of this mode. They're overpowered, take no skill, and just overall mess up the enjoyable flow of the matches. The game also has a number of great multiplayer modes, including one particularly fun and unique one called Freeze Tag (it's exactly what it sounds like!). I've been having a lot of fun with the multiplayer, and I see myself playing it for a long time.

    SnapMap
    SnapMap is my least favorite mode in this game. I appreciate that it's there - greatly, in fact - but there just wasn't much done with it. SnapMap is where you can create your own special maps and play others people have created. It works with both single player and competitive maps. I am not a creator in these modes by any means, so I really didn't care to make anything. So to make this mode worth my while, I obviously have to play other people's maps. It's not that the maps I've played are bad, they just aren't that interesting. The tools for creation here just aren't as robust in something like, say, LittleBigPlanet. From what I experienced in this mode, the maps I played just feel like filler.

    Final Words
    I think every gamer should give Doom a shot. It's an amazingly fun, unique, and rewarding experience throughout. The game is obviously worth it mainly for its campaign, but the multiplayer will also satisfy the competitive gaming side of everyone.

    I'm only able to testify to the quality of the single-player campaign at the moment - but it's absolutely incredible. DOOM is back. As a love letter to the original series, it's perfect.

DOOM is back. As a love letter to the original series, it's perfect. Combat is fast and frenetic, with a heavily emphasis on mobility and item resourcefulness. There is no regenerating health and no hiding behind cover, but you have access to a full weapon wheel as compensation. It's all complemented by excellent level design which inspires a ton of exploration on the part of the player, and there's a lot to find in exploring (new weapons, upgrade tokens, and collectibles). On top of all of that, each level is accompanied by unique challenges and even time trials, with rewards for completing each. These rewards, along with most of the game's collectible secrets, go towards customizing the way you play (ex:// speeding up gameplay or providing you with more resources), and the way you upgrade your character actually matters; there are upsides and downsides to specializing along a certain path. What you end up with is a highly replayable campaign.
    What really sets DOOM apart from other shooters on the market is this: it's all about the shooting. The atmosphere is stellar, but never becomes intrusive thanks to a lack of the in-your-face, dramatic bravado that plagues the majority of modern shooters. The story is good for what it is, and what it should be - it provides an interesting enough justification for the chaos (just don't expect the narrative complexity of, say, The Last of Us). Ultimately, the game's tone is incredibly consistent. It wants you to have fun and revel in the ultraviolence, and that's what the original DOOM wanted for us back in 1993. Whether you're new to the series or a veteran like myself, the game has a ton to offer.

    Fantastic, a masterpiece. This is EXACTLY what people had been crying out for. It goes back to the roots of Doom 1 and 2, and leaves the Doom 3 scary stuff at the door (for the most part).

    Visually it's the best thing I've seen on my PS4, and gameplay wise it's a whole load of fun. It's EXTREMELY fast paced - much more so than the initial videos had led on, it's actually really difficult too - I'm playing on the medium difficulty level and I'm getting my ass handed to me regularly. I often find myself and 1-5 health and then have to find some health or complete a glory kill to stay in the game.

    On the subject of glory kills, I have no issue with them what-so-ever. Despite the fact you can turn them off, I enjoy the fact they bring a seconds breather to the insane action that is going on around me. This is 2016 - games need to evolve and Doom is doing it brilliantly.

    The gameplay is a mix of exploration (quite linear but a tonne of secrets), corridors / large open spaces you need to traverse parkour style, and then big epic arenas which really test what you're made of. It's exactly what I wanted and finds a perfect mix of arena action and normal FPS - people complaining clearly can never be pleased in my opinion.

    The single player is well paced, the weapons are insane, as are the audio and visuals. And then, after all of that, you also have a real fun arena style multiplayer. People who didn't like the multiplayer clearly had the wrong idea of what Doom multiplayer should be. Awwww you don't regenerate? Poor COD fanboy! Remember, collect health and collect Armour - that's how you survive!

    I have had a play with Snapmap too - it seems super powerful. You can build offline if you want to, and the tutorials are well thought out and a good way to get into what appears to be complex level creation. It's early days for Snapchat - I'm sure they'll be adding more content in the weeks to come. I for one would love to see the ability to create "open" environments set in Hell and Mars - I suspect this will come but at the moment you can't. The logic system however is pretty powerful and you can basically customize LOADS. It's going to take me weeks to get properly to grips with the tool - but I'm excited to see what the community creates.

    I really would ignore the haters, those voting 0/1 and claiming it's "Not fast enough". They clearly don't have the game. It's epic fast! Top stuff. I'd be surprised if the critic review score didn't average at over 9.

And thank God, the story is of secondary importance, and that's how it should be. After all, we are talking about DOOM and not an interactive movie (how many games are built nowadays). DOOM has been built with a lot of passion and it shows from the very first second. The soundtrack is awesome! A mix of rock, metal and industrial sounds. Pure perfection. Really hard and dark. There is no other soundtrack that would fit better. So many details and thoughtful secrets. 100% replay value! I for one would like to find all the "secret areas", because this is another reason why I find DOOM great. These "secret areas" are from the very first DOOM levels of 1993 (including original textures). Pure nostalgia! Just what you need before you pop back into the DOOM of 2016 and give 'em demons hell!

    Pros: Fast, challenging, gorgeous, and laser-focused on what works. Tough combat is satisfying to master. Story is minimal in favor of "Kill demons and shut up", which is absolutely what this style of game needs. Collectables and secrets are abundant if you're into that. Smartly, though, game-altering pick-ups like upgrades to your suit and weapons are easy to find, so it doesn't punish gameplay if you don't feel like collecting. Framerate is buttery-smooth throughout, which is particularly impressive for such beautifully done levels that are also very, very fast. SnapMap is smart and totally unnecessary, but brilliant. Multiplayer is also unnecessary, but fun, although not the main attraction here. The campaign is the star.

    Cons: A little too much backtracking for my tastes. Levels are perhaps a little too big.

    Buy it! It was a little intense for me, but playing it a level at a time per session got me through it eventually.

You are a killing machine and the only thing between you and the end of the game is a billion little demons just waiting to be turned into a fine red mist or a lovely red goo.

    Every area is a new playground of murder. Every zone is another chance to go head to head with some of the biggest, baddest demons around, rip their eyes out of their heads, and shove them down their throats. It's over the the top Glory Kills REALLY drive the "feel" of the game home. The faster you kill, the more recklessly you play, the more your rewarded, not just with showers of health (and later armor), but also in spectacular death animations that just don't get old.

    All this and it's FULL of well hidden and fun to find secrets, an intuitive yet interesting weapon/armor upgrade system, remade retro levels to find and murder your way through, and one of the most well optimized, bug free experiences I've had from an AAA title maybe ever.

    This game is worth every penny for the campaign mode alone, and then there's the SnapMap feature which I hear is already turning out some quality content. And multiplayer, if that's your thing (it's not mine...but I don't mind at all cause the single player is so good).

    So if your idea of a great time is crouching behind waist-high walls and waiting for health to regen while the enemy ineffectually attempts to shoot you from long range, look elsewhere. But if your idea of a good time is wandering into the wrong part of Hell and tearing every single resident apart with your bare hands till you're wading in the gore, than yeah, buy this game now.

    This game is a truly legendary game a 10/10 and a must buy for anyone.

    This is one of my favorite games of this generation including RE7. The combat is addictive, fast and furious, and is a nice contrast to shooters like COD. This game has tremendous replay value with modern RPG systems like upgrades for weapons and armor. The level design is perfect and the atmosphere reminds me of Dead Space. The secrets, runes, and challenges, also kept me coming back.This is one of my favorite games of this generation including RE7.

    This is the reboot I have been waiting for! I'll admit I was excited for this release for sometime and actually preordered well in advance.

I'll admit I was excited for this release for sometime and actually preordered well in advance. Then as time went on and negative reviews were pouring out from the beta review's and hands on copies, I was more then a little nervous and almost considered canceling my preorder. Well I'm glad I didn't as this is "Classic Doom" with all the bells and whistles that we are now accustomed to and even more. The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is extremely fast and it runs without a hitch on the PS4. The guns are powerful and sound amazing, all the classics are present and a bunch of new ones to boot with mixed results but mostly satisfying. The monsters and demons look great and have allot of detail; they are usually easy fodder but can sneak up on you and in some instances will provide a challenge with above average AI. Of course there are still traps present like in previous renditions and lots of Easter eggs to find. You will also find upgrades lying around throughout the map for your armor and guns. Speaking of the map that is one area that is lacking to say the least, It isn't the most user friendly and the blue and gray coloring can be hard to read. So honestly the only thing in the game that will slow you down is the map, I spent almost 2 minutes the first time I tried to figure out where I was trying to get to. I'm not going to speak on the multiplayer experience as I haven't gotten to it yet but honestly the main attraction here is the Campaign and always has been with Doom. So if you have been waiting to sink your teeth into another great Doom this is the one for you as ID has knocked this one out of the park. Expand

    DOOM delivers! For me in all aspects. You´ll get pretty much what you can expect of a game called DOOM.
    And it is working. No major bucks, no server/MP problems everything works just fine!
    KEEP IN MIND: There are other games with way better ratings and much more trouble even after a day one patch which DOOM didn´t even needed!!!. It got everything what a good game needs to have and on

    It got everything what a good game needs to have and on top it stays authentic to the franchise. All the critics you´ll find about this game, for me every single one of them is a plus (loadouts, glory kills etc.).
    Multiplayer is ultra fun to play! There is just this amaizing amount of good decisions (Get all weapons very early through the MP/ No set back after Echelon). The game is full with plenty of these smart decisions imo and what looks first as a simple brainless shooter is very well thought through when you look close.

After playing through the campaign and putting some time into the multiplayer and Snap Map features, I have to say I am thoroughly impressed. Bethesda and id stayed true to the nature of the past DOOM's with the chaotic and adrenaline pumping action. This game has a huge replay value. I will be putting many more hours into this game.

    The multiplayer is not the greatest. It is very comparable to halo in the mechanics of movement and shooting. There are some unique aspects brought in with the hack mods that give you an edge at times. It is fun to play but it isn't hard to tell that the main reason to play this game is the campaign. I usually play multiplayer or snap map when I want to take a break from the campaign.

    Snap map is fantastic. I would compare this to halo's forge, though this is much more universal and user friendly. There are MANY different game modes, not all include combat. Some are puzzles, music makers, parkour, races. There are also the co-op matchmaking survival maps. This part of the game has some serious potential.

    If you enjoy intense, chaotic, adrenaline pumping games with gore and some SERIOUSLY BAD ASS melee kills, you will love this game. Do yourself a favor and buy it.

    I've been anticipating this game for years, since I'm a huge Doom fan. The results were not disappointing. Could it have been better and have the potential to be the perfect Doom game? Perhaps...

    The multiplayer was great, but the loadouts limited itself from becoming an incredible arena multiplayer game, (since everyone is now sick of CoD). I love the fact that you can use the demons in multiplayer. It makes the multiplayer a lot more intense and unique, but just like everyone else who complained about the beta, the demons are overpowered. Here is an example: The Revenant is actually fair to fight if your out in an open area, but if your running through a hallway and it pops out of nowhere and takes one shot at you.. you're dead. How is that even remotely fair? But as I said before, for the long run, multiplayer great. It still feels like a classic arena shooter with new perks added. It's brutal, fast, and fun!

    The campaign was beyond amazing! The game play honestly exceeded my expectations, it's so much fun! Now Doom (for the most part) is all about metal music and fast pace action with blood and gore flying in the air. The game does an amazing job delivering that, but it's also about being terrifying, and the game doesn't deliver that. The original game was fast pace and intense, but was also terrifying and disturbing. The new Doom isn't scary at all, but I'd rather have all out intense action over survival horror (we're looking at you Doom 3). That's honestly my only complaint with the campaign, I'm extremely satisfied with it. It feels like the original Doom, and yet feels like a FPS that no one has ever played before.

    Snap map is a great perk added to the game, but it wasn't as good as Id software said it was. It's very easy to use and you can customize the logic of the game, which I absolutely love about it! Only real complaint is that all the map structures are only UAC based, not hell and mars based. Wish you would've been able to create geographical features for the mars surface and would have hell themed structures. (It's kind of unfair that I'm criticizing this, since I've only created one map and there are like only two games that actually have this feature. But I felt like I had to throw in my two cents into this.)

    Here's the summery of the review

    Pros +
    Fast-pace and brutal game play
    Glory kills are the cherry on top of the fantastic game play
    Enemies look awesome and fight brutally
    Boss fights are surprisingly great
    No cut scene bull crap, and yet tells a really neat story
    Mission secrets
    Beautiful graphics
    UAC and Hell textures look classic and goregeous
    Multiplayer game play is an arena shooter throw back
    Multiplayer modes are fun and unique
    Multiplayer Demons are fun to play as
    Awesome slection of weapons for campaign and multiplayer
    Snapmap is very easy to use
    Change logics in Snapmap
    Huge catalog of options in Snapmap

    Cons -
    Multiplayer loadouts
    Demons are overpowered in multiplayer
    Not as scary as previous Doom games
    Soundtrack sounds more electronic than metal
    No geometric editing in Snapmap
    No hell themed structures in Snapmap

    I know it sounds like I'm hating on a lot of things in this game, but I'm not at all, I'm just picking out every single flaw I found in the game to show you guys what you possibly wouldn't like about the game. The game is absolutely amazing! It's the game I've always wanted, the Doom I've always wanted! If you're a Doom fan, this is a must-buy. If you want to try out a new, and very different kind of game, highly recommend this. If you're sick of all the CoD games, please get this!

    SnapMap is very interesting where you can create your own maps and game modes to enhance you DOOM experience while sharing your work to others and playing it with your friends or load up someone's else masterpiece to have a go at it.

    DOOM is a must buy and is a great example of how far we've been. (You can play the original DOOM maps with pixels in its nostalgic glory!)

    The multi-player is equally great. Hardcore COD fans beware though; this an arena shooter (as opposed to popcorn shooters, one hit kills) but those of us who remember/ enjoyed arena shooters of back in the day (eg: Unreal Tournament and Quake) then you'll have an absolute blast! As someone who played the Beta - the first round or two really didn't sell me but after a few more matches I was hooked - something about the speed mixed with the varied mechanics: shield pick ups, becoming a demon, the original guns ect. - all just came together to form a shooter that's just simple, uncomplicated fun. There's not a lot of gun modifications, different attachments, unlockables ect. (eg. COD/Battlefield) but sometimes there doesn't have to be. Which is ultimately why this shines - it's simple, fast and fun - straight up. Just like the games which gamers have come to know, love and hold dear in our hearts from the 90's. And that's exactly what this Doom gives you.

    So, what are you waiting for?! Grab this, NOW! Suit up, shot gun in hand and have a blast! (pun intended)
