    Played this game when it came with Doom 3. Very challenging and rewarding game just like the first one.

    As the original Doom it is dated but still awesome a new weapon from Doom and all the classic weapons as well co-op and multiplayer with split-screen and xbox live and a brand new episode Doom II:No Rest For The Living which is fun but not as fun as the original game but still good and achievements as well. All for only 400 MSP

    These days Doom ][ would be considered more of a DLC/expansion pack product than a standalone sequel so it's hard to review it in a vacuum. There's a new shotgun, a slew of formidable additional enemies and some new textures and sprites but it's fundamentally the same game --- same gameplay mechanic and game engine. My main complaint it is that this game is RIDICULOUSLY hard.

My main complaint it is that this game is RIDICULOUSLY hard. I've logged probably thousands of hours in this game and since it came out 20 years ago and I'm still astounded at how difficult some of these levels are. But like it's predecessor this game holds up quite well and is well suited to the XBL platform. A couple of years after this game came out I remember feeling this weird feeling of "gosh I've wasted so much of my life playing this gross game". If only I knew how more years I would spend playing this game!… Expand

    its a first person shooter classic and doom 1,2 and 64 where very big inspirations for games nowadays for example:titan fall and other games.just like its predecessor it succeeded and its a nostalgic throw back for old school gamer s and a good taste for new generation players to get a classic to play

    Pretty much Doom 1 great Gameplay and musik level design gets a bit weirder in the later games almost like the developers are trolling those who want to 100% every level. But still an amazing game with new Demons wich quickly became very iconic and the best weapon in gaming history wich became even coler in 2016 and eternal

    Um verdadeiro clássico pode ter envelhecido mal os gráficos mas a diversão continua a mesma.

    Doom II is just a nostalgia fix. As charming as the experience can be, it’s just very dated.

    It's always fun to see Doom II again, but it doesn't make the big splash that it did seventeen years ago

    The question is, does this make Doom 2 worth your hard earned? At 800 points, this really depends on how nostalgic you feel.
