THE GOOD:Plays much like the PC versions. Good graphics and rather intense gameplay.
THE BAD:
Control scheme is way too complex. Areas are too dark to see without turning brightness up on your TV. Some areas are frustratingly hard to clear.
SUMMARY:
This version of Doom was ported by Midway and not id Software, and it's actually rather decent. It boasts totally new levels not seen in the PC original plus new enemies and weapons as well.
The gameplay remains fast, furious, and simple-kill or be killed and find weapons & items to aid you in staying alive. Switches & keycards add some nice puzzle elements and there are many chances to put weapons to good use.
Although you can configure the controls to your liking, this is where the game really suffers. A multi-button control pad just cannot replace the keyboard and you'll find yourself frustrated trying to press the right button to get the weapon you need...
