Introduction:

Doom is just one of those games which will be forever remembered as a classic, but why? Well everyone always calls it the best old FPS which set up the way for a lot of future generations. This gives the game a lot to live up to, especially with future games setting people's mindset to dislike older games for not being as "epic".

Storyline:

The storyline of the game is nothing overly original. You're a one man army (way overused) with just one weapon (sound more familiar?) who has to go around killing all the demon spawn (well I've never taken on a demon hoard before...). Luckily you don't think about it all too much when playing, as the storyline doesn't matter much. Doom 3 certainly made the concept a lot more interesting, but it did come later after all! Still, overall the Doom...

THE GOOD:
Cool Weapons, awesome monsters, good graphics, and nice story.

THE BAD:
nothing really.

SUMMARY:
What can i say, this game is better than Wolfstein. I mean if it weren't for ID games made this, then Halo, Unreal Tournament, Quake 1,2,3 they wouldn't been created. I grew up with this game when I was 6 i started to play the game, but now I'm 14. I thought the game was scary, but not any more except when they pop out of no where. People should buy this game because it is still the bomb. I'll give this game a 9.8/10 a very good game I should say. You should play Doom 3 it looks so good that I almost pee my pants. I haven't review Doom 2, Ultimate Doom and Final Doom. I like this game because the story is better than doom 2. Doom 2 confuses me, i don't why but it does.

THE GOOD:
Revolutionised the genre
Was available on shareware to start off with
Addictive and great fun to play

THE BAD:
Bad???

SUMMARY:
What is there to say about this game? This is really the game that started it all off. Without this we probably wouldn't have Unreal Tournament or Halo. There was Castle Wolfenstein before this, but Doom built upon that and this game was so incredibly popular and in a move of marketing genius, the first 8 levels (and one secret level) were free to the world on the Internet. This meant that millions of people got to play it and it was probably one of the best decisions ID ever made. People were so incredibly impressed by the game that when the full version was released in the shops people snapped it up pretty damn quickly.

I remember none of that as I was only 8 at the time, I merely read up on how that ID couldn't actually log onto their server the next day after releasing the shareware version...

THE GOOD:
Cool and unique weapons.Propobly the best FPS in the whole freaking world.And the multiplayer is awesome too.

THE BAD:
Does not have the option to look up and down.

SUMMARY:
If you like shooting down zombies,imps and cacodemons,get this game.It has good graphics,good gameplay and even better skill level ratings.
From "I'm too young to die!"For *bleep*s who can't complete the first level without getting a bloody nose,to "NIGHTMARE",for those people like me,who make a pack of cyberdemons look like complete idiots.Plus there is a large variety of enemies.The multiplayer I have to say is the best part.The deathmatch is the mode I love most.There is nothing more fun than totally blowing your family members away and listening to them scream"Oh,Shit"!!!In misery.
Then there are the wads.Levels,new looks for enemies,glowing plazma,smoking rockets,new music,new sounds,you name it!

THE GOOD:
For it's time: Graphics, Gameplay, Enemies everything!

THE BAD:
Lack of storyline

SUMMARY:
When I 1st got this game way back when I was 7 (1993) the year the game came out, I was absolutely blown away! I'd never played a game like this since Wolfenstein 3D and the range of characters was awesome!

This game definately propelled the FPS genre up to where it is today. I mean you ask anyone who was old enough to play video games back then and they'll say Doom was their 1st FPS ever.

The gameplay was just awesome even though you just went around killing people and monsters and there was no real puzzle solving or storyline it was still awesome to just run around as fast as you could and kill anything in sight. It was also easy because there was only the use of the keyboard so you didn't have to aim up and down to shoot enemies.

The original First Person Shooter to bring up contraversy. No body can deny Doom of its increadible impact on the industry. A whole new generation of games were created in its wake, and have over time, overshadowed this once great warrior.

Doom is a great game to have, but as far as competition and games go, there are much better games out there. Should Doom be around 5 dollars then get the game, otherwise get one of the newer first person shooters.
