 SCARY AND SUSPENSFUL!!! March 29, 2008
Grant E. Masson (Indiana, USA)
This game will keep you in suspense and have you jump in your seat a few times. It is fantastic considering the price is a lot less than other comparable games such as Crysis.
Your heart will beat faster as you penetrate deep into the levels that are swarming with zombies and other gruesome creatures all out to destroy you. Multiple save features are useful in that you begin where you were eliminated.
WELL WORTH the money, exciting and fun to play it will keep you mesmorized for hours on end!!!!
 Pretty Cool!!! July 11, 2008

This Game Is Awesome If You Play It In The Dark, Alone.Don't Play It With Your Friends In The Room Cuz They Will Distract You From All of The Jumpy Moments.
Fun once you figure it out August 11, 2008
joetagaz (Scottsdale, AZ USA)
I have to admit that at first I was very disappointed because I couldn't figure out how to get to places I was supposed to go. The manual is no help and you're pretty much left on your own to figure things out. I found a few websites that had maps and tips/tricks (and even cheat codes) that helped a lot! Once you get past the initial confusion this game is as much fun as the original Doom but with better foes and improved graphics.
Great Game! October 14, 2008
Sarkis Gezalian (Los Angeles, California USA)
The game is extremely fun to play. I love the graphics and effects. Great price and great delivery time. Overall I give game a 9 out of 10.

DOOM. It is a thoroughly American, made in the USA (even has the "Made in USA" on the actual CD case) game series that changed an entire industry. With DOOM, the world of "3d" gaming, from the minds at Id, took a quantum leap forward. It is now 2008 and I am playing DOOM for the first time (got distracted by a time consuming online RPG).
DOOM , even playing it in later 2008, is MIND BLOWING in its graphic detail. Id really, really knows how to create atmosphere and doomed environments. It is massively epic, from the dark shadows to the steam vents to the throbbing, menacing sounds reminiscent of a David Lynch (think Twin Peaks Fire Walk with Me) movie. There is certainly a David Lynch influence this time... with things like the spooky, doomed flashlight circle in the dark and the Angelo Badalamenti style sound effects. Still, expect classic "Aliens" style attacks and gun gear.
Despite the jaw dropping environments, there are some things that DOOM seems to require to be perfect. One, please have the classic shotgun in the centered firing position. Two, there is not enough action going on. Three, it needs to be longer - I've only played DOOM a short while and am already in the Delta Labs (original DOOM went on and on with continual levels set in Hell).
There needs to be more open areas and/or levels. There is way too much time spent inside the spooky Mars base. In some ways this is an attempt to increase the fear; however the overall game play needs variety. When you consider that the original DOOM had these massive open areas (oftentimes full of demons and tricky puzzles) then, in contrast, DOOM starts to feel kind of cramped. In those dark, cramped levels it sure would be useful to duct tape a flashlight to your shotgun...
So, it is way too short, there is not enough action, you should have the option to duct tape a flashlight to a shotgun and it is a cramped game play experience. However, really, DOOM delivers so much quality that in many ways, you don't care about the problems. If only it were longer, if only the levels had more variety, if only the classic shotgun were there (with the option to put a flashlight on it) - then, it could be considered perfect. It is not perfect, however it is most certainly impressive, innovative and the graphics are jaw dropping. DOOM is an example of how Americans (like John Carmack) can still create devastating, revolutionary products that are capable of changing entire industries for the better.
