Classic Doom Review

blog-0602531001417408225.gifOh, hey, after a year and a half, I finally made a blog entry. I'm reviewing an old game from MS-DOS. That old as hell OS from the 90s.

Classic Doom

Basically, I'm reviewing all of classic Doom, as they're all basically the same, so I feel I don't need to touch on the story. Demons invade, kill them all as Doomguy.

 

Ok, so here are my points:

 

Gameplay:

The gameplay is excellent. The controls are a little slippery, which is particularly noticeable when standing on narrow platforms. If you turn too fast, you'll fall off. Only a minor nitpick, and not game-breaking. The gunplay is excellent. Mowing down enemies is extremely satisfying, and when you fire a gun, especially the shotgun, it sounds hard-hitting.

9.5/10

 

Sound:

The sound is excellent, as well. The music is very catchy and is based off of numerous grunge and rock titles.

10/10

 

Visuals:

It's a game from 1993, but for a game that old, it looks good. Even today, the visuals hold up in my opinion.

8.5/10

 

Difficulty:

The game never feels cheap. Enemies don't swarm up on you and you don't take craploads of damage unless you're playing the hardest difficulty, and if you are, the game even warns you.

9.5/10

 

Replay Value: 9/10

 

Final Score: 9.5/10]

 

All in all, a great shooter with tons of fast paced, action packed fun. If you're an FPS enthusiast, you owe it to yourself to play this game. Unless you're one of those, "CoD is best why would anyone play anything else"

Definitely a must-play if you love classics and enjoy FPS.

 

 

So, yeah my first blog entry. Sorry for any suckage, I'm new to this. What do you think? Informative enough? Needs work?

A very concise review. It's nice finding a review that tells me everything I need to know quickly without excessive verbosity. The only thing I might change is adding some screenshots where possible to illustrate.

 

As for Doom itself, I'd like to say that there are lots of mods to extend the experience. Worth checking out. Some are simple retextures, new sounds, and new maps, but there are a few that fundamentally alter the game to inrease the havoc and destruction, such as Brutal Doom and Demonsteele. Give them a look if you've yet to delve into that side of Doom.

I didn't mention the mods because I wanted to look at vanilla Doom, as Brutal Doom really changes the game. I'll keep some of the tips in mind.  Thanks for the feedback! :D
