Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: If you don't know what Doom is, you must be one of those weirdoes that had something better to do with their time in the summer of 1993 than play PC games. Doom is one of the most influential games of all time and popularised the whole first-person shoot-'em-up genre, and is thus the spiritual grandaddy of classics such as Quake, Half-Life, GoldenEye and even the recent Halo. Indeed, the major draw for this portable version is the cloying wave of nostalgia it brings to hardcore gamers as they set about the hordes of hell with a shotgun and a chain saw. This is an almost-perfect conversion of the original (or at least the original running on an average speed PC of the time) that even manages to include a four-player death match and a cooperative two-player mode. The music is the same, the level design is the same and best of all the gameplay is the same, with strafing working surprisingly well on the GBA's shoulder buttons. The only problem with the game, other than the inexplicable use of green blood even though it's got a 15 rating, is that the graphics can be a bit jerky in places. Which is presumably why the developers have had to ditch the two huge end-of-level bosses from the second and third episodes. In general, though, this is a technical tour de force that will have any remaining GBA doubters reaching for their wallets. --David Jenkins Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Back to the Hell that spawned you...DooM is reason enough to buy a GBA. It is a phenomenal game, one that (in the opinion of a console gun-bunny) demands the D-pad. I know plenty of old-schoolers will say the Mouse is better, but I know what I like. This game has it all... well, almost. It's not so much the original DooM as a modified Playstation version. Levels such as the Tower of Babel aren't here, both the Cyberdemon and Spider Mastermind are not included, and I'm pretty sure a few of the levels are taken from the Playstation version, not the PC one. That said, all weapons and power-ups are present, there's at least one Secret level (The Military Base) has survived the conversion. If this had been a direct-from-PC port, it'd be perfect. Truly, there ...

Doom has returned...after years of being one of the best first person shooters in the world...it is brought to a portable console. The game features most of the things from the pc version, dynamic lights (or static lights), all the enemies and weapons...everything you could want on a simple game boy. There are some downfalls, there are some levels missing from the pc version (i have the pc version), it's missing one level of difficulty (e.g easy-hard...no medium). And also it's hard to see what's ... Read More: Rating:  - A classic, but not all that playableDoom is a classic. No doubt about it. Still playable nowadays. Superb level design, tight action, all the right things you want in an all-out action FPS. But it needs a bigger screen. I can't play it on my SP since I can't see what's going on. A good try, but I'll stick with FFA Tactics and Mario Kart. Rating: - doomedIts wonderfull really how something i played on when our family first got a PC is now on a little black cartridge. This game is great purley becuase it is Doom on a handheld. All the weapons and enemys are there along with 21 levels of 3D shooter action. I think this should be in any ones collection who owns a GBA. The only down point is that Doom is a classic game and was released in 93/94 so to some it may seem a bit too old. Also the levels can seem to drag after a while. Rating:  - Doom Advance on the GBA..This is the classic game on the gameboy advance, and it is brilliant. It's basically just that; Doom on the game boy advance. All the sounds and music are pretty much the same as the PC version, and the handy new L and R buttons on the GBA make it easy to sidestep. None of the gameplay has been lost, and the multiplayer is fantastic, provided you can find someone else with a GBA and a doom cartridge. Of course some things have been changed. As it's a console and is targeted at younger people, they've made the blood (including yours) green. Plus the corpses vanish. These things are minor, but there is the very occasional slowdown also. The lack of in-game saving only serves to make it more tense and challenging, and you'd be surprised ... Read More: |
