Doom Reviews
Despite a troubled development, Doom is a confident, cracking throwback that pays loving tribute to its much-vaunted forefathers while bringing the noise via cutting edge tech. In a world awash with sci-fi hitscan shooters, it's a breath of fiery air that will delight as it melts faces.
DOOM it's a great game. It is a great FPS that stays true to its roots but with certain adjustments necessary for this time. I think fans of the series will find it fascinating while the new generations could also draw your attention to everything the series stands for. The most important thing is that after so many years, this new DOOM feels and plays like a classic. Keep your combat frantic and addictive with epic fights against demons and final bosses.

What can really be said? DOOM is a beautiful return to form by Id and a magnificent show of tradition whilst accepting modern sensibilities. Sure, the two non-campaign modes are lacking, but this is DOOM. To give much weight to either snapmap or multiplayer would be like criticizing a steakhouse with subpar salad and dinner rolls despite the sheer quality of their world-famous Filet Mignon.
Doom is now my front-runner for game of the year.
In the end, Doom is a worthy successor to the original and although there was mixed reviews of Doom 3 way back in 2004, id Software should be praised on not only paying homage to the original but successfully rebooting the franchise on high-end consoles and of course the PC. Sure, it's a little old school at times but that was also the beauty of the original and if you're looking for a fast paced first person shooter than Doom is the game for you. Even though the game is quite linear, there's plenty of secrets to be found which definitely gives you incentive to either explore all the levels totally or play the game again, so Knights of Hell beware!
DOOM is one of the best first person shooters of this generation. Just go in without any expectations and it will provide you with an experience unlike any other shooter.
Doom captures the feeling of nostalgic fun without being cynical. Brutal, intense and incredibly fun.
Doom is a big name in gaming history, and this new entry offers a great and faithful encapsulation of its predecessors fast-passed shooting, trademark gore and infamous demons.
Not even tacked-on multiplayer or a weak level editor can stop DOOM from being a total blast from start to finish.
Exactly the right amount of old and new, DOOM is an adrenaline rush that borders on overwhelming in the best possible way.
Overall DOOM is one half of an impeccable package. If it shipped without any of the multiplayer at all I'd still believe it worthy of the score below; the tepid multiplayer does little to sway it on either side. For fans of single-player FPS campaigns DOOM is a juggernaut, and some of the most fun I've had in gaming for years. It's never going to grab you with an engrossing plot of spectacular linear set pieces, but the flawless combat ensures DOOM just never lets up. Now it's just fingers crossed time that Quake can get the same treatment.
There is a wealth of content here for the singleplayer gamer such as myself, and while the multiplayer is fun, I can't help but feel it will be dead within the year.
Bethesda had the right idea in mind when it brought back Wolfenstein, and reviving Doom back after a prolonged spell in development hell is just as welcome. The game offers more than enough for fans to sink their teeth into, while it injects some purely-optional new ideas to keep in-step with modern games. All in all, Doom is a big, bloody gore-filled romp that is well worth experiencing.

DOOM makes a brilliant comeback with fun, classic game play!
Guns, gore and demons. The classic DOOM is back and it's better than ever. With a glorious and immensely satisfying single player experience, DOOM is one of the best shooters of year. Shame it can't be said about the multiplayer, but at least with the addition of intuitive SnapMap you can create your very own Hell.
Doom may not offer some gameplay mechanics that modern shooters heavily rely on, but it definitely provides everything a hardcore shooter fan has ever wished for. The game is filled with fire and blood, the gameplay is fast-paced and the visuals are cutting-edge. Welcome to Hell!

DOOM is almost everything I could have asked for. Its campaign has left my heart literally racing in my chest from sheer excitement. It's fast, impactful, and a damn good lot of fun. Multiplayer and SnapMap may be disappointing by comparison, but the perfection of its better half is greatly elevating and I cannot recommend DOOM enough. This is a first-person shooter you don't want to miss.
