A disgrace to the 3D-first person world and the N64 platform

I found this game to be not only a bad attempt at remaking Quake64, but a stupid and imcompetent one. Somethimes, a dark and grainy enviorment is necessary for a creepy enviorment, but the way Doom 64 exploits it just chews up the scenery. If you're looking for an effective horror game that used lighting, music, and gameplay correctloy, get Quake 64 or Quake 2

This is a joke, right?

Oh dear god... What is Nintendo thinking?! This game is the worst I have ever seen. Everything is wrong. It may be a little scary when the sound warms up, but when u see the ugly miscrient that lurks around the corner it looks like a pixel blob of colors. The environments look a little cool, but the controls are all wrong. It feels like your gliding across an ice rink, which personally I don't enjoy durring shooters. There are alot of better titles out there for Nintendo 64. This one is sooooooooo bad, that you might wish to rent it for laughs with your friends. Peace

Stoneage graphics and gameplay

I can't honestly see why this game wasn't taken straight from the drawing board and chucked in the bin. If you want a monotonous, time-consuming, repetative and tedious waste of money with the graphics that make the Gameboy look hi-tech then this is the game for you.....but don,t say I didn't warn you !

Huh?

I've played this game and it's PC version. This one stunk if I were you get Duke Nukem 3d or wait until the new Duke Nukem comes out. The best one of all is Quake. Get one of those games. The PC version of Doom is better but by half a star. If you are looking for a female action hero get Tomb Raider or Perfect Dark. Don't even waste your time with this stupid Pixilated game.

the most contraversel game i know has invaded the N64-beware

To this generation doom 64 would look like the most cruddy game ever concived.but it is far better than about 95% of the games on most consoles,but this game is not without blemish.let us start out with the following....
1) the good, the graphics are spectacular for a n64 FPS the enemis are well animated as well as the levels themselves,the lighting effects are divine when there is a neon red light not only will it show on your gun but also the enemies too,there is no music but there is ambient sounds and what not,the story seems to be the same old same old but this is not bad.

now heres the bad news(this should be read by parents for there own benefit)
the bad-as you know Doom is about a group of scientist that find a martian lab
that in game terms opened a portal to hell,so guess what the scientist do
they open the portal and low and behold they let out a boat load of demons that either kill or zombifiy the people there(you'll find some of the limbs ,and such in the levels, of the unfortunate ones) and you are sent to exterminate them and close the portal. the blood/gore factor of game is not pretty, of course i have not got past the third level but if i know Doom well its not going to get any better,as for demonic/satanic i haven't found any yet but there is 100% chance you'll find some in the latter levels,thats all for now for the bad.

in conclusion i would never recommend this game to anyone and this game should be avoided at all cost!!!(even though it is a high graphics games)
signed sir drusel

The only real interesting new feature are the great graphics

Other than that, everything else in the game is just plain BORING.

The main problem with this game is the levels; most all of them are small and enclosed. Though the other dooms had similar levels, they also had many large ones and many open spaces. Not so with Doom 64. I swear; save for the last level, there isn't 1, not even ONE level that has any large open space. Add to that the fact that the levels are pretty smal to begin with, and things just get worse.

Another problem is that the levels are too easy to beat; virtually none of them have any sort of "challenging" aspect at all.Those that do just failed to keep my interest like the older doom games.

Last, there are too few levels. I think the number comes to no more than 30.

This game also did not live up to its potential. There is only 1 new weapon (the laser). It would have been good if it weren't for the fact that its full potential can only be used in the very last level of the game. All before that, its barely better than the fist.

This game's graphics are amazing though. Its fun to run around and blast all those amazingly detailed enemies. But thats the only redeeming feature I saw, and in my opinion, its certainly not enough to save it.

Doom 64 for is good for a weekend rental at most. But if you want a quality Doom title, go for... well, virtually ANY other version of doom on ANY other system.

This is bad

The graphics should have had a more 3D feeling. Everytime I walked around a demon carcass it looked the same as any other. It also turned so I only saw one side of it. The guns were cool the first time I played the original Doom,10 years ago. There wasn't any plot behind the game. A blind monkey with half a brain and no arms could at least make it to the last level. The ending was very bland. Everyone who played Doom 64 is now dumber after the experience.

Quake 64 owns this

...because, for me, in this game there is too much running around going, "okay what in the @#$% am I supposed to do now?" and "Where is the little arbitrarily-placed secret opening in some wall somewhere in the map which the switch I just pressed opened? Great, now I will probably spend 5 excruciating minutes searching for the thing. meanwhile I could be playing Quake." It is too frustrating for me because these elements (switches, keys) necessary to keep the momentum in the game going seem to me to be arbitrarily located around the levels, whereas in Quake there is a "rhyme and reason" to their placement. One time as I was playing this they hid a switch behind some secret armor inside a wall, but I got the armour and missed seeing the switch because it blended in with the background color and pattern. when I finally went back and noticed it I was fuming. This game is no fun for me to play at all, indeed, quite the opposite, sir.

Upgrade from the usual Doom, but still Doom is Doom

Doom has returned with an all-new game for the Nintendo 64. As always you are the lone soldier in space sent to annihilate goat headed monsters, imps, zombie soldiers, arch viles and spider masterminds. But new to the Doom saga are very intelligent enemies and upgraded graphics, which look smooth and not pixilated like the PC and other versions. Also new are three new weapons, to help you tear through dark creatures on your way through 30 levels. The good part is that they are action packed and challenging, the bad part is that some of the levels take you an hour to get through them. Which sets Doom 64 apart from the Quake games for N64, because in Quake it is obvious what to do... go straight and kill whatever gets in your way. With Doom you use your mind to uncover things. However, this is a stereotypical shooting game where you can only point your gun forward and you cannot jump. Fortunately in this game you will not find yourself fighting monsters on staircases, ramps or shooting at them from miles away like in the other versions of Doom. All of that being said, it is a good game, but it will not keep your interest, because of all of the extras that the PC versions had, such as making your own levels, this game does not have.

A good game to rent on the Weekend

Doom 64, ain't all that bad, But as for Me I wouldn't buy it. I did rent it, And I enjoyed it for the time I rented it. But, I think this would be one of them game's that get old in a week. Doom 64, is a Shooting game. But, it does not have no Multi-player mode. The are a lot of level's in the game, But one thing that I didn't like, is They all looked the same pretty much, Just with a better name. The level's looked good, And 3-D. But, everyone and Everything in them, looked like it was paper glued on. The best thing to do, Is Rent it for a week-end And, see how you like it.
