Upgraded version of the original FPS!!

Having read the other reviews on this game, I was forced to give my opinion, having played the original games when they first came out and changed the computer game world.

Doom 64 is a wonderful enhancement to the original DOOM series. With 3D environments, upgraded graphics (nice Cacodemon), better AI (the Lost Souls are no longer "dumb" and on fire, just on fire!), this is a worthy successor to the original ID games. The new laser weapon is actually quite good once you learn to use it correctly (read -- fire a constant stream).

For today's gamers, i.e. those who were raised on Quake or Duke Nukem, this game will not meet their standards for gameplay, level design, or graphics quality. However, for those who want to see the "next generation" of the original DOOM games, this is the best offering (I am not including the so-called DOOM 3 project here).

Level design is improved over the original DOOM series, and the demons are more frightening and intelligent than ever. The puzzles are somewhat harder, and the hidden levels and secrets are much harder to find than in the original. Graphics are well done, and the levels are large and original. However, there are a number of corners that seem to appear that your soldier can get stuck on -- a problem that should not exist for any shooter -- however, this is a minor problem in an otherwise great conversion of DOOM.

Doom 64 is well worth getting...don't let the majority fool.

If you love FPS games or you just love Doom, you need to check out this version. It's definitely alot better looking than anything that has come before it. But, don't expect it to be Quake or Quake 2 because it isn't by any means. "Why would I be interested in it, then?" you may ask...Well, It's Doom and Id Software made it so you know it has to be good. Anyone who's played Doom knows you're in for some intense gameplay when you play Doom. And this game has it in spades. Trust me, it's a difficult one but if you're a FPS fanatic like me...you'll make it through with only a few scratches. Don't let the majority fool you, there is alot to like about Doom 64. It's not like Quake or Quake 2 but, then again, it's not supposed to be.

This is DOOM!

Some people don't want to admit it, but the N64 had some of the coolest FPS ever! DOOM64 is the best version of DOOM to ever be released for any system, console or PC. Perfectly rendered bulldog demons snarl at you in drones, and there's nothing like the old chainsaw to mow them down! A classic that belongs in every N64 owners collection.

THE GREATEST

Doom 64 in my mind is the greatest FPS ever created. Its unbelievably creepy and I have played it a thousand times over and over again. None of the Bond games for Gamecube or any of the Resident Evil games (I have all the next gen systems) are as good as this.

One of my top 10!

I have a large collection of games, but Doom 64 is (without a doubt) one of my favorites! It's one of those games that's addictive. Gamers know what I mean... The kind that you think about at school or work or anywhere else and make you anxious to get home and get back to playing it! I enjoyed the other Doom games, but this one really keeps you on the edge!

Sooo scary

This game is really scary. After playing Quake it was strange goin to the system with no looking, no jumping....but instantly i got into this game. The level design is superb, implementing the hub design sometimes and the linear shoot and run design. Ambient noise will scare the crap out of you, i started sweating on level 7. There are also tons of tons of secrets, finding them makes the game more fun and easier if you get them. This game is very hard though, be prepared to die, or be very cautious. I say get it if you are a true fan, especially if you liked doom originally. I missed opening a door and having 35 imps firing at me, 4 polygonal characters in goldeneye just cant hold that fear. I say if you like doom, get it, turn off the lights, turn up the music, and blast away.

I am another one that has recently pulled out their old N64 to play. Looking through the bag of games I found Doom 64. My love of Doom began again. I have been a fan of Doom ever since the original came out in 1993 when I was ten years old (22 years old now). This is game is immense fun.

Man, did this bring back old memories. Doom 64 is a then updated version of the classic series. The demons looked better and still had the eeriness the series has always had. This game is also very challenging, I find my self dying every now and then. Luckily I have a N64 memory card that I can load so I don't have to start over without all of the weapons I have picked up along the way.

This game is surprisingly lengthy, hours of game play for the Doom fan that will bring them to a state of heaven.

I recommend this game to anyone who still has an N64 and a video game store near by that sells old/used video games. This is definitely something to pick up. If you are just now discovering the wonderful world of DOOM, this game is for you.

A New Look

What I like most about this game is the new look of the weapons and monsters. This was the first Doom game to really look different. The new weapons and monsters have an awesome design. The only ones that I think looked better in the original are the Lost Souls and Cacodemons. Every other monster is streamlined to look real nice.

The final monster at the end is some kind of big ugly rat thing. An interesting new character.

The levels are pretty darn complicated, I think even moreso than the previous Doom games. It might only be because it's harder to cheat on this game than the computer Doom games.

I thought the music and atmosphere made the game creepy, and the goofy skipped-frame way the monsters moved made the game funny. It's an interesting mix.

This game is fun to play. If you like Doom, you'll like this. There's cool levels and secrets just like in every Doom game.

Awesome Fun

I bought this game for my son, and he loved it. I have to say that he was hooked, he even got me turned on to the game. One of the best games we have ever played. The not knowing when or what was around the next corner gave one the creeps. This was six years ago and we still love the game.
