DOOM ROCKS

I have played Doom on about all the systems possible, PC, Snes, N64, and the PSX. None of them came close to the PC version. That all changed when I saw the Doom version on the GBA. Let me review it this way. In the snes version you could play all the episodes from the PC Version, but you could play all skill levels on the first, three on the second, and two on the third. That disapointed me because it got really hard toward the end. Plus you got no saves, that means if you got far you couldn't save your progress. The graphics aren't good either. For example, the monsters look the same from all sides, that means it's about ten pixels for each monsters. Now let's look at the GBA version. You get to play all the episodes from the original, and all the skill levels for every episode. You get four saves. That means you can have four players with their own saves. Plus the graphics are much better, the mosters have a front, back, left side, right side, everything. Now that's a total of about 50-60 pixels per monster, and you get it all on a PORTABLE video game system. There is just one thing people have been fussing about for a while. WHY IS THE BLOOD GREEEEEN. Well I went into research and found out that the blood is green so the game could get a Teen rating. If you love Doom games, or FPS (First Person Shooter) games, then you must get this game. If you haven't played FPS and you have a GameBoy Advance this a good game to start with.

Excellent Port of the All-Time First-Person Classic!

Well, it looks as if Activision has successfully ported the all time first-person shooter classic almost flawlessly. It looks amazing and really shows off what the GBA can accomplish graphics wise. The same music from the original PC classic is included, and it sounds just about the same. Some of the minor changes I noticed were that the blood is green (instead of red, probably to earn it's Teen rating) and that they have modified the levels a bit. It is not an exact copy of the original, but it is pretty close. It is by far the best first-person shooter out right now for the GBA. You get all three episodes and all the correct skill levels ("hurt me plenty","nightmare",etc). If you are an on-the-go gamer or want to show your friends what your GBA can do, you should definitely go for this classic.

Legendary shooter wherever you go

I was so excited to see a GBA version of DOOM that I went out and dropped sixty bucks on a GBA SP. I am not at all disappointed with this port of the legendary PC classic. The game plays just like the pc version, and although the controls are difficult at first, you get used to them fairly quickly.

The gameplay does slow down noticeably in some levels as opposed to others, but it is never choppy or too hard to handle. The small screen does take something away from the PC version, but that is to be expected from any game ported to PC. Also, the monsters have green blood, which is not a big deal for me, but some people found this really bothersome. Also, they disappear shortly after being fragged, which can cause confusion in some of the larger levels when you can't see the bodies in rooms that you have already cleared. Some people complained that the game is too dark; I didn't notice this. but I have an SP with the backlit screen, so I don't know if that makes a differnce. Anyway being said, this is an amazing port of the best shooter game ever made, and since you can take it anywhere, you will never be bored. (unless your battery runs out).

I have not yet tried multiplayer, but I bought two cartridges and I will test it out soon.

It was in great shape when I recieved it. The game is fun and exciting, it contains all of the favorite episodes of Doom. I thought that it might have been challenging to play the game boy version, but I found it to be similar to playing it on PC. I recomend this game to anyone who loves the Doom series, or to anyone who loves a good shooting game.
