A near perfect port of the PC classic

When Doom 2 was originally released on the PC, it was well received by fans of the original and virtually topped the original in every area. The same can be said for the GBA coversion of Doom 2 which beats the first GBA Doom in every way possible. All 32 areas are available, and the focus is more on running and gunning although there are more levels, switches, and puzzles to solve than before. Every level is full of tons of the 15 different types of enemies, while you get your faithful assortment of weapons ranging from the chainsaw to the BFG 9000. The best feature of having Doom 2 on the go however is the surprisingly tight multiplayer support. Every level offers a death match mode for up to four people, the only downside is you'll need seperate cartridges and link cables for everyone who's playing. The graphics are a bit better on the GBA this time around, as is the sound although it can grate on your nerves after a while. The only other downside to Doom 2 is the ever present green blood flying around thats left over from the original GBA Doom, but some will hardly notice. All in all, with the wave of first person shooters on the GBA now, Doom 2 is the leader of the pack.

Doom II......

Admittedly, Doom II is almost a near-perfect port of the PC original for the Gameboy Advance. It plays just as intensely as the original version, is just as engaging, and is just as fun. The developers did an admirable job with the game. Do I recommend it to everyone? Most certainly. It's definitely worth owning on the system...just for the walk down memory lane. But, honestly, there isn't much here that makes it stand out more so than the original. The first Doom(by David A. Palmer Proudctions) pretty much laid the groundwork of what the series would look and play like on the GBA so there isn't much there to make you go..."Wow!". If you can get past that, though, you definitely got a game that is a blast to play through.
In fact, I'd like to recommend you try both Doom and Doom II.

Now, if we can just get the honchos at Activision to consider making Final Doom for the GBA...we'd have 'em all in our greedy lil hands to play. Here's hoping they're reading this.

DOOM II, another green-blooded slaughter-fest!

Doom II is the eight best FPS for GBA and the 8th released for the system. Doom is an awesome game, Doom II is an awesome. Which one is better. It's a tie! They both are so good that there is no dividing line. Doom II features more of the same running-and-gunning gameplay, finding switches and keys to open doors, and blasting everything away that moves. However, there are new enemies, a new weapon, and more levels than the original. Unlike the first Doom port which had some elements from it's original PC version missing, the Doom II port has everything intact! Get ready for another green-blooded slaughter-fest!

Compared to the first it has better graphics, gameplay, sound, and levels, but it doesent have that lasting effect or replayability as the first one. Don't get me worng its one of the best fps on the gba but personaly i like the original the best. You travel on earth this time killing thousands of demonic creatures for almost no reason but its alot of fun. But once you complete it there is no need or want to do it again. Also why is the gore edited so much?? Aw well its still a good game regardless.

This is a great game

This is such a great game, but I wonder why people say this game is so gory? It is not! The blood (or red blocks, whatever you call it) is so fake! there is only a little when you shoot a monster, see a dead marine, or look at the little mug of your face! And, if I am not mistaken, It was all GREEN in the last GBA Doom, so it might be just like that one! but, if you forget about the pixelated blocks, this is a great game. But if you can, get a joystick and get it for PC.

One of the best GBA Titles

This is one of the classic games that is a must for your GBA. I'm not on a mission to purchase every game, only the best ones. Others are Duke Nukem Advance, the Super Mario series, Metroid Fusion (I have yet to purchase Zero Mission), and Max Payne. Get Doom II now!

At Last Doom II for my GBA SP and Nintendo DS

The game arrived in perfect shape. I've tested it on both my Gameboy Advance SP and Nintendo DS and it plays perfectly on both machines. I am extremely pleased as this game is quite rare and has become almost impossible to find. In fact, most video game stores (that I have been to) don't even know it exists. My thanks to the seller for parting with it.

The best GBA game you can buy.While the graphics may not be everything,the best part is the maze-like levels,blood & gore,Super Shotgun,Lvl 13:Downtown,Lvl 16:The Suburbs,blood & gore,more blood & gore :).I love playing this game...I think it is way better than the ps,3DO,and Jaguar ports,since it has all the areas,and the GBA managed to get a port of Doom 2 anyway!I's play this over any PS2 game(except GTA:VC and RTCW,those good games....)but anyway,but it if your into shooters.

You really need some hours to play this

Look for a few hours the game is fun if you enjoyed it on the pc; actually I completed the game on pc, but somehow the controls don't add up to the addictive playability i had expected. Glad that i sold the game.

Problem of the game is you can't save, only inbetween levels. This means playing over and over a level and each one is quite big, so a replay of 1 level takes half an hour easily.

Either rent it, or buy it for max $10 (and sell it for $10 some weeks later) - I did.

This is the best game ever made! * * * * * star game

This is a awesome sequel to Doom! This sci-fi shoot 'em up provides carnage, thrills, surprises, and loads of awesome weapons. It may not have sweet graphics, but i mean this game makes up with all its original qualities and the features i mentioned, this game is sweet! This can be for doom fanatics, or for beginners. Tip:beginners, first try doom,Playing doom 2 would give you up the story line to the whole doom series.Doom should have a movie! Overall: 5 stars.

I LOVE ALL DOOM GAMES!
