I love Doom, both the originals and 3. I don't care what you say, I still love them. It brought my child up with shooters and Rated M games and it still gives me the greatest pleasure even when I play this game! Before I start talkig about why it's good, I'm going to vent out my enjoyment of this game.
THIS GAME IS SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!
DID YOU SEE HOW I KILLED THAT GUY!!! OH MY GOD!!
OH GOD, THE GORE!!! THE GORE!!!
AAAAAH!!! GLORY KILLS!!!!
Anyways, the game is an instant classic, it's basically paying it's respects to the classic games and how much exploring you can do in the game just like from the originals. It's just awesome. The story is your basic go stop the evil, but doesn't care you listen or not, it just wants to put you in the middle of the fight and says have fun to you and hope you survive with the blood marking your glory.
The gameplay (To expose you guys that say this game is like Halo), the game isn't like Halo. I know I said in the Beta Review that it was Halo on steroids, but in terms of gameplay, it does not feel like halo. And in the multiplayer doesn't seem different, they just upped your speed by about 10% to give you a bigger chance running away or chasing that guy that ran.
There are new abilities in the both the Campaign and Multiplayer like Haste, where your firing speed and running speed is way faster, Regeneration, where you regenerate you health and armor, Berserk, where you have your fists out and get ready to super glory kill someone with out trying to injure them and gives you additional health boosts with every kill.
There are new weapons like the Hellshot. The gun shoots a fiery bullet that burns 30 points of health. And the alternate fire shoots a hellish flame that engulf the enemy on fire and burns them continuously for 30 seconds.
There is also the Burst Rifle, like a semi-auto rifle that only shoots 3 bullets with every pull of the trigger, but when aiming, it becomes a single shot rifle that does 20% more damage while in the aim. I believe that's all the new weapons in the Multiplayer? I don't know, I haven't really looked closely. But in the Campaign, there is the Chaingun and the BFG, but we all knew those guns were already in there, right?
Now on to something else. The SnapMaps are awesome! I have played so much in that one. The featured maps are a bit stupid, like the "Can You Count to 10" Map where you literally have to count to ten and fire your shotgun. But there are cool ones like the Grinding maps, where they just shove non-attacking demons at you with a BFG in your hands.
Besides the community Maps or the Featured ones, the creation kits are awesome! It's a bit confusing at first, but it's easy to remember how everything works. The map mechanics are just amazing, the creative ideas that can be done in them are magnificent, and the provided items that you can mess with are just fun! I made my own map called Playing in the Dark. It was really fun to make! If you guys want to play it, here's the code to search it: B2VHRWPP. Hope you have fun with it.
Overall, the game has smooth movements, the kills are so satisfying, and the game is so much fun. If you're the type of guy or gal that doesn't care about story or conflict, this game doesn't care you do or don't, it just wants you to just have fun. If you are those guys and gals that want to know what's going one in this bizarre world in hell, then the game provides you with lore and story of who you are and what this UAC is doing for the sake of the company. Little spoil of the game's lore, You are Doom Guy.
Well, time to rate this game, I would give it a 10/10 for great and long lasting gameplay, and a 10/10 for giving me the greatest time of my life in terms of gameplay. What did you think of the game? How far are you in the game? Have you made a map of your own yet? You can tell me, but as usual...
