DESCRIPTION
A lone space marine must battle an onslaught of demonic creatures in id Software's sci-fi follow-up to Wolfenstein 3D. Use your fists or equip one of seven weapons, from a pistol and shotgun to a chainsaw and rocket launcher, to battle groups of imps, zombies, and other hell spawn. Ride elevators, throw switches, and collect keycards to advance, all while avoiding traps such as crushing ceilings and acid pools. Like Wolfenstein 3D, the action takes place from a first-person perspective, with your character's head displayed along with his health, ammo, and armor on the bottom of the screen. Doom for Xbox Live Arcade supports four-player deathmatches and two-player cooperative gaming, either through Xbox Live or via split screen on the same system. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“A PIECE OF GAMING HISTORY THAT EVERY FPS FAN SHOULD AT LEAST TRY. DOOM was one of the first games I ever played. It was the one game that my dad actually payed for. I would spend hours in the home office after school blasting away on the computer. At the time I had to use every cheat in the game to win but I was 7, give me a break. Now the room that used to be the office is now my room. 16 years later I am sitting in the same room, in the same spot, playing the same game. The nostalgia factor is ridiculous. Compared to the games of today DOOM is hilariously simple. No Y-axis control, no deciding which weapon to carry into the next room, no taking cover to regain stamina. No story as well, but you can't really blame them for that. At the time there was no room for extra fluff like 'story,' aside from a couple of paragraphs in the book and a text screen at the end of each episode. At the same time, the games of today wouldn't exist without DOOM. The port to the 360 was done very well. The dual analog sticks make circle strafing a reasonable maneuver, as on the PC you couldn't strafe and turn at the same time. The inclusion of a 4th episode initially confused me, since it wasn't included in the original release that I played in my youth. The levels in Thy Flesh Consumed are all much harder than the original levels, and were refreshing for someone like myself who had played through the whole game several times before. The graphics and music can start to get on your nerves pretty quickly, so most people probably won't finish the first episode, but it's a part of gaming history that every FPS fan should at least try.”

“I'm only rating this a 4 instead of a 5 because this is the Xbox version. The XBLA port of this game has proven to me that these oldskool shooters do NOT belong on consoles. "Hang on, let me spend 10 seconds turning around." Eesh.”
