Doom for SNES
Review #141
Doom
Impressive port. Hellish performance.
Gameplay
Doom is a game I've played several times but never gotten into. I've seen the intro level and then moved on. This was my first real experience with it on any platform.
Controls are very slow but passable. Turning around takes a full 3 seconds so being surrounded is the worst thing possible. For this reason I generally walk tentatively into a room to catch the attention of baddies them retreat and lock them off as the come to investigate.
Auto aim makes the game playable but also kinda boring.
Only two guns after 4 levels... Are there more?
I could see playing this to the end, if only to say I've done it.
Level Design
Really nice levels. I never felt lost. Consistently gives you two paths to choose from so it's easy to backtrack and try option B after exploring option A.
Good variety as well, with memorable landmarks to help you navigate.
Theme
Immersive gameplay.
The FP perspective and fun in front are iconic and really effective at making you feel like a space marine.
Art Style
Ok impressive tech demo to be sure but wow is the resolution horrible. It's a pixelated mess. Also the game is insanely dark. There are times when the lights go out and the only way to navigate is too pause since it lightens the screen. Very strange.
Audio
Cool music with a unique track on every stage. Really enjoyed it although the sounds are minimal.
