Doom II: Hell on Earth

The Doom series is one of the most exciting first person shoot em up video games! The characters, monsters, and the action makes this game a fun non-stop playing time! Below is a brief look how I think the game is!

Game Play: The game play is very good. There is really basic controls here and is easy to perform. Novice gamers should have a good time here!

Graphics: The graphics are wonderful especially for the first Nintendo. The backgrounds are really beautiful!

Difficulty: The game is easy but as it goes on you find out that it will become more difficult!

Music: The music is great! Just fantastic catchy tunes through out the game! In My opinion its some of the best music ever in a video game!

Sound: The sound is great. Nuff said!

Overall: I have always loved Doom II! If you like excellent shoot em up games then I strongly recommend you play this game!

This was one great game! The soundtrack keeps you motivated to fight. The level design kind of makes up for the limited number of creatures to fight. This is kind of uneven. Some of the middle levels were harder than the latter. It could have been spaced more evenly. But the experience is gritty. Considering that this was the early 90's, I'm surprised they pulled this off. The quality is astounding for what they had to work with. All the controls are tight. The way the sprite bobs when you walk. The ending was disappointing. It just became a very hard 3D platformer, when they could have just added another character.

Doom II in a lot of ways feels more like an expansion than it does an entirely independent game and though I don't think it's quite as consistent as its predecessor, that doesn't stop it from being a hell of a fun time and a worthy follow up to arguably one of the most influential games of all time.

The levels are bigger, more complex. There's essentially twice the amount of demons to slaughter, both in number and variation, with inclusions such as the Revenant, Hell Knight, Pain Elemental, Mancubus, Arch-Vile and Arachnotron being introduced into the franchise. The music is just as bangin' as ever with Bobby Prince returning to compose and we get a brand new toy to play with in the form of the iconic Super Shotgun, a tool synonymous with both the franchise and its protagonist.

Step back into the gore-drenched boots of the Doomguy, avenge your beloved Daisy and save the Earth from demonic invasion.

Doom II feels like a refinement and though it's difficult to stand side by side with the cultural Goliath that was Doom (1993), its important to remember that the franchise would not be what it is today had it not been for this game.

8/10.

Doom-2 was a unique game in the sense that it was really a direct addon or extension to the original Doom game without changing much of the original settings and engine, weapons or enemies. However, with some great level design, a creepy soundtrack and very challenging battle sequences, I would still maintain that this game was actually more fun and scarier than Doom-3. Doom-2 offered only one new weapon, the double barrelled shotgun but it included a huge load of new and tougher enemies. As with the Doom, there was very little story but this was excusable since one really didn't expect much of a story during those times. If you grew up during the late 80s or 90s, you would have surely played this game but for the guys who have'nt, I'll just say that you've missed out on a big gaming experience.

Kudos to the creators who made this awesome game. I still play sometimes at the age of 24 and guess what? Same nostalgic feelings comes whenever I play this game. Doom and blood are the games that can't be created again.
