A classic. If you haven't played this game then you are a disgrace to First Person Shooters. Doom is seen by some as the first of its type, at the time of release, gamers were eager to get their hands on this game they had heard so much about, the game that was actually '3d'. Over a decade and a half on, many still get the same immense feeling of satisfaction when they blast the guts off a vicious zombie or fireball throwing imp. The makers, id, of the Doom series worked long and hard on the game and thought completely of the player when making decisions, whether they're about aesthetics, controls or just the sheer amount gore. The game has a huge 5 different difficulties which range from the 'easy' I'm too young to die, to the notoriously impossible Nightmare! setting. Most steer clear of the last difficulty altogether as it is incredibly hard to complete even simple levels on it. After selecting a difficulty, you must fight through 3 stages or the storyline each consisting of 8 - 9 levels and an exciting boss fight to finish.

If you do intend to buy the game, I suggest only looking for cheats after completing the game due to the fact that many find the game is not as fun when made easy. Also, If you really aren't sure whether it's your kind of game, you can download the shareware first stage of Doom from id software absolutely legally, however you must purchase the game if you want to play the other two stages.

Have fun playing this great game!

Summary: Certainly worth buying
