 From an original Doom BBS moderator from back in the day…, By
Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: Doom – Xbox One (Video Game)
This ain’t no slow down and peek around corner game….this is DOOM where you go all out and run through the exploding pool of blood of your enemy you just smoked.
Amazing. This game arrived today and I have been playing it non-stop ever since. I’m an original Doom BBS moderator from way back when (like, dialing in via modem and being able to be invisible on death match boards) and have to say while this isn’t any where near the same game from then…in a crazy way it is: Run, shoot, kill, wipe the blood from your brow and repeat. The sound track or whatever you want to call that relentless bass as you blow enemies away is AMAZING Put on your best headphones or turn up the volume on your sound system and get the pulse pounding full effect from not only your guns, glory kills but also the "soundtrack" Graphics are so far very, very nice. While I don’t spend a lot of time scanning the scenery, from what I’ve seen while spraying bits of demons everywhere, it is well done. The ability to mod weapons is a great addition. Controls are tight, my gameplay is super smooth and frankly, I absolutely love this game!

Best FPS available on Xbox One, By

This review is from: Doom – Xbox One (Video Game)
Just wow… Bethesda and ID software have done a fantastic job with this game. In my opinion, as long as you don’t mind some blood and gore, this is the best FPS available for xbox one for both single player and multiplayer. I will break them down further separately.
Campaign: Multiplayer: They really simplified the standard FPS experience that other companies use in this day and age and made it play more like a real arena shooter. There are no gimmicky abilities, wall running, jetpacking, sprinting, or super powers that give players cheap ways to get kills (basically all the annoying stuff they added to Halo and COD). They stripped it down and made it about what shooters are supposed to be about, shooting other people with guns and having to actually aim those guns. They do have this demon rune feature which is the only thing i am not really a fan of yet where one person on the map gets to transform into a demon and then wreak havoc. There is some strategy to it and it is fun to use but it would need to be removed for the game to have more of a competitive feel. Overall, gunplay is great and the game is fast-paced and rewards players that know how to aim and strafe properly. Armor customization…. HOT DAMN. The amount of armor customization available to the player is truly incredible. Want to be a shiny plastic looking action figure with bright colors? not my style but sure go for it. Want to be a rugged beat up soldier with scratches and dirt? now we’re talking. Want to have an alien head and body with a weird robot right arm, and an alien left arm? whatever floats your boat. Seriously, I cannot believe how in depth they went with this, the options are endless. Every color has a matte, glossy, and metallic option as well as 3 different darkness options once you select the color. On top of that every color can be "weathered". Also, you can do the same thing for your guns! The one feature I have not tried yet is the Snap Map mode so I can’t comment too much on that but I have heard great things. It basically allows you to build your own maps and gamemodes. Also, it lets you publish them for others in the community to play and experience. I have heard of CTF style games, horde/survivor modes, and other things already created by community members. I can’t wait to dive into this once there is a bunch of community created content. If you like shooters this game is for you. If you dislike the most recent launch of "next gen" shooters that added a bunch of parkour moves and super abilities that get in the way of actually using your gun, then this game is especially for you.

New polish on an old school CLASSIC, By
C. Floyd (Virginia) – See all my reviews
This review is from: Doom – Xbox One (Video Game)
*purchased via digital download*
I have been a DOOM fan since being introduced as a kid via floppy disk. Fortunately my preorder gifted the original first two! I played these in the hours prior to launch and it was just as fun and challenging today. Once the game unlocked I was immediately hooked. You must move to survive. The graphics and presentation are great as well as the sound track. If you want a fast pace shooter without reloading or sprinting amongst an absolutely brutal theme this is a must buy. The gun play and brutal takedowns are extremely satisfying. If you are a classic doom fan you will appreciate the hidden levels scattered throughout. Really happy with how this turned out! |

|Best FPS available on Xbox One,
Campaign:
Stunning graphics and fantastic art style. Maybe its just me but I am sick of all these shooters getting released where the armored characters look like shiny plastic toys with bright colors everywhere. It was nice to see extra effort and attention put towards the art style in this game. To go along with the great graphics and art was well-thought out and complex level design. They managed to create some great 3D labyrinths which reminded me enough of the original Doom while still feeling fresh. Also, there are plenty of secrets and easter eggs to find which really add to the replay value. Every time after I finish a level I think to myself, “I can’t wait to go back and play that one again and find all the secrets I missed!” Pretty unique for games these days. The current trend is towards online multiplayer and the campaign is just there because they are supposed to have one and need to “check the box”, which is completely NOT the case with Doom.
Multiplayer:
This portion of the game really surprised me. I was loving the campaign and after about 4 missions i decided to try out the MP (where i typically spend 99% of my time in FPS style games). After 2 games I wasn’t sold and went back to the campaign to play another mission. After that I didn’t have enough time to do another mission so back to the MP I went. After about 5 games I was in love.
