Quite fun, but get's tiresome afterwards...

User Rating: 6 | Final DOOM PC
OK, Doom & Doom II were fun games. I REALLY mean fun. Doom was a masterpiece, it was a completely new change in the genre, so it doesn't have anything bad going for it. Doom 2 wasn't a masterpiece like Doom, mainly because of the same graphics and game play. However, it was still a great game because it introduced many new enemies and the Double Barrel Shotgun. We would all expect Final Doom to introduce new features, but alas it's more or less the same game.

Final Doom consists of two episodes: TNT Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment. Each episode consists of 31 of the most exhausting levels you'll ever play. The developers obviously tried to make this game much harder than it's predecessors. They have succeeded and that was a huge mistake. The levels were designed to be extremely large so that the developers could stuff in hundreds and hundreds of enemies. The damage the enemies or the environment does has been sightly increased. There are simply hundreds and hundreds of enemies. There are probably 4 times the amount of enemies Doom II had. It can be fun to mow them down in outside areas, but there are many tight corridors that can quickly get overcrowded, making it almost impossible to dodge the enemies attacks. In these situations the player will die several times, so saving your game often is the key to survival. Saving the game and finding health or armor packs becomes a chore, as the player will be under attack almost all the time. There is a 90% chance that once you enter a room, a wall will lift behind you containing several foes. There are no new weapons so you will have to rely on your old weapons (in which some cases aren't enough) to battle the armies of hell. The game is exactly the same as Doom II, just with an increased number of enemies and new levels. There's also the fact that it was released 2 years later. Only get it (if you can) if your body is crying out for more Doom. It can be quite fun at first, but it get's tiresome and can make you go numb and stiff. If you're willing to stand up to the forces of hell again, don't leave your Double Barrel Shotgun at home...
