DOOM - First Impressions

[Dutch]

Singleplayer is very solid and I had a blast but multiplayer is mediocre and doesn't have the same feel (because it was made by the same team responsible for new Halos and CODs). If we get a sequel I hope id makes the multiplayer too.

that sucks to hear, cause that was about 90% of the reason I wanted to buy it. Damn.

Saw some gameplay footage online...I've never wanted to upgrade my PC so bad. Looks legit. I about pissed myself when I saw the chainsaw in action. Fuck.Yes.

I'm really enjoying it. Its definitely fun and reminds me of doom/quake. The soundtrack really adds to it. Love the soundtrack.

Going to buy it today ;-)
I hear nothing but good stuff about this Doom version :-)

Yeah, I agree. Sound and music are absolutely great, btw.

For the first few levels, I thought it was strange that everything looked like Doom3 (more details of course, but very similar art style), but did not feel like it. The new Doom is about shooting lots of evil things in quick succession, not about being scared by noises while sneaking through dark corridors (because you are too dumb to attach your flashlight to your gun).

It did have a sort of scary atmosphere like DOOM 3 did due to the sound effects and some of the ambient music, but the gameplay was all about classic DOOM + new elements.

I really like the SP and agree with this.

Not really. I don't want to spoil any connection to any DOOM games, so interpret that how you will.

Good Review.
Should I finish Doom II before playing this one...
