Initial Impressions Of Doom’s Campaign – Fast & Brutally Brilliant

Pixelgate writes:

''With Doom review copies being tricky to get a hold of, there’s not much to draw opinions from. The Beta put off a fair amount of people, including myself, making Doom a curiosity more than an anticipated release. The following is initial impression based purely on four hours with the single player.''

I have been loving it. Fast, brutal, and so much fun.

PixelGateUk2904d ago

i love the level design, so classic but still modern

Phil322904d ago

Ooh! A mix of classic and modern sensibilities in the level design, then? That sounds awesome!

Muadiib2904d ago

I'm so glad they brought back the exploration. The game oozes confidence.

Miguelitons2904d ago

Looks like I have to get this one, sounds like fun!

It is worthy of the name. I have read some negative reviews from users on metacritic. You can tell they have never played the game from their comments.

Some of them are justified, for me it just does not feel like the Doom, none of those spine chilling moments.

Also like how they push you to check every nook and cranny for secrets and mods. Love finding weapons earlier than if i just sped through the levels.

The suit upgrades pop up in some random places but it does add rewards to just looking around. Most of the time i find them trying to pull of jump executions

Those little pop figures too, not to mention the levers that unlock the original doom levels. This is one of the most intense games i have played in a while. Kill or be killed...so simple and so much fun.

What I have loved as well as the detail level is how you feel like a badass when you go on a blast fest. That is until something comes along to humble you. There is a sense of immersion as unlike most one man army games, you see a purpose behind what you are doing.
