Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - The only real interesting new feature are the great graphics
Other than that, everything else in the game is just plain BORING.

The main problem with this game is the levels; most all of them are small and enclosed. Though the other dooms had similar levels, they also had many large ones and many open spaces. Not so with Doom 64. I swear; save for the last level, there isn't 1, not even ONE level that has any large open space. Add to that the fact that the levels are pretty smal to begin with, and things just get worse.

Another problem is that the levels are too easy to beat; virtually none of them have any sort of "challenging" aspect at all.Those that do just failed to keep my interest like the older doom games.

Last, there are too few levels. I think the number comes to no more than 30.

This game also did not live up to its potential. There is only 1 new weapon (the laser). It would have been good if it weren't for the fact that its full potential can only be used in the very last level of the game. All before that, its barely better than the fist.

This game's graphics are amazing though. Its fun to run around and blast all those amazingly detailed enemies. But thats the only redeeming feature I saw, and in my opinion, its certainly not enough to save it.

Doom 64 for is good for a weekend rental at most. But if you want a quality Doom title, go for... well, virtually ANY other version of doom on ANY other system.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Stoneage graphics and gameplay
I can't honestly see why this game wasn't taken straight from the drawing board and chucked in the bin. If you want a monotonous, time-consuming, repetative and tedious waste of money with the graphics that make the Gameboy look hi-tech then this is the game for you.....but don,t say I didn't warn you !



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sooo scary
This game is really scary. After playing Quake it was strange goin to the system with no looking, no jumping....but instantly i got into this game. The level design is superb, implementing the hub design sometimes and the linear shoot and run design. Ambient noise will scare the crap out of you, i started sweating on level 7. There are also tons of tons of secrets, finding them makes the game more fun and easier if you get them. This game is very hard though, be prepared to die, or be very cautious. I say get it if you are a true fan, especially if you liked doom originally. I missed opening a door and having 35 imps firing at me, 4 polygonal characters in goldeneye just cant hold that fear. I say if you like doom, get it, turn off the lights, turn up the music, and blast away.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - A disgrace to the 3D-first person world and the N64 platform
I found this game to be not only a bad attempt at remaking Quake64, but a stupid and imcompetent one. Somethimes, a dark and grainy enviorment is necessary for a creepy enviorment, but the way Doom 64 exploits it just chews up the scenery. If you're looking for an effective horror game that used lighting, music, and gameplay correctloy, get Quake 64 or Quake 2
