- 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.
- Stoneage graphics and gameplay
- Sooo scary
- A disgrace to the 3D-first person world and the N64 platform
