Doom 64 - Game

Excellent port of the N64 classic, and a true continuation of the original games. Well worth checking out if your a fan of the genre

Not much, it's a classic, so if you haven't played it yet, buy it and play it. You won't regret it.

The darkest and most atmospheric game in the franchise to this day. The plot is simple and follows on directly from Doom 2, a single monster has survived your rampage, regenerated and has created a new army of monsters to ruin your day. Gameplay wise its basically the same as all the other Doom games with the exception being a higher emphasis on puzzle solving throughout its 30 level campaign, these range from simple switch puzzles to time based platforming. These will not only you complete levels but will also help you into locating the 4 secret levels and gathering the 3 artifacts needed in order to power up the lone new weapon in this game, The Unmaker. The Unmaker is a laser based weapon that when fully upgraded can decimate entire rooms of enemies and even cyberdemons with ease so the artifacts are well worth collecting if you want a significantly easier experience. While the other weapons are basically the same as they are in the earlier games the chaingun and rocket launcher now give you pushback so make sure to not be near a pit when you fire them. The monster selection has seen a slight decrease in this game compared to the rest of the classic ones, there are no Chaingunners, Revenants, Spider Masterminds or Arch-Viles and while i never liked Arch-Viles and Spider Masterminds were always rare, the lack of Chaingunners and Revenants can definitely be felt at times since the game likes to make heavy use of Hell Knights and Barons, the level design and atmosphere more than make up for this shortcoming however. While this 30 level campaign does have its fair share of decent tech base levels, most of it takes place in Hell and these hell levels are some of the most well designed and atmospheric hell levels that you will play in any Doom game. From ever changing level design in maps such as Breakdown and Pitfalls to atmospheric and dark masterpieces like Altar of Pain and Dark Citadel it is an experience that you wont forget. Much of this atmosphere can be mostly attributed to the genius of Aubrey Hodges and his terrific ambient soundtrack sets the perfect tone for the journey that you will take. The visuals also set the perfect tone for the much darker game that you will play and the ever changing architecture is bolstered by all the satanic imagery littered throughout the levels, monsters also have a more menacing look to them and some of them can even look quite creepy such as the Pain Elemental. The new levels are also a definite welcome...

Of the old Doom games, I think Doom 64 is the most fun. Somehow the old school guns still feel fun to shoot - especially the shotgun. Great sound effects on the shotgun too. Would be cool it they did a remake where you could (and needed to) aim up and down, but I wouldn't really change a whole lot other than that. The Dooms older than 64 are harder for me to go back to, but something about Doom 64 is very comfortable and invited... and still FUN!

when i got this it was the only game NOT on Steam that was a part of one of their groupings of games. bad on me for not noticing it was only for bethesda. if this game was available on Steam it would be 5 stars and i would recommend it

Very fun game, runs perfectly fine on older PCs too
