Doom II is what we know today as a Classic. Everything about Doom II was amazing around it's time, and even the gameplay is still considered amazing today. What could be more fun than utter carnage in an FPS game? Mars is invaded by a hellish army of mutants, zombified soldiers, and the like. It is up to you to hoarde of the incoming monsters and send them back to where they came from. Although the story is simple and throughout the game you only ever experience about three screens of text describing what's going on, it doesn't really matter to a game of such high standard. What is lost in the story is made up for in terms of gameplay. The graphics are a mix between 2D and 3D. The enemies and weapons appear 2D, but the actual background itself is 3D. Although it may seem a little out-of-place compared to todays standards, at the time it was a great leap into the three dimensional universe. Where would a FPS be without a stockpile of weapons? Doom II features six different weapons, ranging from a chainsaw to the massively destructive force of the BFG. The weapons are greatly associated with the gameplay, and add another aspect to the diverse world of Doom II. Doom II features a very intriguing multi-player network system. Several players can log onto the network to participate in co-operative missions or a deathmatch. The multi-player system can keep you entertained for hours on end. The game features an entertaining soundtrack which adds to the feel of the game. What's more, the sound effects were excellent for it's time as well. Doom II is considered one of the greatest games of all time. Even nowadays it is well worth purchasing. Now you can even buy a triple pack containing Doom, Doom II, and Final Doom. If you haven't played this all-time classic, now is the time!
