What Gamespot Users have to say about DOOM (1993)

  • Rating:10

    Doom is purely gaming excellence that is impossible to match.

    Doom is seriously one of those games where you look at the front cover of the game and just immediately beg to get your hands on it. Eventually your loves ones or your parents buy it for you just to shut you up and then ... Read Full Review

    A trip down memory lane worth taking.

    Most of you guys probably know a thing or two about "DOOM," whether it's from playing the original 1993 classic or the excellent 2016 remake and 2020 sequel that I'd argue are both in the masterclass of modern first-pers... Read Full Review

    DOOM

    Doom was one of those games that permanently changed the standards of the video game industry forever. Some might say that it was the first 3D shooter ever, which of course is not true, Wolfenstein 3D came before it, but... Read Full Review

    I think I may have a DOOM addiction.

    OMG. I just discovered this game on PSX and it's 2018. Probably hands down the most addicting video game I've ever played. I almost am dissapointed because I had other games I still wanted to finish soon, but I can't put... Read Full Review

    An Essential Game, At Its Time

    Doom was for many years the best and one of very few FPS games. I played it on SNES, strafing using R and L, and it wasn't such a big deal, since at this point shooters didn't require for you to aim up and down, we just... Read Full Review

    If you don't have a problem with touch controls, Doom Classic is an excellent port.

    Being the Doom fanboy that I am, it was inevitable that I was going to download Doom Classic for my iPhone 4 from the App Store, and I'm pretty sure the game is compatible with older iPhone models as well as the iPad. Of... Read Full Review

    Believe it or not, but the Saturn port's biggest flaw is it's horrible framerate. And there's no excuse for it.

    With the endless number of Doom console ports out there, some are destined to be failures. And with the hardware limitations of console ports such as the SNES and 32X versions of Doom, you can expect them to be sub-par w... Read Full Review

    You cannot deny what this game did.

    This is perhaps one of the best games that has ever come out...Back in the day that is. I'm not sure but I don't think that any young people are going to play this game and understand its true value which is why I gave i... Read Full Review

    The one that started it all.

    Arguably, FPS is the game genre that I most like. And for that matter, Doom was the game that started it all. And also it was the game that spread FPS genre. Wasn`t the first one of it`s style, but without any doubt the... Read Full Review

    Doom is reborn on the Playstation.

    Ah! Doom. Good: Includes both Doom and Doom 2, has improved lighting and sounds/music, best console version of Doom. Bad: Controlls are worse then on the PC, framerate and draw distance is not always good, uses a p... Read Full Review
