  1. For either a first time fragger or a battle hardened veteran, Doom is simply superb. [GamesMaster]
  2. Unfortunately because of some limitations of the GBA console many features and characters have had to be left out and replaced. One of the most significant absentees is the final boss for the Inferno episode.
  3. Hands down, Doom is the best action game ever made for a portable system.
  4. At its very heart, it’s Doom, and the graphics can be bad, the music can stink the place out, and the Cyber Demon can be taken out, but there’s still that sick satisfaction that comes with blowing up a ring of barrels around a group of demons and watching them explode into a pile of goo.

    This game is the best made for the gba. Although it dosent have the spider guy thet was the last boss, nor does it have specrtas, this game is a true blast. Buckle up, the games graphics, overall control, and weapons will sure to be a great gift. It will also obsess you, it sure did me! Expand

    For a GBA game, the graphics are awesome! This game is a port of the original smash-hit PC version of DooM released about 1993. It's a fun shoot-em-up, with Hell-spawn demons to kill and maze-like levels to go through. Several aspects of the violence were cut out (why!?), but it retains the great gameplay of the predecessor. Buy this game! It's very rare now, so don't waste your chance if you ever find it! Collapse

    Doom on the PC rocked! Now it has been ported to the GBA. Some stuff has changed, like the music isn't in the right levels, not to mention the the blood is GREEN, but it is still a great shoot-everything-in-sight game that you will love! It even has multiplayer modes! Think about it--portable Doom is now! One of the best FPS's ever to hit GBA! Expand

    Doom is the seventh best FPS for the GBA and the second released for the system. Doom was first released for the PC back in 1993. The game was awesome. Eight years later the game is now portable. And yes, it is still awesome. Everything from the original is here except for some minor elements that don't detract from anything. Doom is back, back with a vengeance! Expand
