  1. This steroid-pumped sequel works well.
  2. 85
    A must buy for any first person shooter fan - if only to learn a bit of history.
  3. It may not have next-gen graphics or a fantastic plot but it does play well, even after 16-years and once I started playing, I had to finish this game... one more time, in the 21st century.
  4. It’s certainly not as amazing as it once was sixteen years ago. But, it will scratch that itch if you feel nostalgic or if you have 800 Microsoft Points in your account begging to be spent.

  1. As the original Doom it is dated but still awesome a new weapon from Doom and all the classic weapons as well co-op and multiplayer with split-screen and xbox live and a brand new episode Doom II:No Rest For The Living which is fun but not as fun as the original game but still good and achievements as well. All for only 400 MSP Expand
  2. Played this game when it came with Doom 3. Very challenging and rewarding game just like the first one.
  3. you can clearly see the age but that doesn't mean it's bad. it's alot of fun to play and controls really good. the level design doesn't work that well with the core gameplay though but that's my only complaint. Expand
  4. wow, I can't believe I actually spent 7.5 pounds on this stupid piece of crap. i only played for 30 seconds and i quit, this game is just too dated and horrible from every conceivable perspective to be worth playing. 800 ms points? nice way to rip-off people MS! and how in the hell did this game get a 9 on eurogamer ? it may have goten a 9 two hundred years ago, when it was "state of the art" by those times standards, but by today's standards this game is 0. ZERO. the controls, the graphics, everything just plain sucks. Expand
