    Another amazing quality of this beyond awesome game, is that the guns basically aim for themselves, so you just point and shoot.

    Go ahead and buy Doom II - if you think you can take the heat. [Dec 1994, p.134]

    A dark, disturbing game. And while it may not bring anything new to the genre, it can create obsession-level loyalty if you tend not to look beyond the barrel of a gun.
  4. All Game Guide

    In addition to multiple difficulty settings and configurable graphics and controls, DOOM II features online support. You can challenge opponents via modem, LAN or a supported IPX protocol to a brutal, no holds barred deathmatch competition.
  5. Computer Games Magazine

    If you don't have DOOM II and you've got a Win95 P90Mhz or above, this is the best version to buy! For beginners, it makes loading those .WAD files as simple as pointing and clicking, and setting up a multiplayer game is just as easy.

    Carmacks and Romeros masterpiece. Ahead of its time. The very first series that got me into First person shooters. It is simple & fun. If theCarmacks and Romeros masterpiece. Ahead of its time. The very first series that got me into First person shooters. It is simple & fun. If the world would go under and someone would ask me what game would i choose to have with me this would be the answer. Midi music from godlike bands like Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, AC/DC and many more just made you addicted. I dont care that people say Catacombs or Wolfenstein put shooters into the map. In my eyes this will always be the revolutionary fps game of all time.… Expand

    Excellent game, especially for the time. Improved a lot from the first from more diverse enemies to level design. Some levels can be very annoying (hint - Map24 Chasm), and some rooms seem kind of pointless, but nevertheless, you will have fun playing this. The combat is just so fun.    … Expand

    Well it could be good and I really tried to like but I couldn't. That double barrel shotgun is nice though.
