It's not just an amazing port of my favourite game ever, it's also the best GBA game ever.

Doom 2 on PC is my favourite game of all time. So naturally I went out and bought this GBA port. I was expecting the game to be great, but not amazing...I expected it to have a few missing levels and enemies like the first GBA Doom. But nope, Torus Games put a lot of effort into this port and included EVERY enemy and EVERY level. Even the secret Wolfenstein levels are there!

Is there anything missing? Well there's about 1 or 2 music tracks missing and that's it. Big deal. In fact, who cares? The multiplayer's there too- co-op mode and an excellent deathmatch. The graphcis have been improved since the first GBA Doom, there's way more textures and better lighting and the game looks like it's running at a higher resolution. Sound? Top-notch again. All the enemies are there so that means all the sound effects in that department are there plus there's all the gun shots and music.

There are 32 levels overrall which, although you probably will complete the game fairly quick, you'll just keep coming back for more. The only bad thing about Doom 2 for GBA are frame-rate issues that arent too bad anyway.

OK, so this version cant beat the PC version, but this is still the best GBA game I have ever played thanks to it's quality and features. I highly recommend it to any Doom fan, GBA owner or FPS fan.

Pros:
+Extremely close port of the PC original
+Contains everything from graphics, sound, enemies, levels...
+Excellent multiplayer

Cons:
-Frame-rate problems

    Doom was a revolutionary game when it was released for PC. It built upon its predecessor Wolfenstein 3D and defined the first person shooter genre for many years. You play as a marine sent to a doomed planet, trying to... Read Full Review
