Xbox LIVE Addicts: DOOM II Review - Xbox LIVE Addicts

Imagine it you were lucky enough to get DOOM, you've played it and played it over and over. It gets better every time, then you hear a rumour DOOM II is out.

A week later your walking, no, skipping out of the store with DOOM II in your hands, you feel like the luckiest person on the planet and cannot wait to get home to play your new game.

You may have thought the days of early 3D graphics were over, well no! Bethseda to the rescue, asthey have revived the grandfather of Call Of Duty, Batlefield, MAG and just about any game in the FPS genre.

So what has changed and what is it like to play DOOM II? Read on to find out!

In DOOM IIthe graphics have been slightly improved, to support HD, but they still stand at their original state. But in all honesty, you tottally forget about the lack of quality, you feel like you are in the game and it feels amazing.

DOOM II still feels like th ebest game ever, still as addictive as before, if not more. You become immersed in the game and lose all track of time, never wanting to stop adding to the pile of bodies, never wanting to stop jumping as you turn a corner and get shot!

So we have established that this is still the amazing game it used to be, but whats changed?

Well there is now multiplayer, 4 player deathmacth, pitting you against three other players in a full on battle to the finish! While not the busy, amazing multiplayer experience we are used to, it is still very fun!

There is also Co op, allowing you to group up into a team of four and help eachother out, or just die a lot! So you've finished the campaign on your own, but you havn't done it with four of you, well you will want to! Just open every door possible and then the fun really begins!

Although great this game does have one flaw, but is easily over come, the control scheme, there is no in-game tutorial teaching you all the controls. This can leave you confused at times, but simply enter the pause menu and look at the controls!

While you may have thought DOOM was dead, it is not, it's better than ever.

We give DOOM II a XBLA Review Rating of 8/10!

Be sure to buy it! You will love it!
