Doom RPG Review

I have been playing the Doom RPG on my cell phone for the last few months off and on. I gotta say it has been a very rewarding experience. The game is clearly targeting the older school gamers like myself, but that's a good thing in my book.






















Graphics: The Doom RPG graphics are very similar to the old PC game, but not everything is animated as the game has a turn based engine. That being said, many people who I have showed the game (I have been running it on my Sony Ericcson K850i) have thought the graphics were "great".

Sound: Again like the graphics, the sound harkens heavly back to the original Doom and Doom II games. Since most people who are playing cell phone games typically keep the sound off this isn't a big issue regardless of if the sound is good or not.

Gameplay: This game is a typical turn based RPG. Most of the levels consist of talking to a few arguably nerdy scientists, firguring out a passcode or two, finding a few new weapons, and killing a crap load of zombies and their buddies. I thought the level design was very entertaining (especially to a programmer like myself.) I also enjoyed the nerd jokes many of the scientists have to offer. I found some of the weapons also pretty cool, including one very creative one that mind controls dogs and lets you use them as a weapon.

In conclusion: If you like Doom, RPGs, and goofy humour you'll love this game. If you don't, I wouldn't even bother touching it.
