Doom for Game Boy Advance retains the immersive 3-D experience and onslaught of horrific demons that made the PC version a classic. It pits you against cyber- creatures and nightmarish demons as you blast your way through 24 levels. Armed with eight weapons, you must navigate treacherous architecture, avoid traps, and use power-ups in a battle of skill and firepower. The game features multiplayer support through the Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable: two to four players can test their mettle through all of the single-player levels and an additional eight dedicated multiplayer levels. And two players can team up to blast their way through single-player levels in co-operative mode. .co.uk Review ------------- If you don't know what Doom is, you must be one of those weirdoes that had something better to do with their time in the summer of 1993 than play PC games. Doom is one of the most influential games of all time and popularised the whole first-person shoot-'em-up genre, and is thus the spiritual grandaddy of classics such as Quake ( /exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=video-games-uk&field-keywords=quake/${0} ), Half-Life ( /exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=video-games-uk&field-keywords=half%20life/${0} ), GoldenEye ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004TY71/${0} ) and even the recent Halo ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005RHR9/${0} ). Indeed, the major draw for this portable version is the cloying wave of nostalgia it brings to hardcore gamers as they set about the hordes of hell with a and a chain saw. This is an almost-perfect conversion of the original (or at least the original running on an average speed PC of the time) that even manages to include a four-player death match and a cooperative two-player mode. The music is the same, the level design is the same and best of all the gameplay is the same, with strafing working surprisingly well on the GBA's shoulder buttons. The only problem with the game, other than the inexplicable use of green blood even though it's got a 15 rating, is that the graphics can be a bit jerky in places. Which is presumably why the developers have had to ditch the two huge end-of-level bosses from the second and third episodes. In general, though, this is a technical tour de force that will have any remaining GBA doubters reaching for their wallets. --David Jenkins P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Manufacturer's Description -------------------------- Doom Advance challenges gamers to assume the role of a lone Space Marine who must rid a Martian moon of an army of gruesome, hell-spawned creatures that have invaded it. Equipped with an explosive arsenal of weapons including chains, plasma s and rocket launchers, players will face off against demons and nents through 24 enormous single-player levels and eight dedicated multiplayer s. In addition, players can team up with a friend and blast through Doom Advance's maze of levels in cooperative mode. See more ( javascript:void(0) )
