Product Description

Amazon.com

Doom for the 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 cyberorganic creatures and nightmarish fiends 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. Or two players can team up to blast their way through single-player levels in cooperative mode.

Review

If you don't know what Doom is, you must be one of those weirdoes who 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, popularizing the whole first-person shoot-'em-up genre, and is thus the spiritual granddaddy of classics like Quake, Half-Life, GoldenEye 007, and even the more recent Halo. Indeed, the major draw for this portable version of Doom is the cloying wave of nostalgia it brings to hard-core gamers as they set about fighting the hordes of hell with a shotgun and a chainsaw. 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 deathmatch 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 (strafing works 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 has a 15 rating, is that the graphics are a bit jerky in places. This is presumably why the developers 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 -- Amazon.co.uk

Doom. Doom on Advance. What's not to like? The product came on time, no damage, label looks good, nothing chewed or anything. Inspected the gold contacts that actually interface with the gameboy, and no damage was found. Will be buying from this seller again. Runs with no problems on my finicky GBASP.

Just don't play this on your 32 inch TV in your Gameboy Player (Game cube). The resolution for the advance coupled with the size of the screen gave me a bit of eyestrain. But do it if you're a masochist :).

It's a portable version of Doom, what more could you want to know? Well I'll elaborate a little. If you had any worries about how the game runs, don't. The game runs fantastically at a smooth framerate, even when multiple enemies are on the screen. If the game does have one flaw it's that because of the GBA's lower resolution enemies far away can be a little difficult to make out. You quickly get used to this and it doesn't bother me any more.
Other differences between this version and the PC version:Blood is colored green for this version to keep the rating at teen. Also bodies disappear as soon as they hit the ground in order to conserve memory space. Finally the bosses from the PC version were removed, don't know why but it doesn't take away too much from the experience, unless you're a hardcore doom fan. If you can get your hands on a copy I highly recommend getting it.

Amazing game. True to the PC version

Amazing game. True to the PC version, everything's here. The only real problem with this version of the game is that the demons bodies disappear a few seconds after you frag them, but that's probably for performance reasons. Overall, Id give this port a 10/10. Definitely wish I had this version of the game during my childhood. :D

This version of Doom keeps me occupied for hours on end, and is great on the go. Much better than mobile touchscreen versions, and with the Gameboy's battery life and excellent control scheme (though a bit awkward at times), I feel like this is worth the $30 I paid for it used.

Slugish port of pc version

Like most people, I eagerly waited for doom to come out for gbc. Sadly, it never came. Years later, I opened up Nintendo Power, and saw an ad for doom on gba. Finally, I thought. So, I bought it off of amazon. Sadly, the previous owner didn't take good care of it, so I couldn't play it very affectively. I sold it to gamestop for someone else to be tricked into buying it. A few years later, I saw it on amazon. Hmmm.... looks nice. So I bought it, and let me say.... I'm kinda dissapointed.

The Good;
*Well, it's doom. Can't argue with that.
*I hated the controlls, but you can pick a diffrent controll layout.
*I haven't beaten it yet, but I found that most of my favorite levels were still there.

The Bad;
*They cut out the cybie and spider battle.
*The graphics are... balls.
*The save and load screen tells you the level your on, not the name though. (Ex. "L8" instead of "tower of babel".)
*I felt like even on Nightmare mode, that I was rushing through the levels in like 3 minutes a piece. (Of course, I'm beast at Doom.)
*The music was terrible. (beep beep beep bop, beep beep beep bop) compared to (AWESOME GUTAIR SOLO) on the SNES.
*It wasn't even it's own port! It was a direct port of the Atari Jaguar version I believe.

I would suggest the Xbox live version. Alot of people think that Doom 2 on gba was better than Doom 1 on gba.... but thats because it is. So, if you want a version of Doom to ENJOY today.... find a different version.
