AGH Jaguar Review: DOOM
by Atari
At long last, the PC blockbuster has finally made its way
to the Jaguar, and the folks at Id software have pulled
now punches in keeping in all the blood, gore and demonic
references of the original IBM game. Armed with chainsaw,
shotgun and many other cool weapons, 3D corridor shooter
fans can now experience the thrill of wandering through
23 levels of blasting away at hordes of ghoulish monsters.
You can pick up various items such as bigger and badder
weapons, ammo and better armor to better aid you in your
adventure through dark halls taking potshots at demons,
imps and barons of hell.
Since this is nothing more than a port of the PC game.
closeup shots of enemies are pixelated and blocky, and
they're not animated much either. The controls seem
to be a bit more sluggish compared to its PC counterpart,
but that's probably more a result of being stuck with
using a directional pad than anything else. All of the
action and appeal of PC Doom, however, is thankfully
all here and should satisfy those who enjoy uncomplicated
gaming and slaughtering bad guys.
