- Review by Tim Storm
-
- Well I know most people have played the demo of this game but what does
- the full version have to offer? Let me tell you its got loads of kewl
- stuff. This IS Doom on the Amiga. The main let down is the screen size
- which is about 1/3 of the normal screen size so its a bit small but once
- your in the thick of it it don't really matter.
-
- The weapons the weapons tell me about the weapons....
- Well you have the Shotgun, Plasma Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Grenade
- Launcher erm and another one that has slipped me mind :-/ The weapons are
- on screen unlike Gloom and fully animated unlike Fears and just brill,
- the sound and anim of the shot gun is great.
-
- The monsters the monsters tell me about the monsters.....
- Well the monsters might come as a surprise to some as so far I've not
- found the Alien (you know the one from the 2D Alien Breed games) but have
- seen hounds from hell, some sort of Storm Troopers and a very strange and
- deadly Snake type man? Also there are a few one off monsters like a
- At-At from Star Wars and a weird monster that looks like a dirty dust bin
- that spews small homing missile/monsters at you?
-
- Tell me about the levels, the levels tell me.....
- Ok there are 16 levels and each level gets bigger and bigger and harder
- and harder as you go along. One really kewl effect are the levels with
- water in them, this effect has to be seen to be appreciated. The sounds
- in the game are the best in any of the Doom rip offs so far and the
- explosions are just gob smaking!
-
- Does it support the CD32 control pad on the A1200?
- Yes it does and let me tell you this if you are going to buy this game
- for the A1200 and you don't yet have a CD32 then buy a CD32 type control
- pad as it makes the game much easier to controll. The game makes full
- use of every button on the pad and is a joy to use. If more software
- houses took this approach things would be so much better.
-
- So whats the catch it sounds too good to be true?
- Well the only catch is the size of the screen its a bit small and why
- couldn't Team 17 make it adjustable? That said this is the best Doom
- style game on the Amiga at the present time and thats no lie.
-
- Team 17 have done it again, another brilliand game.
