Doom 2010 (PC) By Activision

Doom is back, and what a comeback it is by Activision. The previous had the audience and the gamers all around the globe mesmerized with its stunning graphical sci-fi representation of the future. This one uses a heavier and far better 3D engine to design the environment, the best part being that it does an excellent job at it.

The game is a first player shooter where you are a space marine of the 22nd century without a name or a voice. The details of the 3D environment are awesome and so realistically unrealistic. The game places as you as a problem solver for the Union Aerospace Corporation, the problem being forces of hell. The weapons that are at your disposable from futuristic models of machine guns, shotguns, to those of rocket launchers and the like. You are supposed to single handedly fight off the monstrous obstacles and complete levels to finish the game. On the normal difficultly level an average player can finish the game in about 15 to 20 hours which is a good lengthy piece considering other first player shooters.

THE LOOPHOLES
The game is however not that fascinating and get a little dull after a while, considering the hero being without any identity. This is one reason the game lacks out on the story line part which is supposed to be the main area of expansion when we take into account the success of one player shooter games.
Also is the striking similarity which the monsters share with their ancestors in the previous versions. It seems like deliberate attempt by the developers to maintain the old monster structures. The narrative of the entire game is also not that impressive. There are moments where our hero has this ghastly and sudden flash of past or something that the future holds which do keep the gamers on their toes but then again a break comes due to lack of a proper story.

Doom 2010 is being rated somewhere around an 8 by various game critics and the consumers seem to agree. What don’t try it out and form a personal opinion?
