Title: Great graphics but lousy gameplay.
Review: The graphics for Doom are the best anywhere right now (assuming you have the flashlight turned on so you can see them). Most of the time the game is pitch black so you demons can jump out at you. Initially the demons were frightening, then the simple A.I. became boring, then it became anoying. The enemy is very predictable except for some of the scripted events.The flashlight was annoying because it could not be used along with weapons. You have to lower your weapon everytime you use it. (Mods are available to fix this, but the game seems to be centered on leaving you in almost pitch black to make it frightening. Without the default flashlight set up the suprises are minimal.)I quickly found the gameplay becoming boring because it is very similar to the original Doom. Personally I prefer more tactics in my gameplay. Halo 2 and Half-Live 2 look better, but I look forward to the Doom engine being used on future games with better gameplay and A.I.
