This would have been a ho-hum port of a game that's already been ported to at least a dozen platforms over the years, but it's DOOM's online action which really makes it soar.

At the time this was released, it blew people's minds and nearly everyone played it. The innovation doesn't hold a candle to today's games, but it carries over nicely as an Arcade title.

Doom is the rarest of retro games, in that you can enjoy it just as much as you did when it was first released. Better still, you can appreciate it with the benefit of 20-20 hindsight, and see not only how enormously influential it is, but how perfect its design was from the very beginning.

It's one of the most symbolic, enduring and entertaining games of all time and its transition to Xbox Live Arcade is only let down by the occasional lag of online play.

There is no other shooter that could be more exciting to have on Xbox Live Arcade then Doom.

While other faithful ports of have seen their fair share of action on Live already, Doom trumps them all with its intense action and countless secrets.

Still brilliant, even by today's standards. [Dec 2006, p.99]

Doom has more personality than "Halo"...you know it's true. [Issue 13, p.116]

DOOM is everything you could have hoped for on the Xbox 360. Is it flawless? No, but it is damn close. Easily the best Xbox Live Arcade Marketplace game out there, Geometery Wars included.

Doom remained young at heart. (...) Doom´s speed, the simple but highly energetic movement, its wicked and labyrinthine levels are something that no Call of Duty, no Halo, no Killzone, not even a RAGE can offer.
