DOOM [Gameplay #6] - Science of the Damned
0After having made your way through the dimly lit industrial areas of the early levels and crawled around the infernal mountains of Hell, moving on to some shiny space laboratories provides a welcome change of scenery. None of DOOM's environments are particularly memorable or inventive as far as locations in a video game go, but that doesn't matter particularly much once that cheesy metal gets cranked up to 11, demons come crawling out of the woodworks and you pick up a gloriously overpowered BFG for the first time. I still think id Software should have ditched the dialogue and side characters altogether - since those elements distracts from the otherwise refreshingly focused gameplay formula of DOOM - but at least the story doesn't get in the way for very long before it's time to get back in the action again.
