Williams and ID Software teamed up to bring the hottest PC action game to the Nintendo 64. Doom incorporates texture-mapped 3D rooms, multiple weapons, challenging enemies, and surreal sound into one of the most heralded games ever. Players move from area to area, through narrow passageways, vaulted rooms, and dark tunnels on their quest. The concept is basically "good vs. evil" in which you, as a representative of good, must seek out and defeat alien demons.
The Nintendo 64 version of Doom contains new levels, enemies, and enhanced graphics not available in any other version. There are 32 levels in all, but many are accessible only through finding all the secret exits in other levels. Parts of each level are straight-forward: if it moves, shoot it. But you'll also have to find keys, hit switches, and keep track of your location. A switch may open one door, but close another.
Weapons vary, and you must find the more powerful weapons as you play. The Pistol and Shotgun are o.k., but you'll do much better against some enemies with the Super Shotgun, Chain Gun, Rocket Launcher, Plasma Gun, BIG 9000, or Laser. The Chainsaw works great when you're in close, but don't try to use your bare fists unless you've found a Berserk Patch.
The enemies in this game are very dark. You will face Zombiemen, Specters, Pain Elementals, Imps, Hell Knights, and many others on your way to the final confrontation with the Mother Demon. Doom 64 is not for the faint of heart!
DOOM 64 picks up where all the other DOOM games left off. After tearing through space, hell, and wherever else in the previous games, the Space Marine thought that the threat of the demons was finally past. Of course, one survived, and it is currently reanimating all of the fallen monsters in a last-ditch attempt to revitalize their evil mission. The player's task is to finally rid the universe of all the crazy hellions, from the dead guy with the pistol to the rocket-spewing Cyberdemon.
The game is very different from the original DOOM; it has entirely new sprites for the monsters, new textures, pseudo-3D effects (such as bridges), colored lighting, scrolling skies, and custom scripting which allows for effects such as morphing environments and spawning items. The levels are completely new. There are 32 levels in total, including several challenging "fun levels" which cannot be accessed in normal gameplay.
The enemy roster is similar to Doom II. Though several enemies from Doom II are not included, a new monster has been added: the "nightmare imp", which moves and attacks twice as fast as a regular imp. The end boss of the game is also new. The game features a new weapon, the Unmaker, which can be upgraded with "demon keys" found in secret levels.
The atmosphere of the game is even more grim than the original Doom games, in part due to the new soundtrack: instead of rockin' metal tunes, the music consists of creepy ambient sounds and drones.
The 2020 re-release adds seven new levels, including a six-level episode "The Lost Levels".
