The first novel reads mostly like the author was playing through the first game, pausing occasionally to Alt-Tab to his word processing app and type up whatever had just happened on-screen. "But the fireballs were the main problem; the brown demons were a lot tougher than the zombies. Suddenly, I was grateful for the pillars; they provided cover, at least. Making a mad dash for the nearest, I fired off the shotgun at the remaining zombies."
The second is about Hell on Earth, with the Doomguy, a female Marine, a Mormon, and that kid from Aliens going on a covert mission. It's probably the the most respectable in the series, though only in very relative terms.
The last two leave sanity behind by making the demons out to actually be artificial creations of aliens named Freds designed to wipe out mankind, partially out of fear because humans are the only intelligent species in the universe that can die while every other race is totally immortal, partially as part of a twelve-million-year war over literary criticism. People will turn into giant hairy masses of protoplasm and two-bodied entities named after department store chains will officiate weddings on Pluto.
The above paragraph was in no way sarcastic.
