Super Sonic DooM

Legendary Those sonic bosses and enhanced monsters. Insert doom marine AAAHHHHHHRRRGGGGG right there. 5/5

This make me remember some old games... Really cool wad! 5/5

For anyone who has played this megawad before, I think you'll be happy to know that TUD has updated the game... looks like almost a year ago. I didn't even know he updated this wad until I re-downloaded the wad out of curiosity. If you want to know what was updated... lets just say it now uses GZdoom features.

I had already given this wad 5 stars, but i've reconsidered since. I replayed it w/o using God Mode all the time. The level design is neat, interesting ideas are plentiful, and scripting is done right. But this wad just becomes absolutely brutal towards the end, and not in the good way (blame me for playing on UV). Some puzzles can be tedious and a lil' annoying. Now, this wad has way more good stuff than bad stuff, but some things could have been done better. PRETTY DARN GOOD

It's solid and enjoyable in small doses, and surely deserves to be remembered as an innovative design. But it's also obviously rushed in several places (graphical errors, mismatched messages, etc). The basic combat is mediocre--the meat of the thing is the exploration and the boss battles, which are sort of "combative puzzles." In the end, I just can't quite reconcile the atmosphere of DooM (dark, spooky, tense) with that of Sonic (bright, cheerful, facetious). Perhaps some others can. 3/5. -TDotW
