Urban Brawl: Action DooM 2

I really enjoyed the first Action Doom, but I didn't care for Action Doom 2 very much at all. Credit where credit is due, I love the cell shaded visuals and attention to detail. It's clear that a lot of hard work was put into this WAD, and I hope to see more Doom WADs that look like this. But unfortunately, the combat just isn't very enjoyable. Melee combat can be tremendously fun when it's properly implemented in Doom, but here it just feels monotonous and unengaging. The game also suffers from a great deal of tonal inconsistency. Action Doom 2 tries telling a dark and gritty story about a depressed ex-cop trying to rescue his daughter from an evil corporation, and it's reminiscent of Max Payne and Sim City. The game world itself is in absolute contrast to the tone of the story and makes the experience, on the whole, feel very jarring. This isn't helped by the fact that the writing is very cliched and lackluster. Action Doom 2 is an excellent idea with poor execution. 

This is one of the best things i've saw in my life! Wonder if there will ever be a Action Doom 3

Wow thats great. Wasn't expecting that. Pretty amazing

ooo action

definitely overpraised.

I would pay th3ese guys money for the joy they brought in my real life, then more itf they put out a 3rd installment. The use of Sin City and Doom is exactly the afterlife I want to imagine being in. Scuba Steve Browning, as a consult please consider another game. Got stories in my head that the doom engine can bring to life

Absolutely awesome in more ways than I can count. NOT playing this should be a deadly sin. - MasterOFDeath

I wanted to try the retail-exclusive features... and not by PAYING FOR THE FREAKIN' RETAIL VERSION!!!!

Masterpiece. Streets of Rage, Sim city & Doom

Lol It's like a soft version of Condemned: Criminal Origins, but with more items. 5/5

How could this not be legendary?

5 for effort, 0 for gameplay. 2.5 as a result. Oh well.

5/5

the dude going on about AD2's resources not being ripped from anywhere is pretty much the anthropomorphic personification of zdoom.org. apparently you need to rip resources to make a project now. oh, yeah, and this is one of the very few things on /idgames truly deserving of the 5/5. so with that in mind...

I really don't like the gameplay style in this. However, the cartoon-style graphics are excellent, the cutscenes are cool and the scripting is clever. I'll give it 4/5 because it's well-made and I'm sure anybody who likes the 3D beat-em-up style will love it.

5 finals = 1 are good :-)

One of my favourite WADS. 5/5 -Tomiklesz

Admittedly Urban Brawl is far superior to Action Doom 1, but nonetheless this wad is unfun in it's concentrated form.

This is an epic win, nuff' said. 5/5 (I love the music)

I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to Doom, but I would still suggest checking this out at least for the novelty. 4/5

I'm all for new types of gameplay, but this melee crap is so stanked up that nobody in their right minds should tolerate it. Mostly, it just consists of running forward, hitting the fire button, running backward, and hoping that you don't get buttraped by the dude in front of you while you run forward and any dudes behind you when you run back.

The gameplay is amazing, and the graphics are beautiful. One thing, though...I can't open the cabinet with the gun. >:(

great story, unique gameplay, deserves another sequel. 5/5

Seriously, this is high-quality work on the go here. Everything about it is just fun - not to mention the impse easter egg had me falling off my chair, haha!

The storytelling was certainly very good, and the new resources are interesting as well (they made the spriters resource!). Unfortunately, it seems that most of the work was spent on the story and creating new resources so everything else has to suffer. Next time, I hope Scuba Steve pays more attention to what he left out in this; it seems that when he cut corners by putting in graphics from other games in AD1, he had more time to get the gameplay down really well. 3/5
