Four Reviews And A Funeral

Recommended Posts

Ok, so there's not a funeral. Metabolist has uploaded 3 reviews that he had been sitting on for a few months to his pages, which are of ctf_blod, phobia, and CH_retro_new. He has also spotted a Doom GBA review in The Guide, which is a subsection of the Guardian.

Whoops, I'll fix that link ASAP.
It would have been handy if they had quoted the review, because I quoted it at them! Here it is:


Walking around mazes shooting monsters could scarcely be regarded as a simulation
of anything in particular, and yet when Doom first came out, parents were up in arms
about how it was training children to kill. Luckily the predicted videogame-inspired
carnage never materialised, and those of us that grew up on first-person shooting
games appear to be (relatively) unaffected, so it is with some measure of relief
that we can greet a new portable incarnation of this ageing classic. Doom on Game
Boy Advance is an amalgamation of levels from various versions of the original that
represents the very best of what it had to offer. Key cards, hell knights, and the
ubiquitous shotgun all make their way back into this miniature masterpiece. It's no
longer scary, and unless you have extremely small hands will cause severe cramps, but
Doom is still a defining game experience and one that you can now take on holiday
with you.


Make of that what you will.
