The only time the plasma gun can get irratating is during very long stretches of fire, apart from that, I find the gun to be quite nifty. To add to that, I think it might be the only weapon in Doom that actually considers recoil; when you left off the trigger, the plasma gun comes flying up towards the screen. Just another way of showing how advanced Doom was for its time.

Doom II is in some ways a quite a bit different from Doom I, in my opinion atleast. Doom1 had the perfect pacing, level structure, design, look and feel that made it what it is. If you notice, Doom 1 is dramaticlly slower in gameplay compared to Doom II, which is more of a balls-to-the-walls gun fight against crazy odds each level. Personally, I'd say Doom I is the best -- no doubt -- but Doom II is still a great game.
