The only thing bad about xbox and x360 ports is that the sound is as if it were 25fps (PAL VERSION) an accelerated rate, not like the original, but it is good then is console xD
The 360 port by far. The XBox one has two problems: Theres a bug that shows same sky for EVERY episode, and cheats can be accidentally inputted since you hold down run and press the face buttons to input them. VERY annoying.
For me, I think it is. Having a normal episode 1 sky in hell really ruins the atmosphere. The thing is, they didn't fix the bug when they included Classic Doom in Ressurection of Evil. It's a lazy port. It seems to me that they just plopped it on the Doom 3 disc and didn't care past that point.
@cameron20101000 they made the cheats and put it in a code and see what cheats code you want on your controller
it does not have to do with the BUGS
BUGS are like failed textures and never added in the games...if you look at doom on sega 32x on map11 they accidently forgot to put a texture wall on one of the boxes which that is known as a BUG (failed textures and architecture)
There's three flaws with this version. First, all the skies in Ultimate Doom are the same as episode 1. Second, the Super Shotgun in Doom 2 is the last in the weapon order instead of between the Shotgun and the Chaingun.
Third (and the worst by far), you activate cheats by holding run and pressing buttons. Which means that you ACCIDENTALLY activate cheats when you don't want to. Unless you let go of run every time you change weapons, open doors, etc. Lame. Totally kills the gameplay.
I can't remember if this is covered in my reviews. In any case, it's a port to avoid because of a few things. First of all, all the skies in Ultimate Doom are the episode 1 sky. A glitch for sure. Second, you enter codes by holding down run and pressing buttons. So you randomly put in codes by accident, killing all enjoyment of the game. You open 4 doors in a row, you enter a code, you scroll through your weapons, you enter a code.
It's better to get the it on XBLA. Or the PSX or PC versions.
This port is really good, you use the left stick to move, the right on to aim. This is pretty cool because you can strafe easily. In the pc game you had to maintain alt down to strafe, so you couldn't aim and strafe at the same time. The only key flow I found is about the cheats.
I try to never die in games. If I do somehow die in a game, I completely start over 90% of the time. So when I finally beat a game, I have it completely mastered. Just the way I am. :P
In Doom, only if I'm playing a REALLY hard wad on the PC. And that's very seldom.
@elbryan42 I know that I am replying to a comment from over a year ago, but you restar the whole game just if you die one? what kind of games do you play that you manage to do that? I guess mainly shooters... and anyway, you must have A LOT of free time to be able to do that.
Myself and a friend just bought a used Xbox with controller & Halo 2, plus this game. All used. All cheap. Great games. I've been playing Doom II for 10yrs and played Doom 3 in summer 2005. I'm stoked to have all 3 on the same game platform on an HDTV!
Nope, you don't have to beat Doom 3. Classisc Doom (Doom 1 and 2) are available in the limited collectors edition (it has a metal case), and it's also in all versions of the expansion, Resurrection of Evil.
hey i want to play my doom 2 gfame on my pc because my xbox is always hoged so i can't use doom3 or resurection any1 know how to convert a dos file to run in windows or any1 know of and emulater i can download
Nope, only the collector's edition and the expansion (stand alone on XBox) Resurrection of Evil. If your normal Doom 3 didn't come in a metal case, you didn't get Classic Doom.
cant you do co-op on this? like spit screen? and what about resurection of evil since it comes withs these ports as well? can you do co-op split screen on them to?
Yes, its the same thing except there are less levels and there are two super secret added levels. I am posting the videos on how to get to them. And if its okay with elbryan42, I will do playthroughs of this port. I want his okay so then when I do them people don't call me a elbryan42 rip-off (I already had that happen to me from SpoonyOne). That and I don't want it to look like I'm copying him.
@manic242 yes i think it is a little slower than the PC
its about as slow as the 360 version but the 360 version has like a atari sound like music almost not the one that sound like ducks no like atari 2600 that what it almost sounds like
The 360 port is really the only port of Doom I have and yes I have the PC version. I noticed that in the 360 version, the music sounds a little different in some parts than the PC version. From what I've saw in this original xbox version before the 360 version that it has the original PC music and a better MIDI. I might also get the collectors edition for to play Doom 2 on xbox and the Ps1 version because of the custom sounds, levels and music.
I prefer the Xbox 360 port over the port included with Doom 3.
I've had times where I accidentally activated cheats just for rapidly pressing a button combination too much (I hold the run button and tap the use button, and a cheat activates.)
I'm still hoping for Doom 2 to hit XBLA, although it might be hard as there's the Wolfenstein Secret levels being the problem, as Doom 2 couldn't be sold in Germany because of that reason.
He does exactly that (accidentally activating the temp invincibility cheat) at 8:10.
I mean, it's not like someone is ever going to run and tap the X button a few times to open a door real fast right? I mean, no one ever gets in a hurry in Doom; there's no such thing as a speedrun, right, right? It's not like someone is going to try to fit a recording in 10 minutes so they can post it on YouTube, right? *sarcasm detector explodes* :p
Someone obviously wasn't thinking when they made the cheats.
Yeah, even if you press four doors in a row on the way to the exit of a level without shooting, with joystick movement and all, and the cheat activates.
I only pushed it on the red door on my way to the soul sphere, on my way back through the red door, and accidentally pressed it twice when I was opening the secret door.
That's four times pressed I pushed X, very far apart. You'd think they would've fixed it in Resurrection of Evil, but it's just as bad there.
Excellent game. It's just too short. It's only 30 levels, most of which are from Master Levels. It's a must for a Doom fan, but the first PSX Doom has 59 levels.
To DarkLordRobert, do a google search on "classicdoom sewers betray" (without the quotes) and you'll find some links to download Sewers and Betray for the PC version and how to access them in the XBox version.
Keep in mind, however, that both maps in the XBox version have bugs, and can be rendered incompleteable, unless you do them as the author expected. Ledmeister fixed these bugs in the ones he has available for download, however.
The maps weren't that good anyways, and it's stupid how they placed secret exits on plain walls and you don't even know a secret exit switch is there to begin with.
Hey man awesome video,I Had the CE of Doom 3 on xbox with this and yes I was pissed off as well about the fact that the controls were used for messed up cheats as well.
Yeah and no online(Could have been easy to put in) =-(,But ah well man I'm getting 500 MS points for free since I preordered GTA IV so I will spend those on the 360 version =-P
The same controls are on the 360. But the control sticks feel tighter and more natural, and A is open, not the awkward X. Also, there's no cheats, so no accidentally turning them on. Also, the skies are correct in every episode.
So basically, the 360 is almost a damn near perfect port of Ultimate Doom. Still no Doom 2 on XBLA though.
At 8:11 I heard a Cyberdemon...what's up with that, there is no Cyberdemon in Level 2.
