Actually, Doom 64 isn't so stubborn with its control scheme at all. If you had crosshairs and could aim like you could in other FPS games - that is, if Doom was like every other FPS game - it wouldn't be Doom. Doom never needed any of that. For a lot of fans, Doom's simplicity and style makes it much more satisfying and sets it apart, even today, and that includes the jerky animations, which for many older gamers will always have a more satisfying "crunch" than the 3D ragdoll effects today.

@seckusa i know this fag needs to grow a pair of balls before he does video reviews

@cant1rac for sure, that was almost at the height of dooms popularity. those were the days

Doom 64 EX 2.1, download it people. Good game. It is better than Absolution.

[TheChamberofchillz]

Doom 64..... the REAL Doom 3

[SonicXSTH]

Doom 64 Absolution for the PC. Google it.

This was my favorite doom. Damn, I really need to get an N64 again, I always liked it better than the ps1 back in the day. also, I wouldn't want to play this game with modern controls, cross hairs, jumping. It simply wouldn't be the same game. Doom has an unmistakable style and feel and thats what I love about it. sometimes less is more. and in doom64's case less is a WHOLE lot more. Just a class game all around.

@f8j3jn It's pretty hard to be one of the best Doom ports when it's not a Doom port at all. Doom 64 is a completely new set of levels from the original Doom. It's a completely different game, not a port.

[mjc0961]

The only complaint I have with Doom 64 is the N64 controller. Man that thing is weird to hold when you need one hand on the d-pad and one on the joystick.

@mkultraWUD there is also the fact this was a doom game, and doom really wasnt that old, ultimate doom was in 95 final doom was 96 & doom 64 was in 97.

& was a significant upgrade to the previous years release.

still trying to keep true to the spirit of the series

quake (96) as standard had a look up down, swim up & down keys (can be upgraded) duke nukem 3d's free look was poor (i use eduke which improves it considerably).

the charge this game was retro for early 97 is just laughable

[cant1rac]

@mkultraWUD turok is a fine game, 97 was a year of revolution in console games because of the n64 controler.

consule free look fps were very poor before the n64 (europe 97)

any game that handled it well in 97 were revolutionary.

the games that didnt definetly were not retro for the era as this uneducated reviewer suggests every few seconds over and over again,

i find duke nukem on the saturn a pain to control but the n64 was the first consule to have usable controls for fps
