To date their is know other first person game that so immerses you into it's world of demons and Hell as Doom does. I guess what I'm saying is, aside from graphics that to me still blow any first person game away, including the much touted Dark Forces, It's the "atmosphere" of Doom that make it. Ok, no hits from Dark Forces fans but come on, their's just something about the blood splatter when ya pump that bad gut with a shot gun that just blows away a pulse rifle shot!
