Doom...Live...

Doom...Live...

Let's just hope it's multiplayer over Live....... I'd hope they'd be smart enough to include it!

[business]

The game includes both single-player and two-to-four player co-op and deathmatch modes over Xbox Live.

Took that straight from the article on Kotaku.

This is too cool man! X06 is already starting out the way a press conference should go!

[norkusa]

Says Doom will be available for download starting tonight. Man, that would be great if it had Live multiplayer.

With the backlog of games I want to play, Halo 3 coming (sometime) and Doom. Now I'll get a 360 again.

[s1lence]

If Doom is live, that will be cool. If not that sucks a ton.

[Half Japanese]

Doom is already up, downloading the demo right now.

Multiplayer mode for DOOM, please...pretty please..

runs and controls well. still fun

[Overbite]

oh sweet i just noticed at this time im tied for 3rd place on gamerpoints in doom

[GrandAmChandler]

Yeap, it's solid, controls for Doom have never been so smooth!

Best console port of Doom ever.

Saw my friend download and play it while at his house today. It looked great. I'm gonna pick it up and we're gonna try it out co-op soon. It'd be sweet if you can do the ultra-violent and nightmare achievements in co-op, but I don''t know what the mode is like, I've never played it before, only deathmatch.

That's great news. Smart move on Microsoft's part to include online multiplayer. This makes the game a steal.

Now, if they can include online play for sensi, then we'll be rocking. Throw in the inevitable $100 price drop, and the Xbox 360 is starting to look like a really great console.

Let's cross our fingers and hope they don't drop the ball on this one.

Oh man, that's so perfect. $10 right? Not too shabby..

[Half Japanese]

The demo was alright, but not worth $10 to me to buy it. I would imagine that there would be quite a market for something like Duke Nukem 3D if Doom sells well, but I'd REALLY like to see an XBLA port of Shadow Warrior. I used to love that game when I was younger.

How does it compare to the Doom included in the xbox Doom 3 port? I was impressed all to hell with that.

[GM80]

I'm enjoying it. A couple of things I would have liked are not included, but well worth the $10 for a Live multiplayer FPS with retro appeal. It's funny what the years do to people ... I haven't played Doom since the original on PC was making the shareware rounds, so I kept trying to look up and down last night. Argh.

It's still 4:3 display, which is fine, but I would have liked side art of some sort for my 16:9 HDTV rather than simple pillarboxing on the sides. A pleasant montage of skulls and flesh springs to mind.

Also, while the pixellated graphics have a classic feel, almost every other classic game on Live Arcade has had an updated graphics option. I expected one in Doom as well ... even though I rarely use the option on the other games.

Including the original music in its raw glory was a nice touch that brought back plenty of memories.

I give it an A- overall for price, features, and fun.

When will the world realize that Doom II is the definitive version of Doom?

What good is a Doom game without the Arch-vile, Mancubus, and Revenant? The original Doom is boring compared to the sequel (I'll still be buying the Live version of course).
