They finally added the original DOOM 3 (Non-BFG Edition) to this product. This game also includes Doom 1 and Doom 2 although these versions of the game do not support mods and apparently censor out the Wolfenstein 3D secret levels. However, if you are merely looking to play Doom 1 and Doom 2 vanilla this is a great way to circumvent paying for the separate Doom 1+2 package and getting it here. They even have achievements. It's a terrific value for the price. As for the BFG Edition itself, I think it looks and plays great. Anyone complaining about the added combat flashlight clearly never played the original because everyone used the Duct Tape Mod when it released. If you're looking for immersion, you retain the ability to turn on and off the flashlight. Also if you can't stand the fact that you have a flashlight usable with your weapon, you can play the original Doom 3 with the handheld flashlight. Even with the shoulder-mounted flashlight the lighting and physics in this game are lovely. The game is legitimately creepy even by today's standards and it's a fun FPS that doesn't overstay it's welcome but hangs in there long enough to be fun and engaging throughout. I was able to beat the game my first attempt, on Veteran Difficulty, and get the achievement for completing it under 10 hours. I even explored the game quite a bit and was able to get all PDAs and Lockers although I did have the advantage of vaguely remembering some details from when I played this back in 2005. Your mileage might vary. Either way this is a terrific game. Even if you're not interested in Doom as a series but want to play a fun Horror-themed game, this is thankfully a reboot of the series so you don't need any prior knowledge about the previous titles. I got this game on sale but would gladly pay full price for it. 10/10

Not the Doom that is Dooming the most. Will please half life and solo horror experiences fans. DLCs are filled with new content which makes them great. Watch out, changing volume in the settings makes the game crash.

After completing this game, I can confidently say one thing: it is great, IF you have played DOOM or DOOM 2, as it was great fun seeing how each aspect of those earlier games evolved in this one. It's different, though, so be prepared for slightly annoying, repetitive and cramped hallways, cheap jumpscares, and harder enemies. Bad things aside though, this game was genuinely fun, with some really interesting new bosses and level design, fun and satisfying combat, and a really solid new storyline. So, if you like DOOM, give this game a try, you won't regret it!

Great game, some of you youngins' that are comparing this game poorly against Doom 2016 may not realize this game and it's engine came out approx 20 years ago, it was one of the first games that actually supported a working GPU, supporting Hardware T&L, you may not realize this game was a pioneer with that and in its time, it was very damn impressive.. Of course it won't stack up to a game that came out over a decade later. That's just advances in technology for ya, great game!
