DOOM:ONE

Mod review

This mod has a great flow and it also adds challenge to the first episode of Doom. The developer does a great job keeping people updated and is constantly posting pictures of his progress as he keeps working. The mod also adds more interesting details to the maps. Science labs look more like science labs, and some of the work areas look more disheveled, better driving home the fact they had been attacked unexpectedly. It really makes the maps look more like an operational paramilitary research facility. There are also nice touches of windows being in spots that weren't there before. It really adds a nice environmental touch while keeping the look from episode one that we all remember. There is also some new areas that make going from map to map believable and interesting. As of this writing, there is only episode one and the first four levels of episode 2 completed with the usual beta bugs, but I think this mod, when it's fully completed, will have great potential on adding a new fun element of one long, continuous map, to maps that all Doom fans will know, while adding some new surprises for vets, and a great intro for people wanting to introduce a new generation of people to Doom.
