Doom II From 1994

I just completed Doom II on the "I'm too young to die" difficulty level. Even this is not easy. It is a bit of a slog to get through.

I was bored with some of the early levels, but midway through the levels got much more imaginative.

If they had broken the game into 3 or 4 episodes, I think that it would have been more rewarding for the player. It would have provided a better sense of progression.

The Super Shotgun is very satisfying. It has enough power that I sometimes choose it over other more powerful weapons.

I definitely enjoyed Doom 1 more. Do I find Doom II interesting enough to play it through on the other difficulties? Probably. The complexity of some levels is discouraging, but players in 1994 got a lot of gaming experience for their money. The game is bigger and more difficult.

I played the game using "Chocolate Doom", which uses the same low resolution as the original game. I didn't mind this at all, but now that I have downloaded both ZDoom and its successor GZDoom, I think that I prefer the game with the higher image quality.
