Do you want to feel like a badass!? This is the game for you. I can't remember the last time I felt this cool playing a video game (relatively speaking... sitting at a desk and yelling at your monitor can only get you so far).

I almost quit playing this game entirely because I found the first few levels kind of slow and boring. Although, in all fairness to Doom, I attribute most of the slowness to my achievement whore ass and my incessant need to search "every nook and cranny" (real achievement name) for every collectible in existence. If you can avoid slowing down your gameplay to instead focus on popping baddies, at least for your first playthrough, I promise it'll be worth it.

Once I finally made it to Hell and had access to all of the weapons, my experience was immediately elevated. This game became a real power fantasy after a while. When you begin to realize that you are the threat, and demons have prophesized your return like the second coming of Christ, it gives you a real reason to say "Fuck Yeah!"

The story was nothing too interesting, and barely gave you a reason to pay attention to it. There were also a few tedious/repetitive moments, but the game wasn't long enough for these to be too impactful. Overall, this is a great game with lots of action... and lots... and lots... of blood.
