DOOM (GBA, 2001) ~ Jan 1st
obviously i adore DOOM, but this port really isn't the best. of course the fact that it's on the GBA doesn't help with it looking like nothing more than a hodgepodge of muddy pixels at times, but my main issue with this version is the new levels. from what i can tell they're the same levels that were added in the Jaguar port, and they're really not all the great. you can definitely tell they weren't designed by the same team as there will be occasionally be times where the exit is in some random corner or you have to dunk yourself into some random pool of water to continue. it's not *bad*, just a far cry from the great level design present in the rest of the game.
