The game is broken up into episodes, but other than a static screen of text that plays at the end of each episode, there's no real 'story' to the game. It's up to you to blow apart as many demons as you can as you make your way through level after level. As luck would have it, those knuckleheads manage to open up a portal to hell, sending all manner of demons onto Mars. This Xbox 360 version of the game stays mostly faithful to the original, and it holds up well after all these years.ĭoom was an amazing game in its day, and it holds up well, even after all these years.ĭoom puts you in the role of a lone space marine stationed on Phobos, one of the moons of Mars, where a bunch of eggheads have been messing around with teleportation experiments. Well, make it a billion and one, because now Doom is available for download via Xbox Live Arcade.
