Doom II is now out for the 360 and it’s exactly as lovely as you might expect, given that it seems to be exactly the same as the 360 version of Doom, except with different levels. I’ve played through the first few levels on the default difficulty, which might turn out to be a mistake. On the PC I only ever played on the easiest setting, as I remember, otherwise I found the game far too hard later on. I may restart.

Switching weapons in the heat of the moment is the only real issue with the port – the d-pad just isn’t accurate enough. I’d prefer a way of cycling through weapons, I think. I had a terrible moment where I went to select the chainsaw, ended up selecting the rocket launcher and blew myself to bits. Ouch.

Still, the game did give me a nifty t-shirt for my avatar, so that was nice.
