One of the greatest games of all time, bar none. And no, Tom, this is not the last time you or I will buy this game again (I've got another version scoped out on eBay right now).
Curse you id software, for not finally making a Doom box, in the vien of the first game consoles that had one or two games each. A dedicated Doom console with online or lan hookup.
It would sell Millions of copies, and we would gladly buy it. Perhaps then we could stop buying this game again.
Oh well, glad the iPhone got a good port of the game.

That custom control does need to be monitory on EVERY iPhone game.

Very interesting, a must buy.

I really want to see a good control scheme on iphone games. Looks like this won't dissapoint.

you know what was pretty awesome before the iphone version, Doom RPG as a mobile game, it was a new mission and everything at you could play it anywhere, even for only a minute or two thanks to the save function. it was a little short,but a lot of fun.

I still play my old PC versions of Doom, never really buying it again. I rented it once for the SNES and was sorely disappointed. Ever since then, I've only ever played Doom on the PC.. and that's probably the only way I will still ever play it.

There's numerous ports out there that update graphics and controls, and even add mouselook.. ZDoom, Doomsday, Skulltag. Or, if you prefer one that keeps everything almost exactly how it was in the old days (with only very minor additions), there's Chocolate Doom.

Seeing another rerelease of DOOM makes me happy about how good the original and its first sequel were, and sad about how bad DOOM 3 was.

What's bad about doom 3?

i love doom :)

niver played doom two though D:

Playing Doom on a little touchscreen won't do it for me.

i think we all can call it IDoom lol. :dry:

I'll stay with the good old PC version. Oh yeah.

Playing games on a telephone makes just as much sense as calling someone with a microwave oven.

DOOM...was fun in 1995..it's crap now.

Best...Idea...Ever...

I just got Wolfenstein 3d on the iphone the other day (it was only two bucks! You can't even find a used copy of this game for two bucks!) I had heard good things about it, never played it before just seen videos, and the price was right and i bought it and I haven't stopped playing it since. The controls are so fluid, and the gameplay is sweet. The turning could be a little better and I find it a little difficult to strafe, but an amazing game none the less. If my research is correct and the same people who developed that game for the iphone and doom for the iphone, then i am totally going to buy this... as soon as I beat Wolfenstein.

I do plan on getting this, and Wolfenstein after playing the free version of that availiable in the App Store and being very impressed. I can admit that, for some people, the control scheme you have to use on the iPhone won't and never will work, but even with that said, you have to admit alot if time and effort has gone into these ports, and it really does show.

I find it amusing that you called the earlier port a "bootleg" merely because it requires a jailbroken iPhone... it's just as much legal as this one is (both are even under the same free software license, the GNU GPLv2, with source code for the official port available at http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=15906 :P).

But you know the REAL reason that we keep buying Doom: because it is awesome (although most of the Doom community doesn't really care about the base games anymore... it's all about the WADs baby). But to make you feel better, I'm sure you haven't paid enough money for Doom to match some of these guys...

That image of him cover in Doom games and money is now burned into my minds eye Someone Get Me a Spoon!

Based on my exp playing any fps on the ipod touch, I know for a fact everything he says about the controls being good is bs.
