    After having the weekend to spend with it, I must say, "this is the best FPS on the platform". Don't know if that's good or bad seeing as the game is 15 or so years old. Then again doom has a lasting appeal I've not seen in too many games. I too am surprised at the seemingly lack-luster response to such a complete game. Absolutely can't wait for doom two so I can blast some archviles.

    Agreed. I think of how bad this could have been, and how good it actually is, and I don't understand why it's not being hailed more. Even though it's old, it's still relevant because it's FUN. Also, the fact that Wolf 3D added a downloadable level update spells very good things for Doom. The fact that Carmack likes this platfrom also bodes well for the future of iDevice games.

    I think the crowd is busy playing Eliminate right now. Poor timing...

    I would drop $7 on this if it had online multiplayer. Since it's only local multi I need to play w/ my friends/brother at home and... they're cheaper than I am with apps. There's no way they'd each spend that much.

    I've actually been playing this when I'm waiting for a charge in Eliminate. It's worked out pretty well for me.:)

    Multiplayer Laggy

    Has anyone experienced laggy multiplayer? I was able to improve it slightly by turning bluetooth off, but it still isn't what I think it should be. Especially with more than 2 people.

    I'm struggling with all the control schemes. Sidestepping, rotating, moving forward/backward and firing on the iPhone is awkward for me.

    Sandstorm felt better, but then again I don't recall needing to sidestep in Sandstorm, whereas that is part of Doom's gameplay mechanic.

    I actually use a mix of tapping, swiping and holding the sticks. If I try and use them as regular analog sticks it doesn't seem as responsive. I really forgot how amazing doom is. The level designs and subtle nuances really give this game, an immersive feel.

    Are they planning on updating this to Doom platinum like they did with Wolf3D?

    Thats what im hoping.... Itd be better to keep it at a $4.99-6.99 price with the Addition of Doom 2 instead of a DLC.
