Doom II was originally released back in 1994 as the sequel to the incredibly successful first-person shooter, Doom. Like the original, Doom II is a dead simple game, especially compared to the shooters of today. You proceed from level to level in search of the exit in each stage. Environments are populated with demons that need to be gunned down and there are many secrets to find for investigative players. There's not much to it, but the gunplay is amusing. Doom II also has a dark sense of humor and shows a lot of personality. Your character's image faces you at the bottom of the screen and becomes bloodier and bloodier as you take damage. Pick up a badass weapon and a demonic smile will creep across his face. The sound effects, from gun blasts to monster groans, are all iconic. And I love the cheesy, midi lounge music.
Even though Doom II was originally a PC game, the controls have been transferred to the Xbox 360 controller well. You'll play it as you would most any other modern first-person shooter, but noticeably missing are the abilities to look up or down and jump. If an enemy is above or below you the auto aiming will get your bullets to them, but your ability to look around the environment is handicapped.
