The Saturn finally has its own version of Doom, and not only is it about two years too late, but it's also completely worthless. You know the story: Space Marine discovers his platoon has been wiped out, Space Marine gets pistol, Space Marine opens a can of whoop-ass on an almost infinite number of demons. Saturn Doom contains all the Ultimate Doom and Doom II levels for a grand total of sixty, which by now most of you should be able to complete on the hardest setting with one arm tied behind your back.

Doom for the PlayStation and N64 hold their own against the original PC version. Doom on the Saturn, on the other hand, is very similar to playing on a 286; the frame rate is incredibly low, especially when entering a large room. The game's sound is also drab, and while the original music has been replaced, it will have you longing for the original MIDI in no time. If this is the best the Saturn can do, you might as well dismantle it with a sledgehammer, glue the remains together, and recoup your costs by selling it as modern sculpture.
