Our tests of the week
Doom The Dark Ages: one flaw, we can't stop!
Doom The Dark Ages marks a peak for the saga with ultra-fast gameplay, a controlled pace and incredible artistic direction. We love the graphics, the feeling of power, the diversity of situations and the addition of a shield which brings a new dimension to the fights. The only drawbacks: an underdeveloped storyline and a soundtrack less striking than the previous installments. Besides that, it's a must-have for fast FPS.
