It really happens a lot more than some would think, and is put to good use, and sometimes dickish use. There's also a new thing in this game's engine with scripted events, such as when you pick up an item and enemies appear. Don't forget to treat Pinkies to lots and lots of chainsaw. There's also Spectres from classic Doom, and Nightmare Imps, which are semi-transparent purple imps that move faster and shoot faster purple fireballs. The enemies included are the Imps, Pinkies, Hell Knights, Barons, Shotgunners/Zombiemen, the previously mentioned Pain Elementals, Cacodemons, those goddamned Lost Souls, Cyberdemons, and the also previously mentioned Hell Mother. The enemies are redesigned, they don't look like they used to, some look more freaky (such as the Pain Elementals in particular), well really all of them do, but it depends for the enemies. Just blow everything away with your weapons. (See also: D3) It's really only those two, as the rest of the time, there's not much to worry about. The Berzerk allows you to turn enemies into gibs (chunks, like when you blow them away with the Rocket Launcher) and doesn't make the player character scream every time you punch something. The powerups here are the radiation suit which is now just a biohazard symbol (not Resident Evil biohazard) and the Berzerk. Great for cheesing levels but you can sometimes screw yourself over by doing that. The levels were built around not being able to jump, which is something added in some source ports, so it allows you to cheese some levels and just leap to the exit instead of going through the extra effort of actually beating the level. It's great against the final boss of the game, the Mother Demon, and with the fully-charged Unmaker, you can just turn her into nothing, and also close the infinitely spawning monster closets in the arena. It eats through your ammo, but does amazing amounts of damage. You find the Demon Keys scattered throughout different secret levels (three of them), and the fully charged up Unmaker with all three Demon Keys is amazing. The Unmaker is a cell-based weapon like the BFG and Plasma Gun, and without any Demon Keys, it is pretty weak. Then comes the Unmaker, the weapon meant to be added in classic Doom, but was never added.
The Chaingun is a rapid-fire Pistol and does good damage, the Rocket Launcher is great for everything, the Plasma Gun is great if not a little slower but more powerful, the BFG feels a little neutered, the Chainsaw now has two blades and feels as it should, it stunlocks the enemies as well. The Double-Barrel is amazing, as it should be. The single-barrel shotgun is a good weapon as well. It serves as a good source for extracting the sound effects, including really satisfying death sounds like the ones for the Hell Knights. I tried another one that was based on the Doomsday source port, and it looked ugly (so much bilinear filtering I could not turn off) and just didn't play well. The recently released Steam//PS4/Xbone/Switch port, and Doom64 EX.

But that doesn't matter, as there's two ports to the PC that matter. The N64 controller is not enjoyable to use if you ask me, and the way the controls are mapped for the N64 controller is just not much fun as well. The gameplay of Doom 64 feels good, at least if you're playing a source port. But that isn't a big problem if you ask me. It was composed by Aubrey Hodges, and I think of it the same way as i think of Quake's ambient music.
The music got quite a downgrade from the PS1 version, cartridge and all. The sound effects, while being samples at 22.05KHz because they're on a cartridge, are satisfying and meaty. 32 new levels as well as a bunch of new secret levels, it's quite a great game. Some say it's an enhanced port of Doom, some say it's an all new game, I side with the latter. In all seriousness, I got a hell of a kick out of Doom 64, no pun intended. Doom 2016 is as well, but that isn't the topic of this review.
