"Doom 2: Hell on Earth" is a good sequel to the original Doom game, despite some disappointing aspects.
The storyline is quite exciting: You are the surviving marine now back on Earth, but you see that Earth is being attacked by Hell's demons. Some of the monsters survived from the previous game, and have opened up another inter-dimensional gate so that they can seep into the Earth and cause chaos. You must shut the gate so that Earth can be rebuilt again.
There is a new weapon in this game: The Super Shotgun. It's stronger than the standard shotgun, but it takes 2 shells at once and reloads more slowly. Still, it is very effective on the tough demons.
There are new monsters as well. The newer demons are much harder to beat than the ones from the original "Doom". I would say the most difficult demon is the Pain Elemental, which produces Lost Souls if it is not destroyed. And once killed, it releases 3 Lost Souls. Get a powerful weapon ready!
And lastly, the maps are almost like the ones in the original game. However, I expected more out of the maps. For example, a level called "Downtown" (which means a downtown area on earth) seems incomplete in that there are no dead bodies of human civilians on the ground. Also, there are no cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other human vehicles found on the streets. It makes the town seem less realistic than it's supposed to be. Some humans may have fled the city, but there should have been at least some dead bodies and vehicles laying around.
Overall, this sequel to the original "Doom" game is pretty good and fun to play (especially with the addition of the Super Shotgun), but it still seems to have some things missing. However, if you liked the original Doom (as I did), then I would highly recommend that you play this sequel.
I give the game a 9/10.
