It doesn't feel like Doom to me. It just feels like lots of graphic gore to make it seem like a good game. It does make me want to play Doom 2 again though. All this gore in games kind of distracts me from what matters, the gameplay.
I really like this game even I seem two sites gave this 5/10. I like the fun arcade style. This game reminds me of Excite Trucks...but that might just be me. It only cost me £3.50 and I play it way more than Drive Club!
@Jaz007 Yes, in many ways your correct. I however don't feel a video game can be as easily defined as a book or many other objects can due to its non physical nature. Hence the reason that it is a very difficult subject to agree on.
Like I said I think that it's subjective. I'm not sure I can answer that question for certain. I'm basing my answer purely on the feel I got as a child when I played Asteroids in the arcade. If I get that same adrenalin rush then in my mind it's a video game. For someone else looking at pretty images and listening to involving sounds would quality as a video game.
Edit - maybe I would call a lot of new video games electronic entertainment... or something similar.
It is very easy to be pretentious about this subject but as far as I'm concerned a video game is something I play that I find fun and challenging on a physical and mental level. If either of those two are missing then inn my mind it becomes another form of entertainment that could be expressed in another format.
For example some people love puzzle video games, but in my mind I would rather play a crossword puzzle or buy a puzzle book. My wife however loves them and prefers them over traditional puzzle. I think this topic is subjective and should be discussed as such.

Re: The First Chapter of King's Quest Is Free Right Now on PS4
I've played all episodes of this. I wasnt that keen on the second episode. I'd recommend this for a light hearted fun puzzler that not to frustrating.

Re: PS4 Multiplayer Will Be Free This Weekend
@themcnoisy I have. It seemed well made but I couldn't make myself like it.
Re: PS4 Multiplayer Will Be Free This Weekend
I am wondering why I bothered with my subscription. I have had it almost a year and don't play any multiplayer games and don't care for the games.

Re: Review: Grow Home (PS4)
I tried it out but it seemed like a substandard performer to me. Hopefully one day I will try it again and will like it. I would give it 6/10.
Re: There's a BBC Drama About Grand Theft Auto
That picture reminds me of 'Vanilla Ice' rap artist on a grand scale.
Re: Drive Sideways with New Need for Speed PS4 Trailer
I wanted an offline non rep based racing game with car upgrades and tuning. one that's more arcade-y than sim like. I guess I should keep looking.
