Doom was not a good game, no matter how you slice it. Prey actually takes the engine and makes something good with it.
My only real complaint was that the game was far too short.
However, it dosen't make it any less good...it was the kind of game where you expect it to be fully rushed (in the telling of the story) but it only does that slightly at the very end (Instead of most games being achingly slow until the middle, then sudden OMGOSH IT'S ALL HERE ENJOY)
Also, it was in 'development' for 11 years because it was canceled for several. Then they picked it back up again and etc etc...just a lot of bad luck with this project (Hell, I saw development video of when it was supposed to be relased in 1997...and it looked damn sweet even for that time) Also, the guy who developed the main draw of the game, the portal technology, actually died.
This game is FPS done right for once. Focus on gameplay, unique and challenging environments, and story instead of KILL KILL BOOM BOOM!
