Basically, the gist was that if you didn't already have the full version of Doom, then Doom II was a no-brainer, go get it, it's an excellent game. However, if you already had Doom, then, the review argued, Doom II only brought a few annoying monsters, a boring new weapon (another shotgun, yawn), some bad elevator music, and some completely gratuitous controversy-bait (Nazi-themed levels from Wolfenstein, hanging children you have to kill).
I say a few words about Doom II in the upcoming Quake essay, and the above validates my comments and then some.
