That's a pretty subjective question. My personal favorite is Need for Speed. Wing Commander 3 is great and so are a lot of others.
There are many acceptable answers to the second part of this first question. Usually, Plumber's Don't Wear Ties gets a good deal of the votes. Shadow War of Succession ranks pretty high as does BC Racers.

Usually Doom is considered a very good fps on the 3DO. But the key to making it really good is to enter the code to eliminate the borders.
Again, this is all my opinion - and I'm most likely completely wrong about Doom.

Twisted is my favorite game, but you need to play w/friends to get the most out of it. If solo, Need for Speed for sure!
Worst is easily Plumbers don't wear ties The original Mad Dog McCree is also bloody awful thanks to a piss poor conversion!
My fav fps on the 3DO is Wolfenstein (best console version by far!) Others worth mentioning ...
Space Hulk (a gorgeous game but w/a challenge designed by Satan himself!)
P'oed (too ambitious for it's own good, but has it pluses)
Cyberdillo (a fun game that does not deserve its rep ... trust me)
(There is also a good import called Belzerion that offers more of an adventure slant on fps)
Oh, and avoid Doom at all cost.

Great FPS for the 3DO? Killing Time all the way! That game is a monster, period! Good games though? Gex comes to mind, especially since it is left out quite often because it is a platformer, but an extraordinary one. D is excellent as well. Bad games?Doom sucks on the 3DO.
This is a stick up! Put all of your 3DO games in the bag and nobody gets hurt!

How far have you gotten in it Kid? I've nearly beaten it, so I'm in a much better position to comment on its pros & cons ...Erm, Trev? Yeah? It's Christmas not April 1st. 'kay?
Cyberdillo? Pfft.
Whatever happened to that joint review we were gonna do? (I think arguing about Primal Rage) Maybe we should try again w/Cyberdillo ...?
I have a review I wrote on this game from a couple years ago ... could be easily tweaked in 3DOKid fashion.

It could.
It's a real shame too, as the 3DO could have done a lot better with this title.
I read somewhere recently that Art Data had the go-ahead to do Doom 2 for the 3DO as well. I hope that was part of the original contract and not something that was decided after Art Data had ported Doom 1.
The music in 3DO Doom is widely considered to be excellent though.
It was (for all the wrong reasons)as i recall, with hindsight, it's pretty funny.

It sure does and it's a pretty good game. The beginning is frustrating for a while. Keep killing the weakest n00bs and taking in their power source. Run back to town when you're low on energy. Once you're strong enough to take on the first boss, yes the game becomes playable.
