Has a really good storyline ever been told in a DOOM game? I've only played #1 on SNES and its sub-par recreation for the N64. The franchise has such good material to work with -- demons, portals, Mars and all that. That could make for some pretty awesome and immersive survival horror experiences if the writers / scenario designers handled it well.

DOOM 3 explained everything pretty well.

The narrative in the Original Doom and Doom 2 are told between chapters, and yes they are good. Doom three did a great job in my eyes.

The Doom series not handled well:

The Doom Comic




The Doom movie


except this part, which WAS pretty cool...


But how great a story can there be if you MUST have a chainsaw in a sci-fi space action flick? lol
