| Description: |
A fun, well-crafted wad. There's some nice lighting effects, long halls, twisty passages, enourmous courtyards, some suprising connections between areas, a few reasonably clever layout tricks and a quite extraordinary use of an elevator at the end. It is challenging without being ridiculous; no mobs of cacademons here, thank goodness. Vince put a lot of work into making this look good; you won't have that depressing "generic" feel ("ooh! Concrete!") while playing this wad. --Barry |

Barry, who made me post it (and wrote the bits of this file Vince was too modest to write); Paul who ran around in it and shot stuff; Charles, who is kind enough to post this and forward email to me. |

| Spare the self-congratulations please, it's unpolished. No attention to aligning textures; the 5-star reviewer must have missed the computer texture door track in an otherwise marble wall - which moves with the door like every other door track. Some boring long passages with a trooper round the next corner. There are interesting bits but it needed more work. | x | |

| It's a sign of the times that the author promises not to have "mobs of cacademons" (sic). It's hard to get angry about this level; it's just very, very dull, and I couldn't find anything specifically Doom 2 about it. It has a lengthy maze, which is dull, the architecture is mostly right-angled corridors, and the only bits that approach goodness are the first shot (there's a nice shadow) and the very last room, which at least had a bit of creativity. This is a sort of graph paper level. | x |
