Oh man... what a step down. This isn't half the map that REoL's previous two have been. Imagine FUCT or Lord of the Cyberdemons without X-Treme detail and you will get this map. This looks like a pre-95 level that I would expect to pull off D!Zone or something. The textures and lighting, with the exception of a very few points in the map, are butt-ugly. Flats aren't aligned, half the scenes don't match at all and hardly any textures besides the curved surfaces are offsetted or centered. I'd rather look at my own crap than this map. This is an artist's hell.

The difficulty level is hard to say. There is an extreme lack of health but a complete overabundance of ammo. Lots of saving and reloading if you don't want to be taking on hordes of enemies with 5% health. A good idea would be to reload whenever you drop under 90% health.

On the plus side, the layout is very big and had just enough variety to keep me playing to the end. I think if this map was used as a base to build a movie set the set would look great... as if that was going to happen. I don't know why I reviewed this, I should have just passed the map onto Cranky Steve instead. For somebody that is such a big fanatic of that guy, I would have expected REoL to avoid the downfalls his reviews of shitty maps always mention.

Overall: 4/10
