Review - Joe
Right at the start, you can tell that this level may pose a bit of a threat.  With three demons, and half a dozen of troopers just in front of you, quick thinking will be a necessity.  First try, you probably won't get far, but soon you will realise that there is a rocket launcher which is placed in a 'secret' place.  However, once the first wave of assault, it is all about conserving your precious bullets.  If you do that successfully, this level will be a breeze.  The level design is brilliant, great for single player or deathmatch, but definitely not co-op.  What I don't get about this level is that why do you need to open a door with a key, when you can easily get to that same place without getting the key (it's not even a secret!).  That aside, this level can provides cheap thrills.  Though this is a tad smaller WAD, it is probably because it's level 2.  Another
criticism is that some of the secrets are so important, that you probably won't be able to finish this level on UV (or Total Carnage, as the author changed it) without the super shotgun.  This is an easy level, even on UV, I know because I finished it (and you don't want to know how bad I am), but definitely try it.  Not for the hardcore fans though. 

Pros- Great non-linear level design.  Great lighting effects.  Cheap thrills- fun and fast.  
Cons- A tad on the easy side.  Not enough ammo.  The door that you need to open with a key, but really didn't need to. 

    Overall: 7/10
