[ Level construction ] ----------------------------------------------
Wow! Very good level. Didn't see something like this for months.
It's a conversion of a Doom level; this is sadden me, because there
is NO Doom 2 enemy. Anyway, it is quite good thought trough, however
the key-placement is a bit dumb. Two keys are used at all. Also,
there are a few switches, but you really don't know what they do.
Just push them. The whole construction is amazing; ups and downs,
lifts, a lot of windows, stairs, outside places, waste tunnels etc.
It took the author 3 months to complete it.
[ Texture design ] --------------------------------------------------
Didn't see ANY misaligned texture. Great work, alas, the level
contains at most textures from Doom, no Doom 2 graphics.
[ Bugs ] ------------------------------------------------------------
No Tuttie-Frutti, Medusa or HOM effects.
[ Enemies ] ---------------------------------------------------------
Could be MUCH more. As mentioned above, you will only kill Doom
enemies. A bit boring for a Doom 2 level. No Baron of Hell.
[ Things ] ----------------------------------------------------------
Plentiful health. Not enough ammo. Could be some more trees and
bodies too...
[ Scoring ] ---------------------------------------------------------
90%
Really worth downloading. The conversion to Doom 2 is a joke.
I did notice a Double Shotgun, that's all of Doom 2 in this level.
Hope the author will put out some more like this one! (Please put
more enemies in your levels, it's to easy!)
