Title: The WAD Game: Doom 2
Filename: THE.ZIP Size: 98k
Author: W.Davis Thornton e-mail: [email protected]
Maps: MAP01 Type: normal level
Sounds: no
Graphics: yes, walls
Music: no
[ Level construction ] ----------------------------------------------
Very well constructed level, looks like one of the later original
Doom 2 levels - city-style with buildings etc. A few nice ideas,
such as a church, a cinema and a cemetary. All keys were used and
well placed. Good light usage. The author wanted to make a good
deathmatch-level too - I think it's much better for single and co-op
games.
[ Texture design ] --------------------------------------------------
Well placed and aligned textures, only a few misalignments. The
new textures are nice, but unnecessary (except for the cinema). A
teleporter does not have the right texture, just a red floor.
[ Bugs ] ------------------------------------------------------------
No HOMs, Medusa effects or Tutti-Frutties.
[ Enemies ] ---------------------------------------------------------
Very challenging, playing in Ultra Violence you have to kill a
Cyberdemon. A lot of Imps, Demons, a few Mancubus' and Revenants.
Well placed.
[ Things ] ----------------------------------------------------------
Enough ammo and health, you will get it exactly when you need it,
so I call this 'well placed'. A kinda difficult to get God-Mode, but
it's not necessary to kill the Cyberdemon. Could be some more other
things, I can't remember seeing even some torches...
[ Scoring ] ---------------------------------------------------------
80%
Worth downloading. Very nice level, too few things and some
misaligned textures take 20%. Don't miss that one anyway.
