Title: Buzzard's Delight Game: Doom 2
Filename: BUZZ01.ZIP Size: 85k
Author: Paul Busby e-mail: [email protected]
Maps: MAP01 Type: normal level
Sounds: No
Graphics: No
Music: No
[ Level construction ] ----------------------------------------------
Medium - big level. Not very well planned I think. Starting in a
computer-hall, silver walls in a lot of rooms. You MUST use the map
to end the level, there are several doors not looking like doors,
but needed to end it. I think he was designing a computerlevel and
was out of ideas. Then he added a boring red 'hell'-like end.
[ Texture design ] --------------------------------------------------
70% of the level are well designed and aligned. The rest does not
fit to the beginning. Switches, doors and lifts are well done. There
are no 'big' misplaced textures. (How do you misalign silver and red
walls?)
[ Bugs ] ------------------------------------------------------------
No Tutti-Frutti, Medusa or HOM effect.
[ Enemies ] ---------------------------------------------------------
Another hard level. Played in UV only, of course. Good placed and
sometimes a bit too hard. (Barons, Spiders and Mancubus in one room)
The guys in the hallways are placed randomly...
You have to kill a cyberdemon and a spider mastermind in one big
room. After this, there are two Arch-Viles coming. You have to be
quick! (save & reload level)
[ Things ] ----------------------------------------------------------
Enough ammo and health. The most needed weapon (rocket launcher)
is available much to late.
[ Scoring ] ---------------------------------------------------------
70%
Worth downloading.
