Score: 5.5
Nice layout is key to this level, as it places most key doom elements in a bit above par fashion. Yes, there is a bug here and there.....but hopefully nothing that will keep a serious doomer from playing if they remember to save at the right moments, and keep health at hand. ;) The secret areas are also a bit easy to find, but that in and of itself plays into the level as a whole, I think.
Graphics/Lighting: Score: 5.5/10 - Average
This map has what one might call almost but-not-quite heaven graphics. The textures are, for the most part, in their proper places.....yet there are a few snags here and there, which(if nothing else) make the secret areas not so secret, but which also may be an intentional part of design(as several keycards are in such areas, supposedly to keep them "secure"). Several secret doors/doors have mis-sized textures on them, or are slightly mis-aligned......but this doesn't make the level too much of a pain to play, just damn easy.
Lighting is also balanced to a good effect.......which definately isn't quite perfect, but it's also far from fugly in the same respect.
Weapon/Health Placement:
Score: 6/10 - Slightly Above Average
Whilst fragging your way through this anonymous installment, you will find more than enough ammo and health to keep you happy, maybe even a bit too much......unless you want to switch respawn on for the heck of it all. Enjoy the fraggage knowing you will be supplied in just the right amounts. :-)
Monster placement:
Score: 6/10 - Slightly Above average
The baddies in this level were after your soul, and knew where to lurk, in both shadow and in the open. Enemies are placed in good spots throughout most of the level. You will find plenty of fraggage to keep you happy in this level, unless you're a doom veteran that is. If that's the case, you may want to enable re-spawn to continue the carnage a bit longer.
Praises - Nice layout, monster/item placement. Pretty good lighting and usage of original tetxures. High frag count.
Cons - Some toxic pool areas are inescapable, or don't cause any damage. A few badly set textures/doors.
