# of maps: 1
Created on: Dec 1997
Reviewer: Crash OverRide
Port Used: Legacy v1.42
Score: 5.5
Overall Review Score: 5.5/10 - Average
This is a very small, simplistic water base map....with several tough baddies to kill, and scant resources to do it with. Because of some of it's "better" aspects, i'd recommend this map as merely a passing interest to most players.....even doom fanatics.
Graphics/Lighting: Score: 5.5/10 - Damn, that's average
What can I say that could be said by the screenshots(below) alone? Well, first off....the texture usage is minimal, and even a bit bland and drab in some areas. But it DOES show these off to semi-good effect in it's combination of metallic & concrete textures every once in awhile. This isn't to say there aren't problems....as there are several graphical plane errors, allowing the player to see straight through a few areas, or creating a sort of seamed effect between connecting sections of wall/etc.
Lighting is basic, but works as needed in this installment/level/map. There are even a few pulsing lights here and there for flavor. Because of this, and the errors mentioned above, this category gets an averaged score of 5.5.
Weapon/Health Placement: Score: 5.5/10 - Average joe
To be blunt, don't expect too much assistance in the weapons/ammo department....as most is obtained from killing enemies, and not just found lying around. This is also true for the most part with armor/health/etc. Because of this, and no way to set difficulty besides cheating, this map gets a 5.5 here.
Monsters & placement: Score: 5.5/10 - Average jim
There are few monsters here, but don't be fooled. They are very tough in some circumstances, and because of item shortages, you may want to stay on your toes and keep a finger on the save key every so often. The fine red line(You'll see if you watch the ground as you play) is my favorite.
Praises - Simplistic design and texture usage. Good challenge for doom vets.
Cons - Graphical glitches in several areas....as well as a couple bland, empty rooms. Semi-tough map for beginners. Ultra short map.
Bugs - <b> !Serious! - A door to the radiation bunker in the NW corner of the map is covered by a wall section that shoudln't be there. NoClip past it, as this is the only solution. </b> There are also a few graphical glitches.
Comments: This map will keep you entertained for five minutes or so. Slightly enjoyable, despite the aforementioned bugs & the occasional empty room.
