Here it is the Chemical Engineering Department, after a quick inspection, not only have they failed with all safety inspections, half of the crew got lost looking for the keys. If there is anybody that plays this wad you are pretty much guaranteed to have the same symptoms, of going insane from music as well as the butchered gameplay but when your not pointing out its negativity, you can spot its little bit of a good side with nicely placed consoles and little bit of uniqueness in each room you enter. This wad deserves a 3 out of 10.

Layout - 3
There doesn't seem to be too much thought put into this level, it pretty much could look like a 1 story facility with a less then convincing design as it looks like a hotel. Its actually a pretty annoying layout seeing as you will have problems finding keys and have no feeling of accomplishment when you eventually do. One thing that really puts this level in the dirt is its small rooms, each room is pretty much a small square with no expansion off to another place, with an exception of a couple rooms connecting to the next.

Music - 2
I am really not to fond of the music chosen for this wad, a better one could have really brought out what good details this level did have.

Gameplay - 3
I must say the gameplay is about as dull as it can get, you'll find going from room to room quite irritating, as you will find getting through the level more of a hassle then fun.

Originality - 3
The console textures were used quite well in this level. Although the layout is kind of aggravating, it still offers some uniqueness to some of the rooms.

Overall - 3
Though this level can kill off about maybe 10 minutes of your time, I must suggest spending that 10 minutes some where else. The layout of this level will have you spinning in circles trying to locate keys, and the music may drive you nuts long before the layout. With its layout being a pain, the gameplay gets caught under the guillotine leaving this wad in the better off not played list.
