[ Level construction ] ----------------------------------------------

  Wow! Very good level.  Didn't see something  like this for months.
It's a conversion of a Doom level;  this is sadden me, because there
is NO Doom 2 enemy. Anyway, it is quite good thought trough, however
the key-placement  is a bit dumb.  Two keys are  used at all.  Also,
there are  a few switches,  but you really  don't know what they do.
Just push them.  The whole construction  is amazing;  ups and downs,
lifts, a lot of windows, stairs, outside places, waste tunnels etc.
  It took the author 3 months to complete it.

[ Texture design ] --------------------------------------------------

  Didn't see  ANY  misaligned texture.  Great work, alas, the  level
contains at most textures from Doom, no Doom 2 graphics.

[ Bugs ] ------------------------------------------------------------

  No Tuttie-Frutti, Medusa or HOM effects.

[ Enemies ] ---------------------------------------------------------

  Could be  MUCH more.  As mentioned above,  you will only kill Doom
enemies. A bit boring for a Doom 2 level. No Baron of Hell.

[ Things ] ----------------------------------------------------------

  Plentiful health.  Not enough ammo.  Could be some more  trees and
bodies too...

[ Scoring ] ---------------------------------------------------------

  90%

  Really worth  downloading.  The  conversion  to Doom 2 is  a joke.
I did notice a  Double Shotgun,  that's all of Doom 2 in this level.
Hope the author will  put out some more  like this one!  (Please put
more enemies in your levels, it's to easy!)
