--------------------------------------------------------------------- TiC's WAD Review --------------------------------------------------------------------- In irregular intervals I will review a few PWADs. All reviews are totally subjective, I'll not beautify anything! If you have any suggestions, ideas or whatever; e-mail me at: denis@doomsday.shnet.org or denis.moeller@kiel.netsurf.de All files can be found on ftp.cdrom.com and its mirror sites. DON'T ASK ME TO SEND YOU ANY FILES NOR WHERE TO GET THEM. If you want me to review a special PWAD - email me. I will NOT review any deathmatch-levels!

May 95 Review No.: 26 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: "Argus" Episode, part 1 Game: Doom 2 Filename: DM2ARGUS.ZIP Size: 46k Author: Ty Halderman e-mail: thldrmn@sam.neosoft.com Robert Taylor rtaylor@sam.neosoft.com Maps: MAP01 Type: normal level Sounds: no Graphics: no Music: no [ Level construction ] ---------------------------------------------- Kinda one-way-level, though it has a few rooms neighboring to the main way. This level really needs no keys, but two were used. (You know, run - get blue key - run - open blue door, kinda stupid) Some nice tricks, like platforms with things on it etc. but nothing amazing. Some light effects, like cones of light... [ Texture design ] -------------------------------------------------- Kinda 'brutal' texture placement, but most of them are aligned. Some strange texture combinations, could be better. [ Bugs ] ------------------------------------------------------------ No Tuttie-Frutti, Medusa or HOM effects. [ Enemies ] --------------------------------------------------------- Played in UV only. Too easy. Not very challenging at all - Guys, Imps, Pigs. Boring. [ Things ] ---------------------------------------------------------- Enough ammo and health, too easy. Nice placed 'other' things. [ Scoring ] --------------------------------------------------------- 55% Worth downloading. A bit boring. I hope the other WADs of this series will be BIGGER and better. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
