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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Review date: 6. May 95 Review No.: 20 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Elements Game: Doom 2 Filename: ELEMENTS.ZIP Size: 40k Author: Henry Chang e-mail: changhenr@urvax.urich.edu Maps: MAP01 Type: normal level Sounds: no Graphics: no Music: no [ Level construction ] ---------------------------------------------- Almost every room has near the same floor level, only a few plat- forms with lifts and a few waste pools. The whole level is kinda 'evil', waste, granite, stones. Quite good key-placement, with a few traps. Nothing new, but a bit different from other PWADs. No special light usage, mostly average light. Look out for secrets near lights... [ Texture design ] -------------------------------------------------- Like I mentioned above, the author used kinda evil textures. But only a few textures are misaligned. Some doors and skull blocks (showing the needed key to open the door) are misaligned. [ Bugs ] ------------------------------------------------------------ No Tuttie-Frutti, Medusa or HOM effects. [ Enemies ] --------------------------------------------------------- Played in UV only. Quite hard, you will get all weapons. If you get the blue key, you will know why. Many enemies coming from hidden rooms, coming out if you pass a special line. Some really hidden rooms with Revenants, challenging! [ Things ] ---------------------------------------------------------- Enough ammo and health. Enough things at all. Good placed. [ Scoring ] --------------------------------------------------------- 72% Worth downloading. Not a fast level, you have to use the map etc. Solid level with a lot of monsters. Fun! ---------------------------------------------------------------------
