My Review:

    Well, in case you weren't able to determine from the name of the wad, this map is FULL of Arch-viles (not to mention just a few hundred other badasses as well. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, although - I have to admit, they aren't my favorite creature in Doom2. Fortunately, after some effort on my part I got the author to downgrade the difficulty in this map from simply impossible to simply insane. Believe me, it's a huge difference. If you play on UV, plan on using save slots because you WILL need them. If you are an Uber Doomer, you will probably find this map to your liking. It is difficult and should present an interesting play for that skill level. For me, it was VERY hard but I muddled through, often times with only 4% health! Ok, enough about the difficulty, I think you get the idea.

    The true strength of this wad is in the design itself. This map is absolutely GORGEOUS! I mean it. The detail is stunning and the design goes hand in hand with creature placement to create a true piece of Doom artwork in the truest sense of the word. There are many good mappers out there but there are not many GREAT mappers out there. I think that Logan separates himself from the pack with the intricate detail that his maps entail. All I can say, in closing, is download the map, grab a cup of java or a beer and plan on spending some time in the Arch-viles Temple because you are gonna be there for a spell.
