My thoughts:
I played through the first 4 levels this morning and had lots of fun. All
the creatures and some of the ways in which they behave have been changed.
New weapons - shotgun replaced by a super pistol, two pistols that rapid
fire like the chaingun, rocket launcher changed, etc... It appeared that
there were quite a few new textures in this that were pretty cool. I also
saw some some original doom2 textures as well. Same with flats. The new
sounds were good as was the music. Gameplay was pretty basic and
architecture was very original doom like with very little in the way of
spectacular architecture. It was very old school in design. The levels were
fairly straight forward and in some instances reminded me very much of the
original Doom2 maps - I think possibly that the author may have borrowed
from the original maps a little because I had the distinct feeling of deja
vu in some places. I don't know that he did and it doesn't really matter
because it was only in some places. I hope in the followup to this he adds
more of his own textures. I had fun playing this and I'm sure you will too
but I wouldn't expect a terribly difficult fight. I never really found
myself in dire straits but there were some nice surprises in store and quite
a few hidden areas to explore. One final note - the download comes with the
full 32 level total conversion as well as a bunch of alternate maps to play
after you get through these and it also contains the demo of the sequel. I
do recommend going to the authors site and checking for updates to that as
well as more screenies and other stuff.... Enjoy!
