Overall rating:

This is a replacement of the complete 3rd Doom episode with a nice, oldschoolish gameplay and some cool vanilla tricks. The most astonishing thing about this wad is the maps' giant size. They are all very carefully done, looking good and giving a nice atmosphere.
However, I didn't understand the first map, because I was roaming around in these giant halls and rooms without encountering any monster at all. I tumbled into the exit and that was that. Sight-seeing with 46 monsters hiding somewhere. Gameplay started with map 2 then, and it was quite a fun, though the maps took me a while to accomplish. If only Doom1 had a bigger variety of monsters...
