This is finally the first map of Tormentor667 I've ever played. I've been waiting long for this moment... :-)
Since I already knew that Tormentor's maps are very hard, I played it on skill 2, which turned out to be a wise decision; it was a hard, tight and challenging fight, but very fair overall.
The details are nice and besides the many cool visual ZDoom features, the map makes great use of ambient sounds. All together it's a very atmospheric map in a really hellish city environment.
The map is not overly large but still rather complex and has some very tricky battles. The only lowpoint for me was the dexterity proof to get the BFG. I hate puzzles like these and that's the only point where I cheated, except for the final battle, which I couldn't finish without some extra ammo and an invincibility sphere. But all the rest is great and worth a download!
