Overall rating:

This 9-map-pack starts tame in layout and gameplay but becomes a real trip while you're going through the maps.
Some scripting and monsters from the ZDoom Community Monster Pack make it interesting right from the beginning.
But maps 08 and 09 are real masterpieces with the way, gameplay is directed by scripting and with its psychedelic sounds.
However I had to quit map 09 after a while. You're confronted with hundreds of monsters in a breathtaking large ambience, which made my framerate go down to almost unplayable. And I didn't know how to finish the map. My impression was, there must be some trick to stop the monsters from spawning over and over again, but I couldn't find a solution. If not so, prepare to eliminate not only hundreds, but thousands of monsters in this map (I stopped at 1100).
