Overall rating:

While playing, i had very mixed feelings about this map. It's the sequel to the great hti.wad, which I found to be one of the best wads ever.
Now, this map is very much the same as the first part, with a very similar gameplay, the same monsters and also the same ambience (a cathedral-like, gothic style ambience). So, you can either be disappointed to see nothing new here, or simply enjoy another great and excellent work, with a nice creepy atmosphere.
There were some glitches: two scripts were started with an error message, but the game wasn't spoiled by this. Plus, you can get stuck in several places when you jump where you aren't meant to jump (though jumping is necessary in this map).
I liked the place of the rocket launcher very much as well as the finishing scenes, and I was surprised to find one of the sounds of the Mantis from my Biovite Project in this map.
Overall, it's a very impressive map, but drops a bit in comparison to its predecessor.
