Overall rating:

Yeah, Alando again, and not with a bad map, though maybe a bit simple and repetitive. But well, it's also quite short.
In this map, you're swimming or wading through a swamp where some kind of sea snakes are already waiting for you. The monster is well done. It's swimming underwater and you only can see its fins from time to time, until it jumps out of the water and bites you. So, this map requires some quick reaction. The monsters are dead quite fast, though, and you can mostly do your job with the chainsaw only.
Apart from this monster (I think, I've already seen it in another of Alando's wads), there's not too much to admire. The ambience is green-brown mud only and your path is quite linear and easy to find.
