Overall rating:

This ia a wad with quite interesting aspects.
The weapons have been changed, which I don't like very much, but well... There's also the count of a "score" on the screen, but I couldn't make out, what it was good for.
The monsters are the original Doom monsters, at least I didn't see any new inventions until the point where I got stuck.
The ambience is quite impressive. It's playing on the streets of a big city, which terrorism seems to have changed into a battle field, with destroyed houses and cars.
You'll be confronted with bomb explosions and strange automatic weapon systems.

So, this started all very interesing; however, in the first map, in a place which was surrounded by bomb throwing machinery, I got stuck. The way back was cut and I didn't find a way to proceed. This shouldn't occur in Doom maps, regardless of all originality.
