PLUSES
- Nice atmosphere
- Excellent lay-out
- Very challenging
- Too easy near the end
This is far and away Michael's best Tab map yet. There is a very nicely developed atmosphere throughout the map, using earthen walls and lava along with great sounds to make the player feels like he's really there. On top of this, the level is laid out extremely well, moving you from area to area, each with it's own distinct look and purpose. The gameplay is great (at first), as you're assulted by a variety of Strogg, often well hidden and taking you by surprise, and your ammo supply is limited. Unfortunately, as in Michael's last effort, near the end you've got a Railgun jam-packed with 40 slugs, and only a few Strogg left to fight. All told, there's a nice challenge here, and some good secret areas. The Tab series has taken another step up the ratings ladder, and you should indeed give this map your attention!
