This is great! My favorite Tab map yet, just edging out Michael's last effort. Once again a Tab map filled with variety, good action, and plenty of fun to be had. You are thrust into the fray right from the start, and things never slow down from there. The lay-out is fantastic, and coupled with the use of goals, and computer updates that keep you constantly on the move, the map seems twice as big as it really is. Pacing is great... you'll never get bored looking for a fight, or find yourself lost and wondering what to do next. Architecture is simple but sturdy, with just enough flair to be admirable. Secrets are well used, and item placement is close to perfect. The only real gripe I had was the massive fire-power (plus a quad and an invuln) you have for the final battle with Jorg himself. They make the fight a bit easy. All told, the map has nothing new or inventive to offer, but it is a fine example of good solid conventional map-making. A fun play, and highly recommended.
