Random review pulls through yet again, with a true classic. Well, at least the name is classic. The rest of the level is, well, pretty good. It is definitely worse than it was when it was originally uploaded. Still, it is an enjoyable bit of nostolgia.
TILESET/TILESET USE: BioLab is the used tileset. It looks okay, but nothing really ultra-amazing, per usual. After all, it is an old level. The tileset is more or less good, but there are a few limits to its usefulness.
Pros: Spiffy-looking.
Cons: Nothing that by today’s eyecandy standards is amazing.
Rating: 7.0
WEAPON/ITEM PLACEMENT: Being that this is a race level, there is nothing special about weapon and item placement. What is there is placed well, though this is not a significant part of my grade whatsoever.
Pros: No comment.
Cons: No comment.
Rating: No comment.
ORIGINALITY: The level itself is not extremely original, but the name is. I suppose that is worth something. For its day, I am sure this level was quite original.
Rating: N/A
GAMEPLAY/DESIGN: Gameplay, even after these years, was still quite outstanding. There isn’t anything much more to put here. Simply, these are great levels.
Pros: Great design.
Cons: None really.
Rating: 8.5
REPLAY VALUE/FUN FACTOR: Far underplayed, in my humble opinion. This is a really good race level which is fun to play over and over again. Sure, it gets boring after a while, but not very quickly. Well done.
Pros: Good level, good eyecandy.
Cons: None to mention.
Rating: 8.0
OVERALL (not an average): EvilMike’s classic race level, J2O’s tenth upload, and the best named level in existance. This still remains one of the best race levels there is out there, even after all of this time. Any self-respecting race fan (all four of you, that is) has this in their arsenel and hopefully will host it frequently. Truly one of the great race levels.
Pros: The review speaks for itself.
Cons: Some quality loss over time.
