Well, the level does work, and a few of the bugs that were reported were removed. Still, I am not convinced that this is a good level. Most of this review is identical to the last review, and for good reason. Simply put, this does not deserve a seperate file. REUPLOAD NEXT TIME.
TILESET/TILESET USE: At least I know that GenEX has been listening to some suggestions, albeit not the ones that were extremely important. More eyecandy has been added in this version, definitely. But it still is not very good at all. Simply put, this level still remains ugly and plain.
Pros: It looks better than it did last time, sort of.
Cons: This tileset has just used up all of its worth, GenEX. Not anything new. At all.
Rating: 3.7
WEAPON/ITEM PLACEMENT: Not much to say here other than that there is nothing new and nothing astounding.
Rating: 3.7
ORIGINALITY: The level is original. The idea behind it is interesting. Still, there is nothing that was not in the last level. It’s getting old.
Pros: It’s quite original.
Cons: It is original because no one else wants to do it, for it is not a good idea in the first place.
Rating: 3.0
GAMEPLAY/DESIGN: Gameplay and design is unacceptable. Now that the level works, one can finally actually test this level. Still, there is nothing better. In many respects, I liked this level more when it did not work. Gameplay remains uninteresting and mainly focused on sucker kills. This level bares far too much simularity to “Rat Race,” an Onag level which was released ages ago, and is still better than GenEX’s level, despite its age.
Pros: New gameplay, kind of.
Cons: It is not a very good gameplay.
Rating: 3.7
REPLAY VALUE/FUN FACTOR: Replay is…well…just as interesting as first play. This level might be striking at first, but it does not improve with time.
Pros: None.
Cons: Nothing interesting here, other than the new gametype (sort of kind of new).
Rating: 3.0
OVERALL (not an average). Sure, it’s original. And sure it has improved in some ways. But regardless, this is not a good level. For all of the effort that the author took to make it work, this is not a good level at all. Next time, put a lot more time and a lot more effort into levelmaking. And use the reupload function.
Pros: It’s original.
Cons: It’s bad.

EDIT: He has uploaded a non-working version. Sigh. Rating lowered to 2.2, accordingly.
EDIT: New, still subpar version reuploaded. This one works – unfortunately.
