Yay, wisey uploaded a 1.23 version of this set! Time to review!
Tiles Included: The variety of tiles included is a LOT. Firstly, there is some muddy looking ground with hills and slopes. It looks great,like some great artist painted it or something. Very detailed. Then comes the spiffy wood part (This was one of my favorite parts when I looked at the picture of Mega Megatropolis TSF) and Im thankful for it being included. After that comes a sewer part, and no big city would be complete without a sewer. Though the green sewer backround reminds me of either a dense marsh or some toxic stuff than a sewer. And no sewer would be complete without sewer water!!!11 Looks nice and green, though not something I would swim in. Then there are some hooks and some stuff which look like stackable blocks. After that there are some trees, which also add more fun to this set. Then, there is even more! Some nicely textured and drawn red bricks, which as shown in the example level, can make a spiffy, old looking house. Then come some paved roads. I dont like them as much as the ground or the sewer, but then again I’m not really a fan of roads. Some white building tiles come after that and they look hard as hell to use. There are some extra eyecandy things like rocks and plants to place on the muddy ground, some extra building eyecandy, some Blade signs, poles, suckers, rain, destruct blocks, manhole covers, signs, windows, the extra layer vines, and the backround layer eyecandy, and the backround.
Pros: So many different tiles=so many different things can be made with this. Either a city, a country side, a house, sewer etc etc. This is a set which won’t get boring to use.
Cons: Sadly, 1020 tiles means there is room for only 3 animations, which kinda sucks.
Rating: 9.2
Animations: Yes, there are some animatinos included here, like the manhole covers and the destruct blocks, but there is only room for 3 of them. I also kinda dont like the fact that the manhole cover animation, if you chose to use it, takes up the space of two animation tiles, so if you use it you’ll only have room for one more animation. The animations look nicely drawn and fit into the set, though.
Pros: Well drawn and made animations
Cons: Stupid 1.23 tile limit.
Rating: 7.5
Color: If I could use one word to describe this, I would say pwnage. The color here is just plain awesome, ranging from the red house blocks to the green sewers. It’s just nice to look at. The BG in the night version rocks, I love looking at it. Can’t say there is a large color variety in the pink version though, since everything is just pink =P (though looking at it for some time hurts your eyes a bit due to the extreme pinkness of this pinkish pink version).
Pros: Spiffy colors, large variety.
Cons: The pink version kinda hurts your eyes.
Rating: 9
Userfriendly: Some parts look easy to use, like the country side and the trees, but others like the city parts might take you a long while to understand.
Pros: Some parts look friendly.
Cons: Others dont.
Rating: 8
Masking: Its ok, I didn’t expect the leaves to be solid though, since solid leaves O.o, and I didnt expect some other stuff to be masked as well. Its fun reading the mask messages, though.
Pros: Overall nice masking
Cons: Some unexpected stuff which look unmasked but are really masked.
Rating: 8.7
Overall (not an average): I just love this tileset, despite some of the drawbacks (like the 1.23 tile limit and the evil user-unfriendly parts), and I’d probably make several levels out of this when I get the time.
Pros: A great set by wisey which everyone should use.
Cons: Un-userfriendly in some parts, 1.23 tile limit which makes there be room for only 3 animations, and possibly some other small things.
Rating: 8.5
+0.3 for the fact that there are 3 different versions
+0.1 since I love the night BG.
Final rating:8.8833333, which I’ll round up to a 9.
