I am technically more than a year late with this but whatever >O. Since the SP levels included with this aren’t really the forte of this pack and since they’re more of a bonus than anything, my rating for this pack will not include those levels’ quality in account. Anyway, here goes:
Theming and Eyecandy – 5 out of 5
The levels’ atmosphere is possibly what Blacky excels on, and it shows. Those levels are a real pleasure to look at, I have found myself stopping running to look at things; and given that I am really picky on eyecandy, that should mean something ;). There’s a lot of detail everywhere, many original and interesting effects… not much to say here. Best marks for the eyecandy.
Gameplay – 5 out of 5
The gameplay is for the most part as good as the eyecandy. As an experienced levelmaker, Blacky obviously knows how to lay out a level well; none of the levels will get too crowded nor too empty. The flow is also really close to perfection – it (as the author says) finds the balance between a sloppy flow and a fully automatic one. Also the levels are good enough in their size… not much to say here as well. This is just some very very good gameplay.
Eventing – 4 out of 5
Rating placement of events gets really annoying when you need to sum up 15 levels ;|. Anyway, nothing was too wrong with the eventing in the levels. No amateurish stuff like a 40 second shield put in all the open, or Jazz starts in a ctf level. However, there wasn’t anything overly original about the eventing either (aside from the SP levels, but they’re not mentioned like I said), so that’s why the eventing doesn’t get a 5/5. Sorry blax ;D
Summary- Eyecandy pwns, gameplay pwns
- The eventing doesn’t pwn too much but too bad ;D
Overall
This is a pretty much pwnage pack which you all OUGHT to download and host. Blablabla my head hurts I’m done with the review now >O
