Can't give something like this more than 4. I know alot of people who don't want to bother playing something that took longer to read the reviews about it then it takes to play it. Its length isn't what bothers me the most, its the abrupt ending. It shows you just gave up on it. I don't think that people should release unfinished stuff when its this short. Maybe multiplayer maps are the exception. Its probably the smallest I’ve ever seen. Can’t give something like this more than 4.

I wish he would continue with the map.. It ended in a Ventshaft not a very good ending. The fun factor how ever was great! A nice decent map. I wish he would continue with the map..

Besides this is just something I did in my free time and nothing that I sat down and constructed piece by piece on paper, remember it took me only 8 days to complete it and all of those were spent on building the map and nothing else; no story, no thought about continuing it and so on. Also with that said this isn't a mod but a custom single player map; just something you load up through the original game and run. Personally I don't think the ending is "badly constructed" and I haven't seen anyone else thinking the same (quite the opposite actually) but if that's your opinion that's fine.

Considering this is a first map it's very good. I would have been nice if it was a little longer but that's such a cliche. Anyway, it's only 5 or 10 minutes of play but worth it. <strong>5 Words Or Less Review</strong> Hopefully, the first of many. This is a really nice little level.
