Reviews:

printz	Very hard on single player, especially level 2, which is completely merciless and you often have to run away until you get enough ammo. Level 3 is mostly just a regular pattern. Sadly it's all built around a boss which is easy to bypass.	x
Anonymous	meh	x
Anonymous	Good stuff, hard on single player, would love to try in coop	x
Anonymous	Awesome level set that seems designed for coop play, given the amount of monsters, ammo and items, and some secrets requiring using morph ovum to a team mate to go through small tunnels. Monster tp'ing is clearly mastered there, even better than Final Doom's. Too bad there isn't settings to make it affordable in single player. 4/5 nonetheless. ~Naan	x

Points of Interest      : E1M1 - Hall of the Lava Lord

You (and maybe your friends) have climbed
                          to the summit of the Lava Lord's mountain to
                          seek an audience, but is the Lava Lord even
                          there???

E1M2 - Fortress of the Lava Lord

Penetrating deeper into the Lava Lord's
                          domain you seek out his personal residence.
                          A very seclusive Lava Lord this is, indeed...

E1M3 - Crypt of the Lava Lord

Apparantly the Lava Lord spends more time
                          stalking his tomb than he does in his comfy
                          chair. At this point, I don't think he wants
                          you around, do you?

Considerations          : These PWADS have been built primarily with
                          Coop or Deathmatch play in mind. They CAN be
                          played Solo, however, there is at least one
                          area in each level that can only be reached
                          by cooperative effort (intended or otherwise).
                          Unless, of course, you cheat, Chicken-Boy...

Special Note            : For those of you that get distressed when you
                          come upon a seemingly unsurmountable number
                          of boss monsters, rest assured that there is
                          a quite easy and painless way to kill them in
                          these levels. This applies to Coop Mode only,
                          for Solo mode you're on your own...
