MWDoom (Magic Walker Doom) by Michael 'Magic Walker' Neuhoff

This is a nine level mod for Doom II.

Design:  8 out of 10

Difficulty: 7 out of 10

Replay value: 7 out of 10

            I've also read that this is multiplayer as well.  I used ZDoom (my fav engine) and it played fine.  Each map is pretty much chucked full of run and gun, duck the snipe kinda action which breaks up the switch and key hunting pretty well.  There is a lot of running back and forth (find switch catch lift/door...find switch find way to key)  which is always an annoyance in Doom, but hey...it's par for the course, right?

            The level build design is like an amped up version of "what would Doom II look like if....?" Not really original but it takes the traditional approach to designing and comes off clean and pure; shading is used to good effect, no stuck doors or spaces too small.  Baddies and items are spread out and balanced so when you get a whuppin' don't sweat it; there's a health cache around the next corner.  The ol' key trap is used often so save before you grab a key, else you'll get put in a bad spot really quick.

            All in all, not a bad mod.  Set aside some playtime for this one.
