DIFFICULTY RATING  - rating: 9.5      

     This was a well-rounded replacement with just the right amount of ammo and baddies and switches to figure out. There were a few secrets worth expending some gray matter. This has a good balance on either skill level and is not too hard or too easy at all.

Playability -  rating: 10      

     The playability is right along the lines of the original with small pauses between skirmishes for finding switches and keys, a couple of ambushes here and there and lots of room to romp around in. I almost gave this area a lower score because the fighting was too predictable on some levels, but when I got a fireball in the gut from a surprise locale every now and again, I changed my mind. Even a Doomer well worth his salt will get a bitch-slap in this replacement!

Level Design -  rating: 10   

     There were some really neat tricks in this replacement like the slimefall in a washroom, an invisible bridge. The structuring was expertly made, no doubt. The fog/lighting effects were pretty snazzy too. I really liked how the author made good use of the two-toned textures in one of the maps. So in a nutshell, Rais is a must-see, must play kind of wad.
