Review
Reviewer QAPete Overall Score:  8/10 Date NC2 12-08-2000 Note: This is an old review, imported into our database. John's UT maps thus far have been more studies in exceptionally detailed design more than playable levels, but here's where that stops cold. DM-ArkhamAsylum is a good looking, fast paced thriller that will keep you hopping. There's really nowhere to hide here, so you'd better be fast and accurate, or you be dead.... 8-12 players is about right in this unique abandoned asylum, where the strange were imprisoned and apparently tortured (nice meat hooks, John). The layout and item placement are just right, and you'll find it difficult to get into a rhythm while you're being hunted down by your opponents. Lighting is bright, which is a good thing, as you'll need to catch even the slightest glimpse of trouble if you are to avoid it (or eliminate it). John's done an excellent job of putting together excellent gameplay elements with a touch of his special brand of artistic acumen. An excellent download - don't hesitate for a minute!

David 'DAVIDM' Münnich Rating: 0   muhahaha :D Bubb05 Rating: 3   This map is dull. The lighting could've been a lot better. The texturing isn't very well selected. Twrecks Rating: 8   I can still taste the blood. Theme exicution (pardon the pun) and custom texturing are superb. Ramdole Kang Rating: 7.5   While it has its flaws, Arkham Asylum near perfectly executes its theme. I love a good asylum. The custom textures are wonderful, and the bots know how to run this map. The horror, the horror..... Metago Rating: 2.5   wtf Lestat Rating: 7.5   I really like John's maps, he always go's to the trouble of making extra textures, and always has nice clean architecture. This map is an oldie but a goodie, get it! Akuma Rating: 4   How on earth can a map not built on the grid be 'nice and clean'? Be good for a realistic mod or something I guess. Shockrifle Rating: 0   I absolutely think this map is crap. Boring things everywhere, stupid blood tunnels and electricity that, despite my effort put into it, completely failed to kill me, Hate Hate Hate! Lustmord Rating: 8   Couldn't disagree more. I love the theme, and even bots on Masterful beat me down on this one. 4NK8R Rating: 9.5   Lustmord has the right of it...this map is fukn' AWESOME! Gives me the creeps! Enter the dark tunnels and pull your trigger... the resulting flash usually exposes a bloodthirsty bot hungry for my guts standing right in front of me!!!! BRRRRRR!!!! chills up and down my spine! most of you guys fail to recognize that the aim of a good map is flow, and, in my opinion, playability! QUIT BITCHING about all the things YOU guys find wrong with the map, or design some of your own so that WE can trash YOUR map with a shitty review! As for me, i'll not quit playing it anytime soon! Fukkin' great map! (You can quote me...) sextech Rating: 8   Bubb, it's dull because because the "disturbing mood" is trying to be set. You think an asylum like that would be brightly lit? or dark as hell? no, dull is where it's at! Slabjacker Rating: 8   Cool map! I like the atmosphere - kinda creepy. Tough to move around without getting shrapnel or bullets but I'm only a rookie. Nevertheless, a keeper in my books. [VSK]_Giant_Robot 01-14-2003 10:52 PM MST Rating: 8   LOVE THIS MAP!! Had it in my server. I would have given it a 9, but the players quickly figured out the limited (and predictable) spawn points, and the spawn killers were having a field day. Great job though!!...Keep 'em comin'!! Bootycall 01-15-2003 01:03 PM MST Rating: 8   the ambient sounds rocked, textures were kick ass, great fast pace map, lifts were well placed.. if you dont like this map, then you need to go back to the ctf-face knock offs.. and anyone that gave it less than a 4, please show me to a map that you think above a 7. Mxtrmntr 01-15-2003 07:14 AM MST Rating: 3   while i don't feel like i "need to go back to the ctf-face knock offs", i don't like this map. it's possibly angelheart's worst and doesn't have anything to do with the epic (no pun intended) scale of his later work. some of the usual atmosphere-enhancing stuff and some nice details (like the disturbing pictures on some of the walls), but neither gameplay nor graphics are good, and the theme could have been better as well. ]BMR[VorLoN 01-15-2003 02:20 PM MST Rating: 1   Bah, imo THIS SUCKS!
