| NC2 map imported without screenshot. |  | | | | Review |
| | Reviewer | Luquado | Overall Score: | 2.5/10 | | Date | NC2 12-14-2000 |
WOW! This map scores perfectly on theme. Jennifer executed the "style" of Escher beautifully in this level; I absolutely dig the starkness of this level throughout. Framerates are decent. Unfortunately, as Escher's geometrical impossibilities lie, maps based off of his work consistently are poor DM performers. Jennifer, you should have released this as an "Other" map and it would have scored higher, but I've got to judge it as a DM, and it falls down.. hard. Sorry. |

| | Ramdole Kang | Rating: 7.5 | | GRRRRRR.... all the recent re-reviews have been dissing wonderful maps which have never left my collection! don't listen to Luquado! This map is great! Playability, flow and items should all be scored much higher than they are! I love this map! well, at least it got a 10 in theme
| | Ebola | Rating: 7 | | I'm with Ramdole. This was a great map, at least for those of us twisted enough to appreciate it. Luquado's apparently not "one of us." It wasn't perfect, it wasn't Epic quality, but it was damn good and for those who can appreciate it, damn fun as well.
| | Akuma | Rating: 0 | | And a good thing too, I'd hate to think of 'one of you' running NC :P Terrible aesthetics & layout aside this map is riddled with portals that hitscan weapons cant shoot though rendering it unplayable.
| | Wiz | Rating: 6 | | I liked this map. needs more sounds and textures but gameplay wise its pretty good
| | Locutus of Borg | Rating: 10 | | A perfect ten for this really awesome map. Perfect flow, well placed items and the most psychedelic design i have ever seen. I played it for hours and hours and still do. I simply love it.

| | Kain | Rating: 0 | | I don't really think this map is worth a 0, I'm just bringing the user score down again after that 10, which it quite clearly is not worth.
| | Agent X | Rating: 4 | | It's an artistic piece of work, but portals annoy me, like Akuma mentioned. Maybe it could have been released in the other category. hehe, what is that anyways?
| | Guile | Rating: 6.5 | | At first it seems like a really cool map (The room with the trees is incredible)...then the problems start to hit. The theme is awesome, but it can make for some transporter and layout problems. Many times I have wandered through a door only to be telefragged by a stray bot, who was flickering on and off... I really like Escher's drawings, but they really don't make for an awesome DM map.
| | Flange Bucket | Rating: 7 | | I agree that this map has flaws and could maybe do with an update but I find the originality of it and the gameplay make up for the rough edges and I think most UT players appreciate originality in maps just as much if not more than copy's of Epic style ones which always seem towin the CliffyB ownage accolades. I for one would love to see more maps like this on server rotations.
| | Scourge | Rating: 5 | | Bots will never, ever understand portals - and thus they'll never understand this map either. But for playing on a LAN with 2-3 human players it can do - simply cause it's so damn confusing. It has also brought a whole new experience to my UT game...I've never accidentaly sniped at myself before. :P
| | [Brain] | Rating: 8 | | I like that you can kill yourself with the sniper ^_^ Architecture is really good, only the textures are too simple. But a very funny map with new ideas, just like every map from Jennifer.
| | Lustmord | Rating: 7.5 | | I still play this one, albeit with people more so than bots. Let's face it, even on godlike they act like Quake3 fanatics. The theme is impressive, and you have to appreciate the effort on this one

10-08-2004 04:19 AM MDT | Rating: 6.5 | | I'm definitely not a fan of Jennifer's other projects, but I do like this map. It's good for multiplayer, and I don't find the bots having that much trouble going at each other and at me. However there are a couple big problems.
1) The floating light. If you get below it and look up at it, you freeze until you get killed. A rather big glitch technically, but who's going to stare at the light when there's people to frag? (Obviously Chisa!)
2) Generic UT portal hitscan, as covered earlier, and with all of those portals, it adds up.
Other than that, the only thing I can take issue with is where Jennifer put the Redeemer. It's too simple to get it and nuke everyone in the main chamber.
