The first thing I said when I spawned in this map was, “What in the name of Holy Buddha’s left nut!?”, and then I let out a agonized sigh when I realized I was in a Me=Small map. I started in a giant bedroom covered with Barbie paraphernalia. Yes. Barbie. I know what you’re thinking, I said “wtf?” too.
But in all honesty boys and girls, this map is ok. I think the fact that this is a CTF map and not a DM like this absurd theme is often attached to, gave it a slight edge. The map is set in two bedrooms as bases, separated by multiple pathways that consist of vents, electrical lines, portals, more portals, and…the hallway. I never had a little sister, but I understood the concept: Boys room v.s. girls room. Heavy metal in one room, girl crap in the other. The map comes with all the inane Me=Small item collections you’d expect; huge deposits of guns and ammunition lying around, numerous power-ups, ect. Not so bad in here though. Most Me=small maps follow a tradition of putting all the detail in the main room and then reserving the simplicity to the sublevels of the map for places where you fit behind walls and inside furniture. This map is no different, and this erratic unbalance of decent looks and downright cubic crap brings the visual score down. I’d love to give the author props for the stuff in the rooms, like desk stuff and the pet cage, but this has been done so many times before and the map has nothing that hasn’t been done to death in this theme.
How does it play? Well it does, if that shocks you. As CTF, the map is built around a certain direction, not like the DM variations of this theme where it seems like God walked into the room, pulled up her skirt, and lets the game-play splatter everywhere. The CTF game-type plants the seed for decent CTF action, and fans of Me=Small are probably going ape crap over this one. Using jumpboots, jumppads, portals, and the X-loc, you should navigate across this place quick. The sub-levels are kinda ghey though. I took a vent route a few times and bots never seem to go down there and there is this one place where you spawn in this electrical wiring kinda space and it is confusing how the hell you get out of there, or what direction to go. In fact, taking any indirect route is kinda icky since bots have no concept of what the hell is going on in those areas.
The Prophet’s Verdict: I still don’t see a reason to take this gimmick theme seriously, but this one gave it a good shot. The game-flaws plus the visual errors keep this map from getting an average score, but I know there will be plenty of comments to pop up under this review that say, “Awesome!!!!!!!1 Rox my Cox! 10!”
