Review by Kim Robinson on 3rd February 2008

It's been a long time coming but the ADG episode has finally made it to the Repository - and while nothing can be said about it that is in any way different from what has been said before, it'll get a nice little review anyway. Firstly it's for Duke v1.4+ only (so if you own v1.3D jumping out a window might be the only humane thing left to do), and second, if you've come to know and trust Ale's levels like I have you won't even bother reading on - you'll install the damn thing without hesitation and get on with it. All in all however, a very well done Duke episode - levels are laid out magnificently and flow reasonably smoothly, and key cards aren't too difficult to find which is a good thing with the complexity of some levels. Respawn has been used extensively, 'unlocking' certain areas will spawn a whole lot of new enemies in another place - going out and meeting them is fun and keeps gameplay quite intense. Although it's one of his earlier works, Ale's levels are still designed very well with plenty of detail, and everything from weapons to enemies to powerups are in their rightful places.

There's no new music or art but textures have been well chosen, and this together with some great shading and lighting (check out the gradient lighting in the corridors of ADG05) add to the atmosphere of each level. Anyway, you don't need me to tell you anything more about it - if you haven't already got the download happening seek medical treatment.
