Review by Kim Robinson on 25th August 2007
The finale to Fernando's Orbital Oblivion episode, Viewport is a generally fun, gratifyingly violent level - with plenty of effects, alien egg hives and explosions to keep you entertained. There's a couple of buttons whose function were altogether unclear (at least for me), and you may find yourself re-traversing the entire level trying to find which forcefield has been disabled. That aside, the alienesque design has been very nicely done, borrowing certain elements from the original levels in Episode 2 - Lunar Apocalypse. The custom music, low lighting and the sound of eggs hatching keeps the atmosphere nice and heavy.
The extensive underwater area is a nice feature, and there's a nasty trap involving laser tripbombs and explosives you'll have to be careful of. The end boss at the very top is entirely beatable, despite the enclosed space - just use the available cover and smack 'im with some RPGs. Check it out!

Boss level. Safe by just barely steps ahead of the huge explosion which took the Alien Fusion Tower to a crumble, Duke finally reaches the spacebase the alien forces have set up for the moon asault Overlord to lead the attack schemes. "No more pissin' the good ol' guy anymore. This is personal" - Duke shrugs as he steps from the shuttle to greet a visit to the alien scum.
