Review by Kim Robinson on 3rd August 2007
A pretty nice level with good, quality design, reasonable gameplay and more attention to detail than you could poke a comfortably long stick at. Despite this though the level lacks ambience or any real, 'adrenaline-pumping' moments - the whole thing is rather pedestrian and although it looks good it's on the whole a bit boring to play. The level progresses nicely however and there's a storyline, as well as a few viewscreens about to explain your predicament. Give it a go regardless, I mightn't know what I'm talking about. Note: JonoF's port doesn't sit well with the new CON file, but the map is just as playable without it.

Description : Duke is up against something far greater and more powerfull
than your
standard army of bloodthirsty aliens. This time, Mother Earth is out
to get him !
After having saved the earth numerous times, Duke is treated to an
all-expenses paid vacation by the EDF.
EDF, known to cut corners, sent Duke to the most
exotic and fun-filled place 125$ can buy.
"Dusty Creek Hotel", Arizona.
What Duke nor EDF knows is that the hotel is situated on top of
a dorment volcano. Until now. After just 2 days in "paradise",
Duke is suddenly tossed out of bed. Looks like the volcano
just woke up...
Your mission : Get the hell out of the hotel before it collapses !
