Review by Kim Robinson on 12th August 2007
A mostly outdoor based level with nice design, a high fun factor and plenty of enemies to keep you entertained for half an hour. Layout is nicely realistic, rocks and overhangs and such are textured well. Inside bits are quite alright as well, although are a little cramped in places and don't really fit in with the theme. A couple of the puzzles are real buggers too, but for the most part are straightforward enough.
