Your
starting point, a crash landing replete with resulting explosions.
Sheesh, what a mess
|

View
over the Strogg Pumping Station bridge. What are these guys pumpin' anyway...acid?

Watch
your step here, first one in up to their knees gets to watch their shins
dissolve.

Marty
certainly knows how to get you involved in a level. The resulting crash
landing of your ship has you thrown out thankfully clear of the explosions
although you still take some damage. |
Your
next task is a bit more tricky. For in order to get out ya gotta get in.
The only exit outta this "steenking" situation happens to be located deep
within' the Strogg pumping station. Ok, well I suppose that gives you a
pretty good reason to engage in all this senseless violence, it's vital
to the plot! |
One
of the first things you will notice about this level is the dreamlike quality
of the lighting. It appears that you have landed at dusk or perhaps the
Strogg evenings simply have this erie ghost like quality. Whatever the
reason the lighting is superbly strange and nightmarish. |
Architecture
is also done very well with a maze of pipes and fixtures and outcroppings
of earth reminding you that this entire installation is built within and
under ground. The ever present pools of acid also add to the hostile yet
seemingly working industrial environment. Half the fun here is simply traversing
the landscape and exploring the dimly lit nooks and crannies. |
Marty
has also included an Indiana Jones type puzzle to keep you on (or perhaps
off) your feet and there are also a few "sudden" surprises that are sure
to catch you off guard. |
