Gamer magazine in conjunction with mapper extraordinaire Neil Manke
and his creative team have joined forces to bring you a Quake2 adventure
quite like no other.
You
play the infamous Coconut Monkey (the PC Gamer Mascot) who has taken up
residence on an island paradise. Coconut Monkey has become the target of
the evil Pierre who along with his gang of vacation clad henchmen (and
women) attempt to thwart your livelihood and snuff out your little virtual
simian existence.
Manke
has returned in fine creative form and with this release demonstrates why
he is still the quake level author to watch. As your island paradise is
rocked with rumbling volcanoes you are tossed about, often at the most
perilous times. The ground will often break loose beneath your feet, and
flowing boiling lava will have you scurrying for higher ground. The first
time you encounter lava on the move heading towards you, it is quite difficult
not to panic. Nothing is stable here, expect the unexpected.
The
look and feel of this level may take a few minutes getting used to. This
is not your usual Quake2 futuristic setting. Much like the humorous Quake1
classic "Happy Fun
Quake", Neil has taken the familiar and transformed it into a new and
highly original gameplay experience.
New
skins, sounds and models help to complete the transformation.
But
don't let the humorous look fool you, this is much more than just monkey
business. This is one tough engaging level.

A nice refreshing
break from the usual Quake2 experience. |

Those that
like their Quake2 served serious need not apply. |

A Quake2 level
with a sense of humor and plenty of tough exciting gameplay. |
