The gap in quality and entertainment value between this map and Kiljoy's previous is mind shatteringly wide. While his previous maps have been solid, they seemed to be released in reaction to current mapping trends, rather than forming new conceps and designs. But "Burning With Ecstasy" changes all that. A visual fiesta with an equally impressive layout yields a relentlessly addictive map. Lots of ledges and accessable verticallity ensures a very enjoyable and frantic play. One of my favorities.

A solid and slightly unusual level that is nonethtless comes across very nicely. While the visuals offer little new to the pallet, the layout (in particular the death pits below the lower level) offers a challenging and enjoyable play. Worth viewing to satisfy you're predatory needs.

A somewhat uneventful level, in terms of both gameplay and visuals. The texturing is not bad (although we've seen the scheme numerous times) but the architecture is just not that inspired. Likewise, the gameplay feels like a rehash of a bad clone of a Dapak series map. Nontheless, it is certainly a playable level, and you may as well get it to round off the collection.

A nice looking, small, post dapak era map. The texturing was fairly interesting at the time, although looks a bit plan by today's standards, while the architecture is effective but not outstanding. The level has a fairly cramped feel to it, particularly in the hallways, byut gameplay is decent nevertheless. A fun and solid, but not incredible, map.
