This level is a modification of the Danger Room premise from the X-Men of Marvel Comics. The Danger Room is a huge arena where you take the role of Gable as he trains against enemies from the Dark Forces universe. Your goal is to just survive, or to leave by finding the red key and opening the exit. |
There have been lots of training levels put out, mostly for use by
internet groups. And all of them have had two things in common: lots of
enemies and lots of guns. Unfortunately, usually they also had another
thing in common, a lack of interesting gameplay, mostly brought about by a
poor plot. This is one level that breaks the mold.
I have no idea why this level appeals to me so much, but I can make a guess. It has a fresh concept that hasn't been used anywhere else to this point. While the stormtroopers lack the intelligence of other players, it's about as close as you can come to a multiplayer deathmatch in Dark Forces. Speaking of which, I'm hoping to see a modification of this when Jedi Knight comes out! The author described the real Danger Room as a massive arena where numerous fighters could train simultaneously, and I think that would make a great multiplayer level. We can always hope! |
Hey, I
enjoyed this level. As the author describes it, it's good for novices to
hone their skills if they're having trouble in other add-on levels. Or
it's good for veteran players to use to get some quick practice in. I
really like the idea; maybe there's a Danger Room for Katarn at the Crow's
Nest! However you put it, this level is fun, exciting, and never the same
twice!
