Review by Colin Phipps

9-LEVELS is a 9 level episode, replacing Knee-Deep. The levels are all easy, with much too much ammo and health, and few serious opposition.

The levels all follow the same style, which would normally be commendable; however the style they follow is totally rubbish. The levels consist of mazes of corridors, with no interesting rooms. Even in corridors there are misaligned and mismatched textures. There are also wafer thin walls.

There are frustrating unmarked secrets that are essential to complete the levels. I could stand no more after 4 levels, when I became fed up searching for an unmarked secret.
