However, Raptore shows promise with the inclusion of a couple of nice touches such as the bobbing crates in the maps only water section and the underwater tunnel, with shimmering windows. Whilst these effects help raise the level a little, it doesnt do enough. There are odd things that dont make any sense, like why the first time you walk over a player spawn it says -1 and the mysterious floating YA. Elements like this make the level feel more like a test map than anything else.

And I hate to say it but it doesnt get any better whilst playing. There is more than enough supply of weapons, ammo, health, etc, but movement is so cumbersome that its depressing. If the scale were expanded and a little more care taken with texture alignment then it could have been more that just a novelty.
