Chaos Realm

Description
I like this map - it's cool. That's not to say its technically well made, or particularly full of eye-candy, or even with good gameplay. It's just that its so abstract, and there's some really funky shadowing going on that just makes it look very cool to me. Unfortunately, that isn't enough to merit a good rating, but it's nice to see something a little bit different! :D

I have to say, that the duel pad here is a nice little area. It is made from alternating floor squares, with gaps in between, which makes for some very interesting duelling. I also really liked the music, it got me so pumped up to go and slay some people with my lightsaber, like lambs to the slaughter...and uh, what was I saying again? Hehe, anyway, my point is, that I just enjoyed the change in flow. The shadowing, as Ive already mentioned, is very random looking and funky, but the lighting is a little off, because there are some splodges on the ceiling with no sources.

The indoor areas are the poorer sections of this map which look as though they've had much less effort put into them. Some are basically your beginners box-room, which isn't very appealing, and you've got the proverbial repeating texture in various areas such as the large walkway around the border of the map. Furthermore, the lack of bot support leads to a certain amount of depression for me, which is a bad thing, especially as it really isn't hard to do. So, what I'm saying is: This map isn't technically good, but it is...different. If you like the look of it I suggest you check it out - and to the author, work on your technical skills, and then maybe you can turn this from a map with a difference into a great map with a difference.
