This map is really very small and crappy. On the other hand, it's still better than novice's levels like "marsbase" or "magnet" and not so boring. Also, I have had strange glitch when runned map at first time: winquake exited with error about bsp model.

i liked the crates of skulls & bones.

ET's Level of HELL on The Quake Grave

This level is not one I would recommend anyone play. It's a very short map, so there isn't much to it, but what is there is just a lump of annoyance. The lava area where you jump to the key and the lava trap in the middle of the floor after really worked to aggravate me while I played this. If that's what the author was going for, congrats! Otherwise, this map just isn't fun to play. I don't think this is one you need to play.

What this map lacks in length, gameplay and fun (those lava deaths, man; he could have at least made it possible to easily climb back up on those platforms), it tries to make up for it in presentation.

And I'd say the presentation's quite successful, with lighting playing a pivotal role at that. I especially found it really cool seeing the scrag silhouettes against the window in the dark lava corridor. The disembodied corpses against the walls and bones in crates really conveyed the message of hellish acts having been committed in those dark halls. So great atmosphere!

Contrary to the description, I think this map belongs more to the elder world than wizard subset of the medieval theme: It has those decaying wood and crumbled stone textures that are quite prominent in elder world maps. And don't forget those tortured people on the walls.

While the texturing and horror elements presented are pretty good, the map is too short and annoying to play through especially with that room with the platforming over the lava pit. I would only give this map a two out of five rating but would not really recommend others to spend time playing through this map as their are better quake maps to download and play through.
