Lost Highway | Single/DM | Author: Not sure - Petr & Lukas? | Download 460Kt
Rarely you find old stuff that's good - luckily Nancsi706 from AMC forums
pointed me to right direction and now we have a brand new episode here -
straight from the grave!
This product most likely comes from Czech Republic and it features six levels
with a bunch of new sounds & a midi (which I had turned off for various reasons).
First of all let me congratulate the author for the new weapon sounds which were
all fantastic.
The levels just might follow a storyline but since I don't speak a word of
Czech I can't say what is it all about. The flow and continuation is perfect
- like at the end of the first level you enter a bus and start the second level
driving it. It's nothing we haven't seen before but it's still done in a way
it should always be done.
Locations vary quite a lot - you start from a warehouse/border-station of some sort
and continue to a hotel where you spend some time kicking alien asses. Then it's time
to hit the road again and visit a gass station. This is the level where you might be
forced to use dnclip during a particular underwater area (if you can't swim back to the
surface because of a teleportation bug). There's also a good looking car-chase going
around the map as you kick some butt. The fourth map is a standard mountain base and
the fifth is a mountain/hi-tech map with huge outdoor areas. This is also the hardest
of the pack. The boss map is short but enjoyable.
Design is a bit above average although the fifth level looks a bit too undetailed at
times (and Jonof causes some bugs with visibility). The mood is right - most likely
because continuation between the levels works. Just remember to 'dnclip' if you get
stuck near the end of the third map and explore the train wreck carefully in the fift
map.
Conclusion: "Lost Highway" turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Good levels, good gameplay and
enough variety to cheer you up (the shotgun & pistol models are from 3D-Models section)
