[center]The Puzzling[/center]


[center]By KhaosKreator[/center]


[center]Genre[/center]


[center]The Puzzling is what its name says it is. a PUZZLE map (obviously!) with i think its over 40 Puzzles to solve with 2 of your friends (its a 3 player game) and some things in the game are Very, i repeat VERY Confusing and take a long time to figure out. This game is Not for everybody.Right to the review!)[/center]


[center]Gameplay[/center]
[center]Gameplay in the puzzling, like i said. can get Very confusing, you have to have 2 friends or Random people be incredibly skilled and good with timing in order to get pasted some of the puzzles. Very Confusing not for everyone.[/center]

[center]7/10[/center]


[center]Story[/center]
[center]I Rate storylines above all else. Unfortunately, this map has absolutely 0% Story in it whatsoever. therefore..[/Center]

[center]1/10[/center]


[center]Sound[/center]
[center]o Wow i tell ya. the sound in this is worse then listening to elevator music for fun, After about 20 minutes your brain cells will EXPLODE I ASURE IT.[/center]

[center]4/10[/center]


[center]Complexity[/center]
[center]THIS, however seems like an incredibly complex map with some mapping skills not many of us have. however with a small trigger count of 398, its easy to question how complex it really is..[/center]

[center]7/10[/center]


[center]Terrain[/center]
[center]not much i can say about the terrain in this...it is Very...rectangular....all of it...ALL OF IT IS RECT OK? it is not very good but fitting all of the Obstacle areas in the game in a 128x128 map is very impressive.[/center]

[center]7/10[/center]


[center]OVERALL
[center]This map scores an easy[/center]

[center]7/10 From Mp)Lyon[/center]

I like how you say it has zero storyline so you give it a 1/10. ohmy.gif

Anyways, I agree mostly with MP)Lyon's review, but I have my views on how to grade maps:

Gameplay: As Lyon said, can be entertaining or get very confusing... Probably, the only reason I didn't vote this as a 10 is because I couldn't beat it.. grrr.... ranting.gif

Story: 0/10, but who cares? I understand Lyon for saying that stories are very important for games, but to me it seems silly that you would need a storyline to a puzzle game. Any person who could actually get a heavy storyline for a series of puzzles (like the movie"The Cube") should get a 20/10 in this area.

Sound: ??/10 I didn't really care much sound. Since I'm neither for nor against it, I don't think i could give it a proper rating.

Complexity: 10/10 Nicely done! Maybe or not the triggers are complex, but the puzzles.... Evil!!!!!!!!

Terrain: 10/10 It functions and gets the job done with a little bit of flair.

Overall, I give this map an 8 out of 10. It's a great map; all of those people who have never heard of this map should play it. It encourages teamwork and thinking. smile.gif

The Puzzling wasn't only created by KhaosKreator. There was either 1 or 2 more that worked with KhaosKreator.

Overall it was pretty fun until it gets you frustrated. The sound get pretty annoying after a while, wish I Could turn it off without completely turning off sound. Challenging and fun.

Lethal_Illusion and I actually have prepared

"The Puzzeling II"

Fully Custom rooms (3d Interiors) using the same principles to which made this map popular to many more then just a few.

This map will probably get completed inbetween Crescent Dyne and Wothenball and might be released within a month or week of Crescent Dyne expected in late June 2006.



I loved the gameplay except for the fustration (I am going to add a Riddle to each room's current puzzle to give you a hint on how to solve it, and these riddles will be mostly very complexly coded literitly.) and you kno me...

I didn't favor the terrain that much -.-

Also, we were adding a storyline, very short, but probably will have a few scenes during the jouney to escape the puzzle!



I have played this map and I would give it a 4/10 because I only played for a little bit but it was still awsome even though I played it far after it was released...
