This is really for the attention of micheal prager.........Micheal, for the most part your site provides a fair overview of the levels available, however I have serious doubts about some things. Having read Torry's review of my level (Celtic Folly), I really wonder how accurate these reviews are?

What was said by yourself and Leandro was as far as I am concerned, fair comment but the other reviews, strike me very much as either playing with the fly-cheat enabled (david) or not installing the levels correctly (Torry).

I have no problem with a bad review (It will push me to improve!!!) but if the review says things that are blatantly untrue (and as the author I know they are) , then please be aware that things are not as they should be............ come on, how can a level be rated if it hasn't been played properly?

Well, as level 3 started it was EXACTLY the same as level 2. So maybe I installed it incorrectly (dunno about that) or I got a wrong file. Either way, send me the level 3 tom and I'll have another look.

The reviews are ALWAYS unbiased. However, any technical problems cannot be forseen.

I have had one problem with that site and hope that is being resolved because I have taken an email to him(Michael). There was a mix up in the reviews, I got someone elses review page linked to mine. I hope that the review is right.

I take it you mean that the start room for level 3 is exactly the same as the finish room for level 2....... if so that would be logical as they are 3 LINKED levels.

If the start rooms are both the same then you installed level 2 twice, simple as that!

Sending you the .TOM file might be a problem as it has been modified and exists in a custom WAD now. I can go through my files to see if I have the original...... but the level can still be downloaded from http://www.tombraider-customlevels.fsnet.co.uk

without the review site that Michael has produced, we wouldn't have any idea of which level is worth playing, and even though a couple of my levels had suffered in the reviews, I'm not complaining because they were only ever meant as a guide anyway. I think most people are intelligent enough to decide wether a review is telling the truth or not.

@Inch,

understand your concerns (as said before) and it is only fair to be critical about the reviews that you receive. That is why each reviewer is listed with her/his eMail address, so I would suggest you discuss directly with the reviewers. They are free to revise their reviews anytime if required.

@Brad,

sorry about the glitch - is being fixed right now...

@Dhama,
well said

HAPPY RAIDING!
Michael.
