Reviewer's comments

"Ok, all I can conclude from this, is that Cain has a severe case of worms and crabs, and a few gall stones for good measure, at least I thought those rolling balls were gall stones... Gameplay consists purely of fighting different monsters, some of which can't be killed until you get a rocket launcher, well half a dozen of them. There's a ride in a pizza hut delivery van which is the highlight of the game, other than the end. I'm not sure what Cain is trying to say with Lara dropping out of whereever she drops out of. This took me a little over 10 minutes to complete." - davep83 (04-Apr-2013)

"Righ,Lara is going to cross a body, and in the way since Androids, until t-rex as evil. Man, what's that?! Animals appear without no reason after to activate a switch. It was creative, but very little careful in relation of graphic, and enemies. I found funny Lara driving the car of the pizza hut. But, why giant black animals are swimming in the belly of a man?!" - Dgenocroft (29-Dec-2010)

"Now something completely strange. Gameplay was absent here, only the (quite well designed) "Pizza Hut" - bike ride promises a bit fun in this short level, which lasted 8 minutes for me. The idea of a level in a human (Cain) was interesting, but there was no atmosphere and very bad textures, exspecially at the bike ride. Enemies however are quite well designed and shooting all of them while conserving few medikits was a nice challenge at the beginning. But I don't understand why Cain placed enemies in the stomach pool, as they were absolutely no threat for Lara. Her outfit looks OK, though, as the first "droids" (as DJ Full calls them). All in all an adventure not nice for viewing nor for playing." - manarch2 (29-Dec-2010)

"I did not understand, Lara drives a pizza hut in a totally bizarre, the textures seem a bunch of squares together all the enemies are weird and totally bizarre as those sharks in the water if sharks a chicken makes a strange sound totally bizarre I hope you're a great developer of levels, I hope to improve!" - Jessica Croft (23-Dec-2010)

"Is this really the inner life of Cain? I know, that Cain a very strange person is, but I would not have expected this now really. Although, if one knows, how and where Cain lives (to see in Cain\'s Home), it is not so quite astonishing any more. But sometimes in seriously: Cain has been actual to take care a lot. The level is, for his relations, really good. Really good refers of course in this case not to the totatlity of all levels, but rather only to the tastes which come from Cain. A reasonable lighting is apparent still non-issue for Cain. The same one is valid to the too short playing times. But Cain still has esoteric ideas. On it goes in a new adventure with his usual monsters and a pizza delivery van." - Scottie (10-Jun-2009)

"I thought that this builder could evolve along the time, but it's the same kind of level than the others: a lot of big enemies placed everywhere, simple architecture, bad textured and nothing more. The best: Lara's outfit and the race with the car." - Jose (16-Sep-2008)

"After reading the author's comment about this level, I was expecting something a little more... thorough... To be quite honest the only good thing about this level was the Pizza Hut delivery van. And I think at the start I picked up 5 shotguns?! Not recommended." - Phys (03-Sep-2008)

"There is some ideas in the level that fit with the very original storyline, but soon it just becomes another series of square rooms with mainly plenty of giant eels to kill. It is very short, under 10 minutes and I felt somewhat disappointed when compared to some other Cain’s levels I have played." - eRIC (22-Aug-2008)

"This little level from Cain is an unusual shooter with some fairly decent-looking enemies and a cute Pizza Hut car. The best part of the level was Lara's outfit and Lara herself. I thought she looked pretty, but that lovely white dress would not be so lovely had she she really fought her way through the bowels of Cain. Nothing much to do here but shoot your way through." - Shandroid (10-Aug-2008)

"After reading the story i wondered how Cain was going to pull this ambitious idea off! And the answer is: quite well, in a Cain way, actually. You start off in Cain's mouth (complete with teeth) and after sliding down his throat you arrive at his stomach which has giant eels swimming in his gastic fluids. (I'd lay off the sushi if I were you Cain.) After a surreal pizza delivery truck ride past some T-Rex's (!) and encounters with other weird and wonderful enemies that we have grown to love from previous Cain epics we exit Cain in the way nature intended! I thought the Atlantis textures were an excellent choice, them being 'fleshy' and OK they were badly wallpapered in parts but I am beginning to see that as being part of Cain's 'charm'. It's silly, it's fun, it's got ridiculous enemies, it's a Cain game." - Kitkat (24-Jul-2008)

"What a flimsy story and what a terrible execution. Oh well we are sort of used to what this builder can (or is it… will) make. I races through it, not even wanted to try and kill the enemies." - Gerty (24-Jul-2008)

"It's a cheeky idea and in the hands of a different builder it could really have lead to something.This is a Cain level,though,so you simply run and shoot and drive and shoot and run and (for good measure) shoot some more. There are plenty of enemies,but they're not particularly well placed and the T-Rexes are apparently harmless.Nonetheless,I found this the most enjoyable of Cain's levels...but that's not saying much,really." - Orbit Dream (23-Jul-2008)

"I'll give it that - I didn't expect the next Cain escapade to take us on a riveting journey through his digestive apparatus! And it's all there - starting from the mouth, to the stomach with the deadly gastric acid and then a long, long trip through the intestines till you finally drop out through... erm... well, the other end. With enough imagination you could draw analogies with the enemies you encounter as helminths and tapeworms, so I guess Lara is doing Cain a great favor and sparing him from a trip to the doctor and lengthy healing procedures! But I'll probably leave this all at that, before I start getting even more graphic. Basically it's what you'd usually expect from a Cain level - though I'll admit that, whilst lacking very much in presentation - the idea as such was not bad, if a bit gross." - eTux (21-Jul-2008)

"This is a typical nightmare Cain production, full of the usual hordes of highly improbable enemies. I’ve given it an extra point for gameplay mainly because I like the idea of Lara fighting her way through Cain’s innards (and I’m just really REALLY glad we didn’t get to see inside his brain because that might have been the scariest raid ever) and the nifty little Pizza Hut vehicle Lara got to drive." - Jay (21-Jul-2008)

"Yay, another cain level. Cain appears to be a giant that has eaten one too many guns and lara has to go inside him and back out the other end. The gameplay consists of shooting things and running down long passages watching enemies appear in front of your eyes. The only good thing was the brief ride in the pizza hut car and this bumped the gameplay up to 1. Cain describes this level as an amazing level that is completely unique. Well, it certainly is unique but not something I want to play again. 7 mins. Not recommended." - Cory (21-Jul-2008)

"Dissapointing! Cain, your "Traaaapppeeed" level was a whole lot better then this one. You've made full use of the Texture ceiling, floor on walls button. Not good, the gameplay is awful. Sorry Cain, but you can do better then this." - Larson 1988 (21-Jul-2008)

"I have to admit that the idea of fighting your way through a digestive system is rather original and also funny idea. After all I didn't particularly enjoy this level because it doesn't have proper gameplay and all you have to do is to shoot enemies, run and drive a pizza hut car. Surroundings were boxy and didn't include good texturing and light effects. Unfortunately this level didn't make any kind of impression on me." - Samu (21-Jul-2008)

"If you know one, you know them all. A typical, linear, shoot-whatever-gets-in your-way, 10 minute long level by Cain. It has the faintest hints of some originality in the very first room, which you can assume to be the inside of Cain's mouth, but soon enough this loses its appeal and the only remaining nice things here are the always cool Pizza Hut car and Lara's pretty outfit, both of which the credit goes to somebody else and not the author himself. Only for the completists out there..." - MichaelP (20-Jul-2008)

"This level offers the same as pretty much every other Cain outing out there, meaning very little interesting gameplay, and a ton of enemies to deal with. Even the enemies are the same as usual, with the exception of those well-known boulder bears that seem to be missing this time around...hopefully next time we'll at least see some new foes to add at least some interest to the same old formula." - Spike (20-Jul-2008)
