"I cannot say I recall anything from the original "bad" level, but I am not sure the remake, 20 years later, is doing us any favors. Not much to do here in a square box in a desert with a sort of pyramid in the middle - other than kill a few ninjas, pick up a secret, and exit through the gates. There is actually an attempt at creativity with the camera work that shows promise, but everything else is rather lazy and uninspired, so it's not really worth a look. Sorry." - MichaelP

"Not really what I'd call necessary but maybe there's more to come. Almost nothing to do here else than some basic actions and shooting a few ninjas in a less than mediocre environment. Found the secret in 3 minutes of playtime." - manarch2

"Nothing really interesting in this very short level, playing in a big box with monotonous texturization and flat lighting, shoot some enemies, pull a floor lever, pick up a torch and nothing more. As the title says, after 20 years, another bad level. Not enjoyable, but even so I wrote the walkthrough." - Jose
grizzly
"Not much to do in this mini level just kill 4 baddies light a torch and take a dive and hop finished" - grizzly
Ryan
"To keep this review short, I could just say: I 100% agree with DJ Full's succinct review. From my recollection of the previous "version" of this level, it has been slightly improved. But not by much, sadly. The textures are slightly more refined, there is a tad more gameplay in the form of a brief torch sequence and it has a proper finish trigger. But this still doesn't amount to a whole lot. We'll see what this returning builder brings us next..." - Ryan
DJ Full
"The map and progress feel quite the same, after 20 years you'd expect something more. But it has a couple of new things included, so if you must, defo try it over the original then swap to that one for the second level." - DJ Full
