Reviewer's comments |
"A very straightforward Nevada level. Most of the level is square rooms, some of which feel like they were copy + pasted from each other, and some blocky outdoor building areas. There are some missing textures and glitchy room portals that make the game feel unstable. Lighting is flat and textures are a bit wallpapered. Gameplay is light and involves pushing some blocks out of your way, shooting some guards and dogs (and seeing a friendly prisoner), and climbing around to find several switches. If you want an easy TR3 level then this isn't a bad way to kill some time. 34 minutes." - JesseG (01-Dec-2020) |

"I don't know why but I saw this level and
was interested by the title, some of
the References to George Orwell were
cool,. But the level itself is a bit
easy but Fun to play. 25/40" - JoeTheCrazyGamer (28-Jun-2020) |

"Another relatively easy Tomb Raider 3 level which I did not mind at all. Textures are generally good with the odd fade out here and there but the game played well. Collecting shotgun shells all level and you finally find the shotgun near the end." - Torry (14-Oct-2019) |

"I'll admit the texture work, using the confusing London set, is particularly good, but it's let down by a handful untextured spots, nearly non-existant lighting, and most of the rooms are boxy and generally empty. Gameplay is pretty linear, with the odd pushblock to break the sequence of remote buttons and doors. Not really much else to say. 20 minutes. 10/19" - Treeble (06-Oct-2019) |

"Haven't watched the movie, but I know what it's about and
saw some allusions to it in this level. Basically we
discover a London/Nevada environment and kill some enemies
for about 10 minutes. I got stuck for a while, because it
was too unclear that a simple wall was a ladder. I wonder if
the guy on the "Big brother is watching you"-Posters is
actually the level builder himself?" - Nuri (03-Jun-2019) |

"FZ gives the player a quick jaunt through a dystopian London-themed environment. There are plenty of pickups and enemies to shoot. Lots of buttons and boxes. It's a fun little jaunt that lasts about 20 minutes or so. I liked the custom "Big Brother" texture used. Nice to see some originality and creativity in these older levels! This raid is on the easy side." - Chel (05-Nov-2018) |

"Generally, the atmosphere was not bad, somehow enjoyed it.
The use of buttons and keycards were average, and a few
were placed badly, as it consumed a lot of time in order to
be found. I wish there were musics involved, which brought
the atmosphere a bit more to life. Thanks !" - Mehrbod (01-Aug-2018) |

"The environments have not a bad look, and some triangular textures are well applied, but in some places I noticed missing textures. The architecture is simple, and the only tasks you'll find are look for buttons to open doors and shoot dogs and guards. There are camera targets in some places, but the atmosphere is poor without musics or flybys. The shotgun appeared too late, and the movable blocks are here only to hide pickups. Not entertaining but playable anyway." - Jose (04-Nov-2017) |

"The builder uses a mixture of Nevada and London elements to
create a gloomy setting which unfortunately does not leave
a lasting impression. There are a handful of references to
1984 via graffiti and posters but other than that this
could simply be a normal city level. The gameplay is pretty
uninspiring and too easy. There are a few items hidden
under blocks and a few switches hidden in a corner but
otherwise this is a linear level which, while pretty decent
for its time, will probably not entertain the modern
raider." - Ejecta (14-Aug-2017) |

"In this level with some of good
atmosphere, Lara has to kill several
guards and make her way all along the
city, pushing buttons, climbing ladders
and moving blocks. In some occasions
you'll find posters that read "Big Brother
is watching you", sometimes they are in
good state, sometimes they are torn. Also
you'll see a little graffiti of the number
1984, like the title. Neither good nor bad
level." - alan (29-Apr-2017) |

"Nothing special in this one. Not surprising considering its
age of course. The gameplay consists of pulling boxes,
pressing buttons (or should I say unpressing) and shooting.
There is some eerie and gloomy city atmosphere which is the
only really good thing in this level. Unfortunately it was
hard on my eyes as I struggled through flickering textures
but I don't know if it was because of my settings or the
game itself. I must confess I did not read 1984 (in my
defense I did read Animal Farm!) so I have no idea if the
game represents the story besides the posters. You can check
it out if you want some history of custom levels but I would
pass." - Nomad (25-Apr-2017) |

"The only real connections to the book are the
title and the posters scattered about stating
"Big Brother is Watching You". Aside from that,
this is a fairly routine raid through a London
setting, shooting out of place Nevada guards
and dogs, pushing boxes and finding a few key
cards. Lighting and texturing seemed patchy, so
atmosphere was compromised. I'm sure that the
concept would have wowed players back in 2000,
but it seems unremarkable nowadays." - Ryan (12-Jul-2016) |

"I found this level a breeze aside from several glitches and
distorted textures as other reviewers have mentioned. I like
Thames Wharf textures but I found the gameplay very uneventful
and too short. The dogs were a nuisance because Lara would
continue to shoot at an already dead dog/guard/MP and not
automatically switch targets meaning I had to put weapons away
and re-arm before taking too much damage. A dog also somehow
managed to get into a crawlspace." - High Priestess (26-Aug-2015) |

"Being among some of the more modern folks who had to struggle with reading through George Orwell's book 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' at one point in my school years(which definitely shows its age nowadays for all you younger players who are curious), I found this level to be an admirable adaptation of the source material that I could recall understanding back then(if only for the mass surveillance, 'Big Brother'-esque atmosphere alone.)
Sure, it may not be perfect in many areas(such as lighting, objects and gameplay variety to name a few), but I still think its a decent attempt regardless(despite the obvious limitations of the TR3 engine.)
As a whole though, I'd only recommend this to players as a sort of historical perspective, in order to see how far the custom level community has come in the past decade or so and not much more beyond that, as this release doesn't necessarily stand the test of time any better than the source material it has taken inspiration from in my opinion. So, best approached with caution." - Ceamonks890 (01-Oct-2014) |

"Quite nice level with some good textures but with buggy pool - one part is still considered as water but it's somehow wall. Gameplay is about killing guards, finding some buttons and some jumps. Has interesting atmosphere." - Casual Raider (11-Jul-2013) |
|
"Linear but challenging gameplay, textures like Thames Wharf,
bit spiced up with "1984"-graffiti or Big Brother-posters.
There are several bugs (I could go through first door without
finding the button). Easy, nothing special." - manarch2 (24-Jul-2010) |

"We are in a city. Author use London textures here. Enemies are baddies, dogs, and guards. But there are many medipacks from the middle of the level, so it can't be problem. Linear level, you can't stuck, just sometimes the button of the doors could be a bit challange. A bit boring level." - Obig (30-May-2010) |

"I struggled with this level a bit more than I would care to admit, and most likely more than it would take for the average gamer to get it over with. In my defense, despite the rather linear flow, the author manages to place some of the crucial buttons rather sneakily, thus having me scratch my head on more than one occasion. The rest of the level doesn't stand out for anything in particular, though. The atmosphere was certainly shifted in the right direction with the posters and the somewhat monotone feel of the city, but more could've been done to convey the feeling of Orwell's dystopia. Other than that - the reappearing enemies and the pickups hidden under movable blocks stand out as an oddity, and a few texture and room connection errors gnaw a little on the level's overall appeal, but nothing too serious in context of the game. Not a bad game, but best played with eyes open." - eTux (06-May-2010) |

"A short London level with posters "Big Brother is watching YOU." Dogs and guards attack with wearisome mechanical regularity. Worse, if Lara retraces steps more guards and dogs appear, so one learns not to revisit former areas. There are problems with texturing in the first area: a whole section of wall can vanish to reveal the sky. In other places, Lara running along a corridor can cause walls to shimmer. In a pool, Lara climbs out onto what seems to be a dark ledge, but must be missing water texture, because suddenly her feet are fastened in glue. Routine play and atmosphere, okay, but nothing to get excited about." - dmdibl (15-Apr-2010) |

"Looking at the title my interest was peeked. Unfortunally the title is more than what you have to go through in this game. It is quite linear and apart from some hidden switches the only thing you have to worry about is the guards. Because when I shot them, some of them disappeared into a wall and I was up the creek without a peddle, so to speak. Two of them carry cards that you need. Don't shoot the prisoner as he has done nothing wrong. I had some strange glitches while playing. It is overal rather bright but bear in mind that this is made way back." - Gerty (05-Dec-2009) |

"Starting to get into the flow of these TR3 based levels now. Geometry and texturing is fairly basic, and author really only stated to experiment with things such as lighting towards the end. Pleanty of climbing to do. The medi-packs were a bit strangely spaced (as are the enemy activations), so make sure your proficient with your guns.
Completed in 35 minites." - TheStig (17-Nov-2009) |

"Only the London City textures, a few Big Brother posters (picture of the author himself?) and 1984 engraved into a wall in one place indicate a linkage to the level title. Other than that you spend about 20-30 minutes in a fairly linear run, pushing many buttons, sometimes well hidden, using two cards, pushing a bunch of boxes and killing countless dogs and guards. Towards the end there are also a few major textures missing. Still a fairly solid little adventure, given its age." - MichaelP (08-Nov-2009) |

"The atmosphere in this city-like setting is kind of depressing somehow, but not bad. Texturing is good too. If I only had known what Lara was doing here and why those guards didn't want to let her out, because this is all you got to do: Leading Lara to the other end of the city to make her leave this place, while collecting some items and pushing some buttons and some blocks on your way." - Jerry (17-Oct-2009) |

"For a really old TR3 level, this strikes me as a cut above most of them. It's easy, linear and short, but it manages to have something of a spirit of adventure as Lara battles her way through the city past a goodly amount of guards and dogs. Apart from the shooting, the gameplay mainly consists of pressing buttons and finding keycards, but some attempt has been made to hide things, there's quite a lot of city to explore and it moves along briskly." - Jay (02-Oct-2009) |

"Francesco was one of the leading builders of 2001 (the first year of 'official' level editing) and produced a stream of well-designed,eminently playable and visually creative levels;until disappearing from the scene after only six months.It was with pleasure,then,that I discovered this neophyte effort of his from way back in November 2000.Creative title.High concept. Strong storyline? No,not really. This is absolutely nothing more than a Corridor Adventure,with guards and dogs to shoot as you run along your linear path.A sneakily hidden switch and a few moveable boxes constitute the gameplay,while the blandness of the surroundings (with the exception of a couple of decent custom textures)does little to spark your interest.I also encountered graphical problems,which I assume were symptoms of the Unnoficial Editor - sky and skin textures were glitchy and,unfortunately,ruined any potential atmosphere;although this wasn't helped by some basic 'missing texture' errors and non-existent lighting.
Ultimately,this is another curio from the days before Custom Levels were officially being built.Playable,but of interest only as a techincal protoype." - Orbit Dream (04-Sep-2009) |
