Springfield

deciding it was too big a job for me to do to a decent standard. That unfortunately, also seems to be the problem this author has had; whilst some areas, like Moe's tavern and the Quik-E-Mart bear huge resemblance to the series, you can tell much less effort has been put into some of the other areas, almost as if they were quickly slapped on afterward, most noticeably the grassy outdoor area and the church, which was much too small. However much as I feel I should criticise the textures used, I'm going to hold my tongue here on the basis that it's [b]supposed[/b] to look like this, cartoony. It's not perfect, and some textures still look sloppy, even by cartoon standards, and these shortcomings are amplified tenfold by the lighting setup. I don't know whether a giant ambient light was added, but it sure looks like it - I didn't see shadows anywhere, or any brighter or darker spots. Come on, even in cartoons there is lighting! Oh yes, I almost forgot. The music is not a particularly good choice to go with someone playing a game - okay for the introduction on the TV show, but the conversion of songs in the background track are just very off putting. Despite my intense dislike of the skybox used, due to it's over-exaggerated scale compared to the rest of the level (You need more sky, less building height.) I did like the overall feel of the map - it does [b]look[/b] like Springfield. Except for the giant drop-offs at the edges of the level, those are ugly. And the 'park' section's pretty bad as well, save for the statue, which is actually quite well modelled if it was done in radiant! In conclusion, this will definitely be a hit with any Simpsons fans, and for others if you can look past some of the shabbier sections and slightly low framerate :) Oh yeah, there's bot support as well, for which I must give a big :thumbsup: to the author!

"Who doesn't love the Simpsons?" Well, I can't say I don't, and I have always thought the idea of making Springfield was a fantastic one - I even contemplated making it myself a while back, before
