"Granted there are some really great passages and many of the individual panels work on there own, but as a cohesive unit this level stinks."

Well, we'd have to agree to disagree then. I'm not saying every level should be like this, merely that I enjoyed the colors and the chaos- sometimes I think a "maze" claustrophobic composition is good. Plus, the fact that you can hardly breath means that the level has had an effect on you ergo it has succeeded as a composition.

Levels that don't work as a cohesive unit, generally make me say "meh" and I sit around waiting for the next one.

But, in any case, I'd rather be arguing about color and composition than bitching about shitstains and CNN screengrabs.
