I like this idea of faux quake wad reviews to pass the time (even if the newbies don't
understand that they're fake), so here's my contribution!

Wad Name: Danzig7
Author: They never credit, so who knows? Now that Aikman is gone, I dunno who to blame.
Pros: Has some areas of high quality, because they were copied from other wads. Same goes with
      most textures and sounds.
Cons: Their tendency to use plenty of copywritten data shows their disregard in the genre they're
      trying to support and using other people's work to supplement their own (without giving 
      credit or asking permission) really doesn't help Dwango or id (dwango creators/supporters)
      image at all.

Level01: Like all dwango in recent memory, for level one they just took the easy way out and did
	 ANOTHER map01 remake. Using, of course, Raphael Quinet's DM2Quake converter, they once
	 again showed off their ability to ignore anything sacred, desecrating id's perfect
	 map01 (note they used id's textures too, something probably not all that surprising to
	 most). The changes made to the level: Rather than try to tweak the existing areas, the
	 authors simply added some poorly modeled outsides areas and filled the inner area with
	 one way hiding places where keyboarders could camp off wandering players without being
 	 seen (naturally their maps have to cater to keyboarders because, well, they don't notice
	 what's blatantly wrong with them). The one interesting thing they did was allow you to 
	 reach the bfg/rocket/shotgun start via a stairway from the single barrel shotgun outside
	 area. By providing a staircase up there, you're actually able to walk around on top
	 of the level and fall through the one way walls that make up the ceilings (it's quite 
	 interesting to see a rocket explode in mid air in a gusher of guts from somebody who
	 slipped on the roof). 

Level02: Why bother commenting past level 1? Nobody plays past the first level anyway and if 
	 there's any good levels past the first, more than likely you'll be able to find them in 
 	 somebody elses compilation, such as the danzigs.

New Sounds: 
	 Of course! More copyright infringements of course, that is. The usual stock of Beavis
	 and Butthead sounds accompany a serving of Hexen 2: Beyond Short Range Weapons sounds
	 that I'm sure Raven doesn't mind them using without their permission.

New Graphics: 
	 Well, not exactly new. They've ripped off the original DOOM2 textures and digitized
	 some pix from magazines that they wish they looked like..

Deathmatch Mode: 
	 If its good for anything, that'd be it, or maybe if you needed some id stuff but
	 didn't have the DOOM2.wad around..

Cooperative Mode: 
	 I doubt the kind of people that play these wads have heard of anything besides "DM1" or 
	 "DM2".

Conclusion: 
	 Another piece of standard dwango drek. You'd think they'd at least do something original
	 like flip the levels they copy on their x-axis or take advantage of the engine they're
	 using. Oh well, at least I got to hear what Beavis & Butthead sounds like underwater!!
