Dixmor Asylum is a custom zombies map by sevengpluke based off Manhunt 2's Asylum of the same name.

Featuring creepy atmosphere, lots of custom weapons and features, and custom characters, this map is a must for zombie players to try.

Pros

This map, waoh, so much cool stuff to say about it, where to start? From the awesome start to the immersful atmosphere, this maps has many features that keep you playing for quite some time.

The starting of the map is quite unique; it starts with you in the cell and a little girl talking to you, since I don't want to give away too much, I'll let you go from there upon downloading the map.

Many people have said to some degree, the map has some lack of detail. I completely disagree, while it would have been more suitable for the asylum to be broken up possibly, the detail is quite good, the map's design is very good. Layout of the map is also quite well done and feels just like an asylum. +1

This is one of the few cases I get to say weapons were done very, very well, the stats, models and texture maps on the weapons were done to a tee, couldn't have been done better imo.

Last but, most certainly, not least, is the little easter eggs and objectives, from the soul chests to other things, there are many objectives which again keep you at the map.

Cons

There's not much bad about the map, other than I feel there should be some better indication of what to do, while you will get the jist, I feel there should have been some more info on what to do without giving away too much, such as how in Mob of the Dead you understand the final goal is to build and airplane, you know you have to find parts and you get an idea of where they are, but you're not told what to do exactly and what happens once everything is done.

Overall - This map has hit my top 10 maps and has a lot of features and play-ability, I recommend everyone out there give it a go, if I could compare it to a map I would compare it to Mob of the Dead only on a smaller scale in some sense and maybe without the busted-up prison part.

Score:

Level of Detail: 7/10
Custom Content: 9/10
Fun Scale: 8/10
Replay-ability: 8/10

Overall score: 32/40

Nice review. I will have to give this one a go.

Glad you beat me to this one, it's a great review.

Eh, I don't see why two people can't review the same map 

It's actually better that way

Because to me, it'd feel like, for example, if Scobalula had discovered a hidden easter egg in a certain map, and then I come along, and do the exact same thing, it just wouldn't be right of me to do so.
But....
That doesn't mean I won't

It's not the same thing -- having two different opinions on something is better than a single opinion.
