Hey whatever floats your boat. I'll say maps in Marathon 2 and Infinity were huge, pretty, and strained the mind a bit. Greg K had Buddha level patience with Vulcan, that much is apparent. When the levels are huge, the automap is useless, and the objective vague... well thank god for carnage.

I don't find the writing pretentious; it's full to bursting with reference to a host of good literature, and though sometimes poetic it doesn't waste time.

The dream levels are probably a deal breaker for some people. They're a sweet idea that wasn't supported by the technology of the time. :)
