Well done: after tuning it up, the intended solution does finally justice to the puzzlework. The old Raider wasn't a bad map, just so exploitable that one would end up missing a lot of it.

Technically quite impressive for a first map: the Broken style show detail, lots of animations and destructability - especially the latter I value from the likes of Sp_reconstruct . Bonus points for the added presentation (events, voiceovers).

The puzzles are mostly movement-based: you are looking for the right way out of a trapped chinese box, not as taxing as a single-path challenge but still something experts would like - for its complexity and performance requirements (setting up pieces, for the big maneuver).

FIVE OUT OF FIVE... WHAT ELSE?

Excellent new version of Portal Raider. Thanks for improving it this much because when I first saw the main room in the initial release, I got much impressed and challenged! though too many bugs and exploits, frankly speaking, made me forget about it.

Very much refined and detailed all the elements, signals, fizzlers, laser walls,... the whole room, avoiding any possible unintended solution. [spoiler]It's now more clean (stupid word for a destroyed themed map) the "changing of status" between this shore of the swamp and the opossite one: very polite (I didn't like the previous version big fizzler because it prevented you from watching the room and was uneccessary as you have demonstrated). I like the signals for the "shutdown" button with the X and the square expressing the destruction of the cube if it's pressed.[/spoiler]

Awesome custom voiceovers and great speech totally glados-like!! (where did I hear that voice btw? in another custom map maybe?)

The destroyed style is so politely developed as well. [spoiler]And I love when after each dot accomplishment the chamber suffers a change and detroys even more! And the 2 hidden mini-rooms are simply awesome and very well designed[/spoiler]

Awesome ending with the [spoiler]escaping included! ...countdown, neurotoxins and and the rush music... Very good![/spoiler]

But the greatest of all are the puzzles. This is a very funny and tricky map. Although, when you figure out it is not so hard to perform, and I love that! I will say though, that I still found a couple of bugs: one of them so twisting that made me try 2-3 different ways to the exit door making me crazy! [spoiler]The panels in "L" shape at the end of the room that lead you to the exit door, did not stay all of them switched ON (horizontally), just the 2 of them more closer to the exit part (dot 4); so I wasn't able to reach the exit after a run on orange gel and being rushed out by the blue gel... Anyway, further playthroughs didn't show me that bug again...[/spoiler]

Another bugs I found:

[spoiler]1. The handrail properties near dot 2 are not well defined, you can trespass them... see what I mean:

2. And after being playing (this is not the first time I experience this, so maybe it's related to my system, but I don't think so) I obtained many times a main menu like in below image or similar (maybe because of a vmf file used or something that mixes with original image):

[/spoiler]

I've recorded my playthrough which, after completing the map and watching xdiesp playthrough, I found is slightly different than his:

THANKS FOR MAPPING!! really!

Thanks josepezdj for that awesome review you gave the map, glad you liked it. Fantastic video as well, it is a bit different from Xdiesp, but the intended solution was there, just a little bit different in the execution. The problem with the walkway and the cube can be easily fixed, i just need to place an invisible texture around the rails of the walkway to stop the cube doing what it is doing. As for the problem you have with the menu screen, i have no idea what is causing that.

Unfortunately, this map crashes Portal 2 on a Macintosh (Mac OS X Lion). When the .vpk file is in the addons folder Portal 2 crashes, when it's removed from the folder the application will launch.
