Summary:
It was worth downloading it and I really liked to sit in my seat and just enjoy this very nice movie, I could suggest everyone.

Creativity: 8
The Video tried to imtroduce some very nice and new styles. They were good presented and very solid, but not everyones liking.

Editing: 8
The Editing was quite nice, but there were too less variations (if there was one...). The flow was aborted by the music switches, but the syncing was very nice and the footage did fit very well to the music.

Content: 9
The Tricks were one of the best I have ever seen (and I have seen a lot). Every second you did image what comes next but no matter about what you thought, there was a big wow-effect on every scene...

Quality: 9
The Codec Quality was very nice and clean. Also the Image Quality was very nice but the only thing disturbing me were the blurry recam scenes which disturbed the quality of the video.

Overall: 8
This Video features one of the nicest tricks ever seen and the editing, the music, the syncing and everything was just awesome so this will be one movie I will keep for a long time.

Summary:
the vid is defeneatly worth the download! it's really good, both in quality and content wize

Creativity: 7
well, this is a bit hard to judge always since makin videos really creative isn't easy. also most of the time programs and the game itself make boundaries that can't be crossed.

sadly the video didn't contain anything mindblowing for the eyes. it was well done but not as good as the first art of tricking video.

Editing: 8
the syncing of music and picture was done well enough. again nothing too impressive but still well done.

effects were used a bit. the video had a very sleek and clean look wich is a lot better than abusing some ugly effects. nicely done.

the camera angles were god most of the time, but sometimes it was hard to follow and understand what was being done. maybe use more slow-mo? this can't be called a big minus on the video since quake 3 is a very fast paced game.

no ingame sound?! that's a minus, i just love ingame sound. makes the video feel more alive.

Content: 9
aaahh! the content! the tricks were all very well done, nicely timed combos. some very creative stuff in there. the use of levels and combination of weapons was impressive! grade a stuff!

since the video isn't very long, the content didn't get boring. watching 3x rox 20 min in a row isn't very interesting. so the demos were nicely selected

Quality: 8
a nice clean cfg was used that brought out the beauty of quake 3. good compression and quality. wasn't the best i've seen but still in the top 5 overall. no complaints what so ever!

Overall: 8
this video is a keeper indeed! music was nicely selected, differs from the usual selection a bit. nicely done camera work and the content is defeneatly one of the best out there!

so overall the video is a true additon to a gaming video fan indeed!

if you liked this video, then i hope you've seen the first part aswell. i personally liked the first part more!

Summary:
Very sweet tricking vid, with nice quality, editing and effects... Must download for everyone (and hellbender :P)

Creativity: 8
The effects used were pretty original, allthough i think the music has been used quite a bit

Editing: 8
Nothing REALLY special here, there were a lot of nice effects / cams, but nothing was really really REALLY synched, the music was pretty cool, it gave a nice atmhosphere, with some more synch to it, this would've been a 10


Content: 9
Content si teh wow! iT style tricking, by iT members == ! :) Lots of tricks made me go OMGWTF, enjoyed them verry much :)

Quality: 10
Gotta be the best quality seen in trick vids ever... Imo it's better then iT2's quality(!)

Overall: 9

Summary:
Very nice tricking vid, good editing, omfg tricks. But they all look the same, too many tricks look similar (even if they aren't and are great): too much dm17 variation.

Creativity: 6
The tricks are inventive... in the begining, but after a few minutes you have the impression to watch the same tricks again and again. And it is a tricking vid. And editing was not very creative neither imo.

Editing: 7
Simple, but nice. Just a little effects, that serve the video perfectly imo, maybe a little more, but was ok. Some original recams, that most of the time allow you to see correctly action (even if sometimes it is a little more difficult). Good flow of the video.
Just a problem with the music used in the intro and in the outro: nice but already used in many other movies (and using twice the same song, even if it is a remix, is not a good idea imo).
And blur was too heavy most of the time when you used it.
And we can't see anything in the outro, except the text of course.

Content: 7
Most of the tricks are really omfg! Seem really difficult to do. But imo they all look the same, basicly I have the impression that more than half of the tricks were multi rockets on dm17 remixed maps (Iwould add on the skull but I am not sure I would be over the 50% with that). They are very creative compared to other videos, but together...
Would have been 10 with more variety...

Quality: 7
Good quality, the quality/filesize ratio is a little too high (22megs/min) but ok.

Overall: 7
Great vid, with great tricks, nice editing, but most of the tricks are too similar, that wastes a little the movie imo.
