I tend to read the faction missions of a scenario first. The missions sounded nice, but ultimately, after reading the summary, all went down to fetch the gizmo.

And every faction has two generic fetch-the-gizmo-crap/ slay x missions with the associated awards. Great.

The nature of the BBEG is not foreshadowed, but constantly beaten over the heads of the PCs. It took my players not even a minute to accurately guess the nature of the antagonist.

The first encounter proved to be mildly annoying for my PCs.

The subsequent encounters screamed lightning bolt/fireball formation and, quite frankly make this scenario a classic kill everything with fire experience. That might be fun sometimes, but there is NOTHING to intrigue a Player or DM. No puzzle, no RP, this scenario is about mindlessly slaughtering everything.

The adventure does not consist of plot-holes, like "The Trouble with Secrets", but is, quite frankly, monotonous.
The final boss, however, is damn cool, lethal and a fun and challenging fight after all the drudgery and the only saving grace of this adventure.
If your players don't feature enough ranged firepower, your PCs will die here. A lot of them.
I'd give this adventure 1.5 Stars with tendency towards 2.

Okay this is another horrible scenario, I mean hell this thing was worse than Asmodeus Mirage in the sense of the encounters...and that means its really, really bad. I personally believe that creatures that cause effects that are pretty much irreversible is too powerful in any game. You going to have to provide some countermeasure, otherwise it will lead to a TPK which our game pretty much lead too. I will never purchase and/or run this scenario...I like to make the player's "sweat" but killing all of them...no I don't want that on my hands.

I enjoyed this scenario as both a player and a GM. It doesn't provide a lot of room for roleplay or problem solving, both of which can add nice variation within a dungeon crawl, but the scenario succeeds at what it sets out to do. I enjoyed some of the tactical situations the scenario presented, including a battle in a maze and one in a forest of statues. The scenario includes one encounter which I believe was incredibly overpowered, a relic of the imbalance in the 3.5 CR system, but my group managed to avoid a certain TPK by roleplaying the encounter, thanks to a generous GM. All in all, this is an average scenario with room for improvement, but it's far from the worst of the scenarios thus far.

I could just copypaste the review I gave for Trouble With Secrets. This is practically the same; a nonexistant plot, boring combats, and absolutely no roleplaying moments.

If you like mindless dungeon crawls, this is for you.

My first complaint is the foreshadowing. Holy cow it is beating you over the head by the time you are a quarter of the way through. Second complaint is all encounters start the same way no matter how many precautions are taken. Maybe I'm just sore because we chose not to finish it, but the ending seemed a forgone conclusion. Don't go without a well balance group well inside the level tiers (in fact play DOWN). Some of the faction goals are impossible without very powerful resources.
