This mission builds onto everyone's favourite OM, Life of the Party in ways that don't feel intrusive, most noticeable of which is that you can go onto the street level and it's fully detailed. Routing for some familiar places have been changed, but the highlight of this mission is its scripting. I don't want to go into examples and spoil the surprise, but the world is reactive to you in a way few missions are; the scripting here would be impressive by today's standards, never mind 2003's!
The thing that might stick in people's craw, though is the main focus of this level, which is infiltrating a mage's sect underneath the city streets. The AI here have an insanely high perception, and it feels like no mistake that this also happens to be the most densely populated part of the entire level. There are ways to deal with this, but ghosting isn't one of them. The challenge might be too much, or just feel too inorganic to some, but even discounting this section, there is a lot to love. Just a shame we didn't see more from this author.
