I bought it when it came out, looked it over and said Meh. Expensive graph paper sums up my feelings very well. The product is rife with hints, glimmers, tales of Greenwoods own campaign, and yet the product itself does not conjure up any of that majesty.
Instead it is a hallway or room with a clever trap, followed by empty rooms of fill in the blank.
Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventure (which is basically 3 levels of Castle Greyhawk, now known in Dungeon as Castle Maure), and Monte Cook's the Banewarrens do it better than Undermountain ever did. Mord's Fant Adv and Banewarrens both bring a style, a flavor, and a guarantee of memorable encounters and memories that will linger with players and DM's that play the products.
There are no guaranteed memories in Undermountain. The Hype is greater than the product.
