It's purely because it was inventive with its visuals (and consider the vanilla .exe, the tools and resources available, and the knowledge base at the time), the gameplay really is pretty trash. Quoting the OneManDoom review:
>Earth is one of those vanilla Doom II mapsets that remains a technical marvel for its creative use of animated textures. One of the first things you’ll see is the shoreline, with waves crashing against the rocks, splashing over the rugged edges. It’s a prominent motif and perhaps the single best feature the WAD has to offer.
I think that really says it all.

Better stuff from 1998 includes:
>Cyberdreams
>Mars War
>The Darkening
>run buddy
>Twilight Warrior
