Deep Night Survival
Map: Deep Night Survival
By:dinomendino
Entertainment: 5/10
I had no idea what I could do at first because there was no stone and no ore that I could find and so many stupid mistakes so I gave up
Originality: 5/10
not the first "hardcore" survival challenge maps

Mistakes: 5-8/10
there where a lot of random blocks , like in spawn there was 1 random sponge... don't know if that was intentional or not. I also spawned in creative. also I don't know how to get stone to get iron because the ground is completely netherrack and dirt.
over all: 6-7/10
just seamed sloppy, good idea, maybe expand, fix things, and PLEASE make the ground normal.

really cool! the citys a decent sized that fun to explore, and its really cool!
Originality:8/10
Lots of hand built citys, not an original idea, but the buildings them selfs (except for a few based off of others) are orginal
Mechanics:?/10

Ease of Install: 9/10

Mistakes: 9.5/10
the insides where not decorated but I didn't take much off because with the amount and size of the buildings they have already made you can't expect them to do everything, but I think it would be cool if at some point they would go back ant start doing interiors
over all:9/10
A good map, really big for being made by hand, and really good looking.

I've been thinking...
I've been thinking that I should extend the reviews to mods, texture packs, and servers as well as maps...
might try to do that.
might also do some vids through my youtube.
I also think this might become weekly instead of daily,
I will still try for daily i think but i will make sure to make at least one post a week

None that I can tell other then it stops about half way though closing for like 30 seconds and then starts up again, but its such a big door and so much red stone i bet its because of repeater delay or somthing so i didn't take much off

the map was Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo big. I had a really fun time exploring it.
Originality: 7/10
I've seen this type of island with a shack type of thing before, and the trees I've defiantly seen similar before, but the cabin was out of the box, and so was the snow caped mountain.

Mechanics: N/A
I don't know how to judge the relevance of mechanics on a map like this, guess its got upside down stairs and half slabs
Ease of Install: 9/10
drag n drop
Mistakes: 8/10
some of the leaves had decayed and despawned by the look of it. and the cabin roof was outrageous. It must have looked good with the texture pack, but bright pink and lime green... just no. I wish they would say what pack they used, and if it was custom, release it with the map.
Over all: 9/10 Its a nice map, and would be perfect for a survival world...

Hello,
This is the first map!
Map: Temple of Notch (http://www.ocddisco.com/2011/09/minecraft-the-temple-of-notch/)
By: FvDisco
Entertainment: 8/10
The map was funny, and fun. I probably ran trough it 5 times and I cracked up a little each time. defiantly entertaining.
Originality:10/10
Mechanics:8/10
been updated to keep working, but not much else, but the red stone is amazing though and defiantly used a lot of the mechanics at the time.
Ease of Install: 9/10
drag and drop in the saves folder, only thing to make it easier would be an auto installer.
Mistakes: 7/10
could see some wiring, and access points in to the internals. is possible to not fall to death when pit trap is active, also have glitched out the door so I got stuck once.

Hello,
This is my first post, and I thought I would start by saying how I plan to judge/rate these maps
I will judge these categories on the following standards. Entertainment, Does it do what it was purposed for, if it was a speed build, or model, Does it look good? If its an adventure map, was it fun? Was it too hard or too easy? Originality, does it look like another build I have seen, or is it the first of its kind? Is the plot of an adventure map the same as another I’ve seen? Mechanics, are the mechanics up to date? If the maps been around for a while, has it broken, or has it been updated? ease of install, does it just install with one file? does it require additional mods or texture packs, and if they do do they work? does it have an auto installer, and if so is it easy to use? Mistakes, are there any noticeable spelling mistakes, are there any glitches or loopholes that make it impossible to succeed, or give you unfair advantages? are there any problems with any of the previous categories, are there any bugs that make the map impossible to complete?

On top of this, I will give it an overall grade (1-10) based on how I liked it, and how it performed on the categories.
