Wow, it's been a couple years friends. Some of you may or may not remember me but I had a pretty popular map review page going on these forums. I had to stop since my outdated computer could no longer run Minecraft. Well I am happy to say that I have a new gaming PC and I can play Minecraft again (Yaaaaaaayyy)! I am super excited to get back into playing again.
Since I have this new PC I may play the maps you send me on video or a live stream.
Map Name: The Graveyard
Mapmaker(s): McTsts & VaterX2
Map Genre: Arena (Adventure)
Link to Map Thread: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/maps/2364866-the-graveyard-survive-the-night
Duration: 1-2h
Info: The Graveyard is a mostly arena based map with a few adventure, Parkour and Puzzle elements. After surviving the night, which takes 20 waves, you can also do several quests. The map has several classes and also Bonus Levels. Of course this map also has multiple bossfights.
Info: Ghast Ball is a small minigame. Once you start the minigame you are in some kind of arena that has two sides, one is yours, the other the Ghast's, you can't enter the Ghat's side. After starting the Ghast will shoot one fireball, you have to reflect that fireball back to the ghast, the ghast should reflect it back to you. If you fail you get a point, if the ghast fails it gets one point. That means points are bad. After giving out the point the ghast shoots a new fireball and the game continues.
Info: Zombie Tag is a small minigame. Once you start it several zombies spawn. One of them tries to catch you or another zombie. If he catches a zombie the same thing happens again, if he catches you, you have to catch a zombie. If the zombies don't manage to catch you for a specific time only you will be targeted. If you are caught you can catch zombies by throwing the snowball, which will appear in your hotbar when you're near a zombie. But don't Forget that the Zombies run away from you. Particles and a sidebar scoreboard give you Information.
Info: Zombie Spleef is a small minigame. Once you start you appear in a 'Ghost Arena', that means that you can't see the whole floor. You can only see the blocks you are standing on. You can only break the blocks that you can actually see, this makes it a lot harder to fight the zombie, who is your opponent. The zombie is a lot more intelligent than a normal zombie. It will follow you and break blocks. If the zombie is in danger he will perform a jump. This means the zombie can play spleef pretty well, but you should normally still be better. If the block below you gets removed you lose, if the block below the zombie is removed you win. After finishing a game your health and the arena will be restored, you will get extinguished, and new zombie will be spawned and once he targets you the minigame will restart.
Info: Unknown Future is a cool RPG/Adventure map. After crashing on a foreign planet the citizen on the so called 'good' side ask you to help them defeat the evil. After completing a few quests on the 'good' side of the planet you go to the 'evil' side for the final battle (after more quests), but don't forget to do a few sidequests first, they can be helpful. Hidden everywhere are chests. The interesting story is told with a dialogue thing and muliple cutscenes. I've been told that the royalty music used is pretty cool. This map does not only have multiple bossbattles, but also a few other battle parts. Jump'n'Run can be easily avoided. Custom texures/models & sounds improve your gameplay.
Info: Minecraft Warriors is a completly new minigame. sadly it's really laggy and hard to understand. Basically you are the leader of a army. You start in you army's Headquarter and try to capture different bases, if you capture one , a general, a extra powerful zombie, spawns. Bases (HQ also counts as a base) always spawn new zombies. If you enter the Enemie HQ with enough zombies you capture it and win. There a alot of different zombie troops (and even more unused ones), e.g. Warrior, Archer, Defender, Supporter or Bomber. Sometimes random events happen, e.g. ill Rabbits, A Powerful Iron golem or Rain.
Duration: 3 Minutes if you are extremly good and manage everything in first try
Info: Jump'n Nether is a small speed-Jump'n Run map, which takes place in the nether near a nether fortress and the Nether castle. You start in a cool looby and then make your way to the castle. On your way to the castle you find several blocks with different abilties; gravity, restoration, blindness, speed, jump boost and spawn-setting. Included in the map is a timer.

Map Name: R3DSTONECRAFTER Bossfight
Map Maker(s): McTsts (Schraggi helped with building)
Info: R3dstoneCrafter Bossfight is a Puzzle map... Actually it's a Boss map... The Bossfight is avaiable in two languages (German & English). The language can be selected in the map itself. The bossfight itself is a interesting two stage fight. The boss has a lot of different attacks. The map was built in one day for a joke 'Challenge' by R3dstoneCrafter.
Info: 25³ Harry Potter is a 25³ map with Adventure elements. It is a demo for EnderPig's Harry Potter map. This demo includes a Diagon alley with Flourish & Blotts, Madam Malkins and Ollivanders. After getting your wand from Ollivanders and your spell book from Flourish and Blotts, Death Eaters attack from knockturn alley. You escape from Ollivanders & Diagon Alley by using Lumos, Protego, Alohomora, Accio & Wingardium Leviosa. But be warned the Death Eaters attack with dangerous spells like Incedio or Nox. Included in the map is also a small side quest.
Info: 25³ Thunderstorm is a 25³ map with Adventure/Arena elements. It is my first 25³ map and actually not that good (because it's so short), it features a cutscene, a boss battle, a few fights and an interresting Story.
Info: 25³ Buttons is a 25³ map with 25 Puzzles. It is a cool puzzle map that uses tricks and small puzzles (nothing to complicated). You make your way through three dimensions and you can even find a small bonus Level.
-----------------
Map Name: The Mysterious Well
Map Maker(s): Created by McTsts with buildings by McTsts, Florxx, Schraggi, VaterX2, Rischa001
Map Genre: aCTM (That basically means, thats its a normal adventure map where you have to find 16 wools blocks)
Info:The Mysterious Well is a aCTM map, that means it's mostly a adventure map where you have to find 16 wool blocks. Infected by a always deadly ending disease you have to find 16 wool blocks to activate an ancient monument, which, as legend tells, can cure any disease. After stealing the first wool blocks with help from the Scientist and the blacksmith, you get caught by the police. After being brought to court, you get convicted to death. Being insulted by everyone - "I hate you", "Murderer", ... - you get thrown into the city's well, so that you drown. To find out what happens after that you have to play the map.
Info:Custom Boss Collection is a one of it's kind Boss Collection map. It features tons of different bossfights. It uses Custom textures, 3d models and even Voice acting. Some bosses have royalty free music instead of voice acting. This map not only has most of my bosses from other maps, but also tons of new ones, partly created for Minecraft Forum users. Not only has this map tons of options, because of the bosses, but it also has tons of different Equipment options, choose one item, each, from different categories, e.g. bows, shields, weapons, ..., or use a special 'Boss'-Armor that gives you a special abilitie using your mana. All bosses have muliple attacks, some have even more than one stage/phase. The map has tons of different arenas created by multiple builders (Tyler6K, EnderPig, HyperDragonX7 & McTsts). With all those options you can play this map for hours, but be warned sometimes bosses randomly break. But not only does this map have bossfights but also different challenges against custom mobs (e.g. Knights, Ghosts, ...)
Duration: 30 minutes for each map (there are two plains & nether)
Info: McTsts' Tower Defense is a one of it's kind Tower Defense map. It has multiple waves, seven placeable towers (including Ender, Support, Witch and Sheep Tower), Upgrades for six of the towers (There is no max level) and several traps. The health of the enemies (including zombies, skeletons and more) is displayed with their helmet color (extremedark red,dark red, red, dark orange, orange, ..., slightly dark green, dark green and finally blue). The towers have to different ways of attacking, first: Aura, which hits all enemies in a specific range and second: Beam, which only hits one enemie. The map currently has two arena with different difficulties (Nether & Plain). While Plain is a peaceful (until the enemies come...) area, Nether is inside a Nether castle thingy and even has a evil regeneration tower that can't be removed.
Info: Blaze Spleef is a small minigame. Once you start it you'll appear, together with a blaze, that can't change it's height, in a arena, which's floor is tnt. A fireball, from the blaze, will ignite the tnt under it, thus removing the floor. If you kill the blaze you win, if you fall into the lava, below the tnt you lose. Whilst fighting, the floor of the arena slowly regenerates. As soon as the game ends you get extinguished and healed. The arena gets restored, and a new blaze spawns, then the minigame restarts.
Info: 25³ (Custom) Boss Collection is a small version of Custom Boss Collection. Because it was created in 25x25x25 blocks it lacks several features of CBC, but it also works better than CBC, because it wasn't made in a older version of Minecraft and then updated. 25³CBC includes a nice and better Equipment system that has less options than CBC and lacks the 'Boss'-Equipment. 25³CBC has 7 bossfights, including the ported Demon Warrior (from 25³ Thunderstorm), two bosses from CBC (Mushroom Boss & Quad, two of the first bosses) and a easier version of Emotionless (CBC). As CBC, 25³CBC also has a Custom Mob Challenge, where you have to fight against a few Player-Zombies. Altough the room the map was built in was small, it still has eight different Arenas.
I remember you (about a year ago I commented on your old map reviews post, for you to review my old Indiana Jones adventure map)! Glad to see you're back! It's funny because I've been off minecraft for a while because of a busy school year, but now I recently had some free time, and I finished an adventure map a friend and I were sporadically working on for almost two years. I'd love it if you could review it. So (if you want to review it) you can check out my map here:

Map: Mysterious Well
Thoughts: Very fun little map with lots of fun challenges. The cut scenes were really cool I haven't played a map with them in it before. This map should only take around 40ish minutes but it is a very fun 40 minutes.
Originality: 9/10 - Even though I have played maps similar to this the cut scenes and challenges were very fun and sometimes a bit challenging which is great.
Story: 6/10 - The story is fine for little maps like this but a lot of things seemed a bit rushed and there could have been a bit more explaining or parts to the story to make it seem more engaging. This kind of story has been done before and the only really unique part of it was the cut scenes.
Builds/Creations: 7/10 - A lot of parts of this map seemed pretty nice. The town was for the most part nice to look at with lots of places to go. Though it does feel a bit empty with the lack of senery (ex: trees, flowers), also most of the time I can see over the walls of the map which kind of took you out of the experience for a second. Also the first cave was pretty empty to look at too since there was nothing but common stone to look at with maybe a little bit of lava here and there.
Overall Enjoyment: 7.5/10 - This map has a lot of things going for it, it is short and fun, fast paced, and some cool ideas. Though falls a bit short with the story and some scenery. In some areas there is little sense of direction and you find yourself just wandering around getting a bit frustrated on where to go. Overall this map was pretty good, I would recommend.

Story: 6/10 - The story is fine for little maps like this but a lot of things seemed a bit rushed and there could have been a bit more explaining or parts to the story to make it seem more engaging. This kind of story has been done before and the only really unique part of it was the cut scenes.
Builds/Creations: 7/10 - A lot of parts of this map seemed pretty nice. The town was for the most part nice to look at with lots of places to go. Though it does feel a bit empty with the lack of senery (ex: trees, flowers), also most of the time I can see over the walls of the map which kind of took you out of the experience for a second. Also the first cave was pretty empty to look at too since there was nothing but common stone to look at with maybe a little bit of lava here and there.
Overall Enjoyment: 7.5/10 - This map has a lot of things going for it, it is short and fun, fast paced, and some cool ideas. Though falls a bit short with the story and some scenery. In some areas there is little sense of direction and you find yourself just wandering around getting a bit frustrated on where to go. Overall this map was pretty good, I would recommend.
Wow, it's been a couple years friends. Some of you may or may not remember me but I had a pretty popular map review page going on these forums. I had to stop since my outdated computer could no longer run Minecraft. Well I am happy to say that I have a new gaming PC and I can play Minecraft again (Yaaaaaaayyy)! I am super excited to get back into playing again.
Since I have this new PC I may play the maps you send me on video or a live stream.

Anyways, in the comments below send me a link to the forum page your map is displayed on and I will give it a play and a review.

Info: Ghast Ball is a small minigame. Once you start the minigame you are in some kind of arena that has two sides, one is yours, the other the Ghast's, you can't enter the Ghat's side. After starting the Ghast will shoot one fireball, you have to reflect that fireball back to the ghast, the ghast should reflect it back to you. If you fail you get a point, if the ghast fails it gets one point. That means points are bad. After giving out the point the ghast shoots a new fireball and the game continues.

Once you start it several zombies spawn. One of them tries to catch you or another zombie. If he catches a zombie the same thing happens again, if he catches you, you have to catch a zombie. If the zombies don't manage to catch you for a specific time only you will be targeted. If you are caught you can catch zombies by throwing the snowball, which will appear in your hotbar when you're near a zombie. But don't Forget that the Zombies run away from you.

Map Name: Zombie Spleef
Map Maker(s): McTsts
Map Genre: Minigame/Spleef
Link: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/maps/2488527-zombie-spleef-play-spleef-with-a-zombie-bot
Duration: 1+ minutes
Info: Zombie Spleef is a small minigame. Once you start you appear in a 'Ghost Arena', that means that you can't see the whole floor. You can only see the blocks you are standing on. You can only break the blocks that you can actually see, this makes it a lot harder to fight the zombie, who is your opponent. The zombie is a lot more intelligent than a normal zombie. It will follow you and break blocks. If the zombie is in danger he will perform a jump. This means the zombie can play spleef pretty well, but you should normally still be better. If the block below you gets removed you lose, if the block below the zombie is removed you win. After finishing a game your health and the arena will be restored, you will get extinguished, and new zombie will be spawned and once he targets you the minigame will restart.

Map Name: Unknown Future
Map Maker(s): McTsts & Sjondk
Map Genre: Adventure / RPG
Link: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/maps/2477998-minecraft-unknown-future-quests-bossfights
Duration: 1-2h
Info: Unknown Future is a cool RPG/Adventure map. After crashing on a foreign planet the citizen on the so called 'good' side ask you to help them defeat the evil. After completing a few quests on the 'good' side of the planet you go to the 'evil' side for the final battle (after more quests), but don't forget to do a few sidequests first, they can be helpful. Hidden everywhere are chests. The interesting story is told with a dialogue thing and muliple cutscenes. I've been told that the royalty music used is pretty cool. This map does not only have multiple bossbattles, but also a few other battle parts. Jump'n'Run can be easily avoided. Custom texures/models & sounds improve your gameplay.

I remember you (about a year ago I commented on your old map reviews post, for you to review my old Indiana Jones adventure map)! Glad to see you're back! It's funny because I've been off minecraft for a while because of a busy school year, but now I recently had some free time, and I finished an adventure map a friend and I were sporadically working on for almost two years. I'd love it if you could review it. So (if you want to review it) you can check out my map here:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/maps/2577447-assassins-creed-reclaiming-a-kingdom
By the way, just to give you a heads up, this map is pretty long (if one also plays the side-quests, and bonus stuff in the map).
Well I don't think I would be able to play all of those but I am willing to play a couple any ones you really want me to try?
Ayy yeah I remember you, I will defiantly try it out tomorrow after I finish work
welp... http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/maps/2579027-insanely-hard-smelting-winter-an-ultra-hard-mini. thats my reacent map, a Mini-CTM, hope you check it out.
Looks cool, I haven't played many CTMs before so this should be fun x)

Sorry friends I have been very busy due to the holidays, I will get back to the reviewing soon
Hey, just a heads up... if you haven't started playing the assassin's creed map yet, I would recommend downloading the latest version! Because the earlier versions had some errors in. The latest version (v1.3) is on the thread (http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/maps/2577447-assassins-creed-reclaiming-a-kingdom).
