Here's an extract from the article: The Verdict:
If you’re tired of playing in creative mode all the time or if you just want to test your survival skills, then I’m not stopping you from playing Survival Island. I can promise that from the start, it will greatly challenge your skills. And it can still be fun, especially when playing with friends. It was an amazing map when it first came out a few years back and I will not insult any veteran players who loved this map for its simplicity and entrepreneurship in survival maps. If I were to review it then, it could have got at least 7, but I am reviewing it now and suddenly it doesn’t seem as special. Sure it’s simple and challenging in its own ways, but to spend countless days to play Survival Island just isn’t worth it.
4 (Very bad)
+Tests your survival skills
+Entrepreneur in survival genre
- Monotonous and boring
- Almost impossible to die
- Lacking variety
- Bland presentation
Please don't judge too much. I didn't review it. Video reviews and full articles coming soon. Keep the ideas coming!
What!? It was the first survival island EVER, it started an entire Genre!! It was game changing and before anything major, made in alpha. I completely and utterly disagree with that.
I'd have to agree with Kitta on this one.
A 4.0 on Survival Island is way too low for this map. It was one of the first maps of it's time and it was made back in alpha. Way before even beds were added. It even sparked a new genre of maps. The negative points you point out are because of the lack of features that were in minecraft at the time it was released. Back then Minecraft was extremely different and survival was much more difficult. I'd have to say it should, at the very least, get a 7. In my opinion (I played the map back when it was released) it should probably be given an 8 or 8.5. But this is from a veteran minecrafter and I can see why the newer players would consider it a very boring map.
However I should say that in future, reviews should take in heavy consideration when maps were built and what features were in minecraft at the time. With this in mind, this map would have been given a much higher score. But everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

Now I'm not going to judge this too much, but a suggestion would to be to review it in alpha and leave a point in your verdict to play it in it's original alpha version to get the best experience. At least in that state it will have the same polish and shine it had then instead of it turning into a boring map with the current versions, so you can please the veterans with a good score.

8-bit Adventure got another update (June 17 2014)! Check it out from the picture below!
Alright, let's leave this Survival Island issue as resolved.We let MenacingApple review it and obviously he's done a bad job. We'll take it into consideration but for now, don't take this score as the official verdict, cos it obviously doesn't fix. Daltron and I also disagree with this and we'll look for other failure maps to review. Please don't take it too seriously. We'll have more reviews coming. Currently we're reviewing Linkruler's map. It seems pretty good so far. Article coming out soon. Video coming out later.
Yeah, I'll agree. This argument on Survival Island isn't going anywhere. I'll get rid of it and we can mark it as resolved.Waiting for more suggestions
Hello. I was wondering if you guys are able to do modded maps, if so I would love you guys to review my Lucky Skyblock.
Verson: 1.7.2 Mods: Luckyblocks mod, Pandora's Box Genure: Skyblock, survival Difficulity: Depending on your luck Playtime: Unknown Resourcepack: Choose your own or play with default Reason I want you to review: Because first, this is actually my first map, secound, in the past 3 days its been out there have only been 39 downloads and I want to know if its just because it's only been out for 3 days is why it has such low views and downloads, or if its the map and in the new version it should be way better.
It has few downloads because it has mods. Simple as. Mods = less willing to download = few downloads for map maker. This is unless you're a minecraft celebrity like CaptainSparklez's map.
Oh! That would make so much since. Thank you kitta.
But I would still like my map to be reviewed xD

Hey there DaltronForce,
It would be great if you could review a fairly new map i made. It's singleplayer only and is meant to be played in 14w21b, not anything before nor after. (Hope you understand )
Constructive criticism is very much appreciated!
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope you enjoy playing my map!

Sure we'll still be happy to review your map. Mods shouldn't be too much of an issue. Skyblocks are usually pretty fun. Can't wait to see how this one will turn out!We'll try and review all your maps by the end of the month, but we're currently very busy with maps we already have on our hands. Don't worry, they will eventually come out, just you wait, and video reviews are all the more worth waiting for when they come out.All your maps seem pretty good, can't wait to review them soon!
We can overview it and state some improvements you could make. But something like that is not really encouraged since it may spoil the map especially if we were to review the complete map later and therefore may affect the score. But if you really want us to check out the beta for you then we'll be more than welcome to, just be cautious about whether it will affect the final score if it spoils anything.
hmmm, adventurous players looking for a real challenge?
prepare yourself for a epic adventure. call your friends for to cover your back
click the image on the downloadpage for some screenshots.
i appreciate any feedback on the forum post for the map
custom terrain, custom resourcepack, custom mobs, powerful potions, intense atmosphere.
separate download link for the host and one with only resourcepack for those who want to join your quest.

Thanks again!
I hadn't noticed this before . Thanks for checking out the map! Really excited to see the review. Quick thing I want to throw out is that there was a bug in the current version that had a lever to proceed missing in level 3... I have updated the map with a fix for this, so I am hoping that my review will not dock me points for that...

Alright, that shouldn't be an issue. Don't worry, we won't deduct points for that.We'll try as soon as possible to review all your maps and get the video reviews up. Things are going a bit slow currently with so many maps in our hands. But need not worry. The video review for The Ship, The Orphanage and 8 Bit Adventure will be coming out soon, most probably on 27th June as schedueled.
I'd have to agree with Kitta on this one.
