Sorry, but this site is basically useless imo...

The front page hasn't been updated in nearly two months...and that update was just to apologize for not updating. So what's the point of the site? Not trying to be harsh, but a review site is only as good as how often it posts (insert drumroll) REVIEWS. :\

    Just stumbled on this post while going through old email notifications :) Sorry I missed it.

    This is not a review site. Mapraider is a site for aggregating maps and their related data. There are plenty of review sites out there, and many do a great job.

    Mapraider was created for a number of reasons, but some of the most primary ones were because:
    • Maps for different game systems were scattered all over the net
    • Very few map sites had screenshots of every map which forced you to avoid maps or risk downloading crap
    • Download links were unreliable
    • Finding/getting the latest version of a map was always a pain
    • Related links to each map (other reviews, awards, etc) were buried and scattered

    Yes, members can rate maps, but there are no dedicated "reviewers" who write reviews of the maps. If anyone wants to write a review though, they certainly can in the comments for each map :D

    (For what it's worth, Mapraider did have a way for users to post traditional reviews in the past, but the number of poorly written, crap reviews that had to be deleted or edited made it more trouble than it was worth and that feature was retired).
