These maps aren't going to win any cartography awards, but they're adequate for those DM's in a hurry for a quick encounter. Good for random muggings and the like, anyway.
Paizo has raised the bar quite a bit since this set, so I'd check out their more recent urban offerings.
This is a great set of map tiles. I only recently gave the map pack tiles a try, and wow, I love them!
As is, these tiles would be a pain to use during play. They would not stay in place, and they are a little flimsy. However, once they are mounted onto some black foam-core board with a little glue stick... they really shine.
This pack has several great locations. My favorites are the Magic Store (which could double as many other kinds of stores), the Blacksmith Shop, and the Ambush Alley.
There are a few that I'm not too impressed by: Wizards Guild Basement, and Wizards Guild. The later is a strange "plus-sign" shaped building that I cannot imagine what it would look like from the outside, or why anyone would build such a thing. Also this location's tiles have what must have been a printing error that causes them to be overlapped by one inch in order to match up. Not a big deal, but slightly annoying.
Great product overall. 5 Stars, minus 1/2 star for overlap issue, and minus 1/2 star for odd " + " shaped Wizard Guild = 4 Stars.
Though I found this pack useful, I think it's name needs to be made smaller in context. There is definitely a need for a Map Pack: City II, Map Pack City III, etc. I would hate to think this is all that one could find in a city.
