4000 characters is too short for a review of a game. It is (usually) fine for a film review but not for games. Game reviews are much longer as more detail is needed so could you please increase the length allowed.

I know that you probably don't want to sit through reading loads of unnessecarily long reviews but perhaps you could increase it to 5000 characters.

I currently have a Game of Death review done and dusted but it is around about 4700 characters long. Now that is long for a film review but I needed it as their are so many extras. I can't really shorten it down enough without losing a lot of important parts so I have 2 options:

1) Post it in the reviews section in 2 parts which I did once with a Winback review on the N64 but I don't like doing it.
2) Post it in this forum but I don't like doing that either. I've had to do that twice recently as the reviews system would not let me post reviews. (I will post these again in the reviews section, not in an attempt to win but just so I have them posted up there - I don't want all my hard work wasted).

So please, raise the characters allowed length to (at least) 5000. It would be an enormous help as seldom are reviews longer than that.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Impressive control panel
I have to say that I'm impressed with the features available having logged on... Loads of info - excellent.
