I know this has probably been covered many times, but why do the reviews limit you to 4000 characters? can it be more please?

If not, would it be possible to post links to reviews I have written? And still be eligable for a GAD? any comments would be great thanxs

(P.S, you cannot review a game in enough detail with 4000 characters can you?)

I remember the old days, when reviews would last forever and the sun always shone in the fields. It was all fields round here you know...

Well you see, they wrote reviews, yeah? That were under 4000 characters, still with me? And then SR awarded some of the reviewers with free games!

In my book ("Managing" by the Tarrant, priced £9.99 at most decent bookshops) that's managing.

Sorry, its just his post didnt really explain what question he was answering. still www.vgchimp.co.uk/reviews14.html , take that review i wrote for example, it explains the game a whole lot more than the 4000 characters, if it was 4000 words thatd be better, but characters, its almost like writing a text message.

It's surprising how much you can fit into 4000 characters. If you remember to not go into too much detail you can probably cover everything you want to say. I just wrote an 11 paragraph review that was just under 4000 characters, it could have benefitted from a few more words maybe, but it's OK. I think they've made it that short for GAD purposes.

Wonderful...
