Bitter people. :o)
If you don't win, STFU and try again.
Point taken yes?
(This was to the guy winging about not winning because of a BB gun review)
We've all been there, but we don't need anymore of it.

*has a heart attack*
"the graphics in this game are especially good and it is what you would call "great"
rubbish.
Well, I won for a 6/10. That's pretty bad.
I'll give you some pointers with reviews ok, so I expect a big thank you.
First of all, there is a 3,000 character word limit, SR dont put that there for a laugh, they put it there to be filled. Writing 1,000 characters is nothing, 3,000 allows for a good description of a game.
Your review was as follows:
"I recently played a demo of this game. At first I found it very confusing and different but then i started to play more and started to understand what I was doing and I started to enjoy playing the game. "
This shows you dont have the full game and cant review it propperly, and saying it is confusing and hard are going to put people off buying it, that isnt much of a reason to give you a £50 game. You followed with,
"The game is a turn-based RPG/strategy. The game itslef revolves around 2 characters which at the start of the game you have to decide who you wish to play the first part of the game as either Ursula or Valens. You then fight battles in a turn-based mode where you decide where your characters move in connection with the amount of spaces they can move per go."
This is a good little rundown of the game as should be at the start of your review, you could go into detail about the characters a bit more.
"Then when you are close enough to the enemy you can attack and a small bar appears at the bottom of the screen and you have to press the X button at the right moment to do the most amount of damage although this seems quite repetitive and it is during the game you learn different techniques and skills that you can use in the battles which adds more variation."
You sound like an instruction manual, you make the game sound very limited and small. Expand.
"The battles are set out in a to tournaments"
That makes no sense,
"and you have to fight all the battles in one tournament to progress to the next this is more or less the game but with variations in every battle"
You make the game sound smaller than kate moss's waistline
"techniques you can learn and the fact that it is a good strategy/turn-based RPG"
Yes, you've said!
"maked Gladius a game for fans of this style of game and fans of Dynasty Tactics"
*make. Not a bad summary.
You can see you need to add much more filler into the review to make it worth reading. If you type your review on Word you can do a word count and see how many characters you have used up, try and aim for a bit under 3,000, about 600 words.
Have a read of some reviews by Totoro, Aliboy, Rickoss and Dark Mark to see how to write reviews well. Don't take me as being patronising here, I'm trying to give you the help I got when I first arrived, many years ago.
