For a 9 or a 10, I'd have to have more history about the game. As it stands, it's a very solid, very good review.

9 out of 10 here. Good coverage, but this is one review that NEEDS screenshots, especially with all the comparisons to other versions.

Informative, but again, what's with the spelling errors? Relying on spellcheck is not going to prevent you from using "loose" when you mean "lose."I don't care for this reviewer's penchant for the little outline at the end. A little dry overall for my taste. Were the themes of the bars maintained as in the arcade? I'd like to know...
7/10.

The review was nice, but there are a few things that put me off.
First, another review that neglected to rate each attribute numerically.
Give me a value out of five, this is pretty standard fare for review, and was missed here.
Second, a nice write-up at the beginning, but not much to chew on under each category.
The gameplay category had 1 sentence.
Overall, the review isn't half bad, a little reformatting, and a few screenshots, and we'd have a very solid review.
7/10

Not bad at all, really. Not quite outstanding, but hardly flawed.
8/10

8/10.
Adequately described the game, going into detail when necessary, but not going overboard. Clearly described the problem with the graphics, the quality of the control/responsiveness, and the sound.
Would have been better if screenshots and scores had been included, but overall a pretty good review.

The reviewer did a good job of using the right amount of detail for the game. The descriptions were written well, though screenshots would have been helpful. The ratings of each part at the end are a little confusing, and I feel that they need a little more info. Also a conclusion paragraph would have been nice.
9/10

This has gotta be the same person that did the Popeye review (and half a dozen others.) All the same problems I found in that one apply here, though this is a bit better. Still, no screen shots, no point totals and a general lack of development.
Score: 5

I think more elaboration could've been included with the aspects, but this review is still pretty good in getting the author's point across.

I'm giving this one a 6/10.
I've got a "lukewarm" feeling after reading the review, and much as this would be a bad thing for the beer itself, this classic bartender game's review suffers as a result. I'm not getting a real sense of enthusiasm in this review - or any energy whatsoever. Kinda reads like the back of the game's box, except for the all-too-brief breakdown of graphics, sound, gameplay. Writers... make me FEEL it!
