Short and sweet, but with a bitter aftertaste. This seems more like a short feature on a private collector's web site than it does a game review on an online fanzine.

I'm extremely interested (http://www.lostlevels.org) in unreleased games, so I appreciate knowing that this demo exists. Thank you. Other than that, there isn't much here.

...which is, of course, true of the game itself. A piece like this needs, at the very least, a short investigation on the team behind it, or a comparison to the Playstation2 version, or...something! There's just no substance here.

I'm giving it a 5.

Not only was it a little short, but all the questions that were raised while I was reading it (who developed it? how did you get a copy? who are you in the game?) were never answered. I didn't see Titan AE, and you can't assume your audience has either. I think you have to at least tell us what's going on in the game.

Honestly, length isn't that much of an issue.

The goal of writing any paper is to make sure you get your point across as clearly and quickly as possible.

While the review was quick, it wasn't very clear.

I know it was only a demo, but you summed up the entire first portion of the game in 4 sentences.

You said you enjoyed it, and what it was like, but thats it. Why was it good? That's what a review needs to be about.

The second section was a little better though.

All in all, I'd give it a 5/10

It looks like a rush job in order to get the review in on time.

This is another review that is unnecessarily short. "I actually enjoyed this part of the demo, but it still needed a lot of work" is a bold statement that can use a lot more support than what is given here. (What kind of work? Why is it enjoyable?) There's also barely a word about the movie and whether or not fans of the movie might enjoy the game. And what's with those scores?

4/10

Where's the actual information about the gameplay that IS there? There has to be more to say than that....

The opportunity to tell people about a little-seen prototype title is wasted in this slapdash overview. It makes me curious about the game, but that's only due to the review's lack of information.

Not good and not very detailed at all.

This one is getting "cut". Low review scores from our judges and forum. Sorry! Thanks for playing though... there are lots more contests coming up :)
