Darn near perfect. History, gameplay, everything I want in a review. I feel like I'm leaving eBay feedback. A+++ GOOD REVIEWER WOULD READ AGAIN!

Really good! Informative and complete without being overly long. One minor quibble: since this is listed as a Mega Drive game and not a Genesis game, I have to assume it never came out in the U.S. It would have been nice to have this confirmed in the text.

Not bad. It has a rote GameFAQs quality to it, but that's not always a bad thing. My only gripe is that the reviewer doesn't really explain why Undead Line is a good game. It's challenging, yes, but how does that make it enjoyable?
All the same, it's an impressive review. 8 out of 10.

Covers everything without dragging badly and gives a good feel of what the game is really like. Not overly flowery or ranting, just the straight hard facts, with a bit of love thrown in. And one of the only shooter reviews not to use the term SHMUP. 9/10 here

Pretty good. The review covers all the bases with reasonable thoroughness. The organization could use some work, though.

"Just the facts, Ma'am" style reviews are an invaluable service to people such as myself.
A few grammar glitches (it's instead of its) and a tendency to repeat points (i.e. sound) bring down the enjoyment in rereading this review a notch, and the use of too many words (and commas) cement this opinion.
The final paragraph is quite nicely done, but the last sentence is formulaic.
Aside from that--I don't mind the structure much at all. I think the progression from one point to another was actually rather good and kept it feeling fresh (seems appropriate given the game), but this experience is marred by the blocks of text concerning graphics and sound that don't fit the format.
Overall, I find this review "good" to "very good."
8/10

All aspects of the game are covered and there is enough information describing each. I do think that it could have been organized a little bit better though.

What a satisfying read that was. All the game's aspects were covered sufficiently, and the screenshots are very nice. The last sentence is so very cliche' but I like it anyway. ;)
9/10

This is one of the best, IMHO. A bit legnthy and in need of a touch of proofreading, but it's an actual review, gives good info about the game and I feel the writer has pretty effectively told what he thinks about the game.
Score: 9

I'll give this one a stunning 9/10.
I've never played Undead Line, but I want to, now. And I feel like I know exactly what to expect when I play it. I'm looking forward to it. This review covers all of the bases: good description of the gameplay, sound, and graphics and manages to give examples - something that is missing from some of the other reviews here.
Tiny nit-picking grammar issues rob the review of a 10. It is otherwise exactly what I'm looking for.
