    Not terrible, but lacking a lot of information. I would definitely want to know about the arcade game, how the graphics and sound compare between the versions, etc. Also, there's no mention of flapping -- ie, the move that killed a thousand buttons.

    ditto. He didnt say if he liked the game also, and didnt tell about any of the bugs in the game. I also think that you should talk a little about the arcade since that is where it started.

    5.5/10

    It's good to see the reviewer touched on each of the aspects of the game, but it could use a bit more information in these areas as well. The read was easy and explicit.

    4. It touched stuff, but it didn't really cover it. Parts of the review felt more like a manual than a review. It just doesn't really COVER the game, it instead brushes it.

    4/10

    I share the sentiments of the earlier posters. Also, why no numerical ratings for Sound, Graphics, etc.?

    I too would've liked to see more comparisons between it and it's daddy arcade game. What are the similarites? What are the differences as far as gameplay goes? How do the graphics compare? etc.

    I give it a 5
