9/10 (Very, VERY Good)
Excellent review. The reviewer did a great job of detailing the history behind (and following) the game and describing his reactions to the different parts of the game (the part about the ringtone was great!) I just wish that some more detail was given about why the reviewer found the simplicity of the market section of the game provided the best experiences, rather than merely list the kind of stuff you can do there.

I give it a 9/10. It covered a LOT about MULE. It made me really interested in the game, and was well-written. Basically, a quality review!

This was an excellent review, definitely worthy of inclusion in the main DP Review pages.
The game was described well, without focusing too much on the mechanics or details necessary to actually play.
The extra bits of info and provided links to more information and M.U.L.E. resources online were a nice touch to an already outstanding article.
10/10.

Great job of getting even non-MULE players caught up.
Amazing! It's another Review of Quality!

This is on the edge of being a very good review, but just comes a tad short.
Strenghts:
- very intelligent explanation about gameplay principles beyond the actual game (although ther are elements (!) of some of the principles in the game, but not clearcut applications of these principles, e.g. prisoner's dilemma)
- very knowledgeable and informative about the background of development and the perception of the game today (big plus)
- the presentation of gameplay isn't merely descriptive, but contains some good first steps of evaluating it at the same time.
Weaknesses:
- it's still too descriptive. Looking at other reviews as well, I admit to combine description and evaluation based on analysis is hard to learn and requires practice. (this goes for oral and written argumentation) The review doesn't fall into the trap of a simple, painful dichotomy of description and evaluation like so many other reviews, but it still gets lost in too much descriptive details rather than focusing on selected important gameplay aspects and dicussing them. (meaning show deficits and/or positive aspects)
- the overall score of 8 is inconsitent with the content of the review. I expected a clearcut 10, which means there must be some deficits in gameplay which are not addressed in the review.
Just a little bit of a push, and you're there.Really a nice review.
Overall: 8.5/10
9.5 out of ten
I, Garland, shall knock you all down!
The reviewer did a good job of describing the game with just the right amount of detail. The only thing keeping me from a perfect score is the end of the review. While I normally wouldn't mind all of the production info and links, the reviewer left us with nothing but it. I feel that a conclusion beforehand would have made the review complete.
9/10
Very detailed and very informative. All aspects were discussed in this easy to read review. Thanks for the screenshots and the links. Fine review.
9/10

I say this is the one to beat. I knew little about this game, and the review tells me just enough. The reviewer explains well why he likes the game and the background information is actually interesting. The only complaint I have is the "old school learnin' " line, but I can ignore that. First place.
Score: 10
