Graphics - Section about what the game looks like, good or bad graphics etc.
Music - Section about the choice of music, and whether it's good or bad.
Replay Value - Section about whether you'd want to play the game again.
Overall - For rounding off the review and making a closing statement. This section is the only part that appears on the preview underneath the actual game download.
Problems
Unfortunately, the reviews aren't without their problems. The main problem being many reviews submitted are not up to par. These include reviews that are far too short at only a few sentences long (If there's anything at all), reviews that are far too biased in one direction (Constantly saying it sucks without commenting on one good thing, or vice versa), or reviews that don't physically make sense (Like random jibberish or unrelated text). Usually this results in many reviews being declined.
However, some accepted reviews have a negative impact on our site. Fewer submissions, while in part due to a shortage of interest, may have something to due with the harsh reviews that make their way to the site. Standards now seem to be focused on quality rather than entertainment. Captain Jeff Silvers addressed this problem on the forums.
