This rating system might seem a little weird to you so I'll explain in as much detail as possible. The Rating Categories are as follows:
Graphics- This includes technical use of graphics as well as the quality of the games appearance and presentation.
Sound- This includes the quality and use of sound effects and music in the game.
Gameplay- This includes everything from the game interface to its control and how well balanced it is. Basically it is, how well a game plays and how enjoyable it is to play.
Value- This reflects the games longevity or how long you'll be able to play and enjoy the game and how much replay value you'll get out of it. The retail price of a game can also figure into the value score.
Reviewers(My)Opinion- This score basically lets the reviewer sway the final score, either higher or lower based on the reviewer's experience with a game.
These Five Scores Are Used To Generate The Final Review Score
10.0: "Perfect"
This exceedingly rare score refers to a game that is as perfect as a game can ever aspire to be. A game that recieves this score could not be reasonably be improved in any way. Any game recieving this score will be awarded my Golden Star Game Award automatically.
9.0-9.9: "Superb"
I absolutely recommend any game in this range, especially to fans of that particular genre. However, games that score in this range are also well suited for new players. Games that score in this range are highly uncommon, and automatically are entered to win by fan vote a Golden Star Game Award.
8.0-8.9: "Great
This score refers to great games that are excellent in most every way and whose few setbacks probably are'nt to important. I highly recommend games in the upper half of this range, as they tend to be good enough to provide enjoyable expierences to fans of the games particular genre and to new players alike.
7.0-7.9: "Good"
A game within this range is good and likely worth playing by fans of its particular genre or by those otherwise interested. While its strengths outweigh its weaknesses, a game that falls in this range tends to have noticeable faults. A low 7 represents the average score for my rating system.
6.0-6.9: "Fair"
A game within this range has certain good qualities but significant problems as well. Games that score in the 6 range may well be worth playing, but you should approach them with caution.
5.0-5.9: "Mediocre"
A 5-range score refers to a game thats "Merely Average" in the negative sense or in other words mediocre. Medicore games have enough weaknesses to thoroughly dampen their strenghts. A much better game probably exists, one that you should try sooner.
4.0-4.9: "Poor"
Games that just don't work right and maybe didn't spend enough time in production tend to fall in this category. They simply lack the quality that makes other games fun.
3.0-3.9: "Bad"
You probably shouldn't get too close to a game in this range. Any of its posistive qualities are most likely serve only to make the rest of it seem more dissapointing.
2.0-2.9: "Terrible"
Beware; a game within this range is almost entirely devoid of any effective or fully functional features.
1.0-1.9: "Abysmal"
Ouch. The rare game that falls in this lowest of the low ranges has no redeeming qualities at all.
