So far, I haven't read the review itself, just your preceding comments, but I still have some comments of my own...

Second, I'm going to be posting this with about fifteen 8's, 9's, and 10's for this game. I want to be able to tell why I felt the way I did when everyone else in the world, except Dark Gaia, loves this game.


If I'd see "4" admit a bunch of 8, 9 and 10 reviews, I'd just about always read the 4 first. Outsider opinions are often the most informative and interesting.

It's over 3,000 words (unless Microsoft Word is screwy) and I'm not sure what to cut.


Are you worried about gamefaqs having an upper word limit? I think people have posted really long reviews there before. I wouldn't give any thought to cutting anything unless and until you submit it and it's rejected.
