UPDATE: We have changed our scoring method. Please see below.

Do you play a lot of games? Do you think people would like to hear your opinions? Do you think you can do a better job of reviewing a game than IGN or GameTrailers? If so, NintendoFuse wants to hear from you! In addition to encouraging reviews here in the NintendoFuse forums, we will also start posting the best ones on the main NintendoFuse page for all to see. However, if you want your review to be considered for the main site, please follow these guidelines (as discussed and approved by the WiiNintendo staff):

Here is the style we would like to stick with (for NintendoFuse reviews):

*Be sure to play an adequate amount of the game before reviewing it. If you can finish it, that is best, but at least put a few hours in before stating your opinions on a game. People do not want to hear your thoughts if you barely played it.

Information:
- Name of game
- Version played
- How obtained (required, especially if from a publisher as a "gift")

Review: (5 paragraph essay anyone??)
- Introduction/Story (catch people up who might be out of the loop)
- Gameplay (style, genre, fun or boring, etc.)
- Controls (controllers used, how they work, opinions)
- Atmosphere (visuals & sound)
- Conclusions (summarize & final thoughts)

*Sometimes the Gameplay/Controls can be combined if the particular game lends itself to it.

Score:
- We have decided on a SIMPLE 1-10 scoring method. 10 is the best and 1 is the worst.
- Only use .5's if extremely necessary (i.e. cannot make up your mind between a 3 and 4).
- Give the game a numbered score of 1-10, with a very short explanation of why you said that (basically summarize your review in a sentence or two).

--------------------------------------------

ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS:
- When you finish, create a new thread, labeling it "MEMBER REVIEW - Name of Game."
- Include screenshots and video, if you can.

** These guidelines are subject to change, as needed by the NintendoFuse staff.

Feel free to review whatever game you want for the forums. However, only ones for Nintendo systems would have a chance to be put on the main site (for obvious reasons).

Im getting Sonic Colors on the Wii and Naruto Shippuden Dragon Blade Chronicles...maybe I will contribute to this review thing.

Does it matter what game system (or game) that is reveiwed, or is it wii platform only?

It does not matter. However, only ones for Nintendo systems would have a chance to be put on the main site (for obvious reasons).
