How Not To Write A Review

This is a review of 1up's Justin Haywald's Own Review Of Shaun White Snowboarding.

Someone actually paid you to write this? Sorry but this felt more like a forum rant than an official review. It's way too subjective, I know any review will be to a degree but this is ridiculous. I haven't played the game and am considering buying it, in what way is this supposed to give me a good idea of whether or not it's worth my money? Is that not the purpose of a review? And not, as you seem to believe, to vent about the things u dislike in a game? What are the graphics like? how does the career progress? how does the online actually work? what is the character customization like? Is there much replay value? What is the quality of the sound in the game? What does it do well overall? Its like half a page of writing, and tells me absolutely **** all about the game, just that he was quite **** at it.

I struggle to understand how his editor let this go up, I don't blame him for a **** review, I blame the editor for letting human eyes see it. Go read a Nick Suttner review, you might learn something.

The 1up Page is for the 1up object, like the mushrooms in Super Mario Bros.  Moving to General.

Nothing necessarily wrong with that. At least he didn't use the review feature to do so.

No, he totally did. Just one 1-UP. Look at the user reviews below the main review on 1-UP for SWS. His rant is the first post there, in review format.

that is quite crappy, i agree.  while I don't mind him doing it informally (saying I about his personal experiences-- which i think is called for) and diving right into the review without a fluff intro, but you know, we don't care for a testimony, we want to know the features
if someone said a game was bad i would avoid it.  However, if this "bad" is because it is very anime like, that would actually be a good to me.

Oh, that? No one ever uses that for actual reviews. Nearly everyone who writes a "user review" on 1UP is responding to the staff review.
