Tis' a shame no one is actively trying to get their voice heard here anymore; I guess It I'll be a long time before the review system gets overhauled...

Seems so. Damn shame, too. The user reviews section really needs improvements.

A Few Suggestions:

• Be able to make user reviews look like normal Gamespot ones, so have the ability to type cetain things in and they show up as 'the good' and 'the bad' and add game medals.
• Be able to add images.
• Go back to scores of 0.1s, starting at 0.1 and ending at 10. 1.0 for Big Rigs is extremely overrating the game.
• Comments for user reviews.

Hello GameSpot citizens.

One hundred and twenty votes a year later. I hoped for a thousand or more votes by now.

I find more people caring about comments, forum and blogs.

Please have more people vote and we'll consider changes to your review space at a later time.

Thank you.

I like the idea of adding in the features similar to the official GameSpot video game reviews, like "The Good/The Bad", Merits/Demerits, the ability to link your review with a video review (if available).

Some others may have come up with those ideas as well.

Like @ps3gameplayer said, the ideas of being able to insert images and being able to comment on other peoples' reviews sound like great ideas. However I think the idea of being able to insert links to other reviews could work out - though I'm not sure on that one.

I also missed the feature of being able to rate certain categories as numbers, to give a little bit of flexibility on how the final score can be made. I remember when I used to read reviews a while back I was able to see ratings for things like Gameplay, Sound, Graphics, Controls, Story, etc. - I liked that feature - it gives the review a bigger scope on the depth of the game.

Well those are some of my opinions on the User Review features. I'll post more later when I can think of more ways to improve it.

There needs to be a feature to add images, just like in threads, if anyone has read my reviewes, they will notice I always post a link to an image underneath, I would like to be able to replace that with a real image.
