I really like this review, and the padded intro works better than it has any right to.

I'm going to regret using that intro if I continue to review some of the XBLI games I've been playing around with. I'll have to find other ways to pad things out a bit. On the other hand, it's nice to be able to spit out a simple review on a simple game now and then. I'm glad this one got across the points -- padding and all.

haha. If anything, I'm amused with how cleverly you tied the conclusion and intro together. Without it, much of the intro really would have been irrelevant. In any case, I personally don't have a problem with this so-called word limit thing. If the game's too short or too inconsequential to say much about, then who cares if it's short? My problem with that thing is if the review clearly should explain more than it does because it's obvious that the game has a lot more to it. But I imagine that's almost never the case with games like this. To go along with that, I think what you said here was plenty enough, and presented well, too, to give a clear idea of what the game is like.

I disagree, my good woman; there are multiple values that are lacking, hence the pural. So there!
