pinside reviews + scores?

Post by cait001 »

I try and score and write reviews for every game I have had in my basement. One of the few things I really like about pinside is their rating system, allowing you to weigh the importance of each of the aspects.
My ratings are up at https://pinside.com/pinball/community/p ... 01/ratings and you can click on any of the "Read Rating Comment" links beneath the ratings to get my written reviews. (or just go to https://pinside.com/pinball/community/p ... s/comments )

At the top it displays my weightings (do you all get to see this or is it only shown to me?) where things like Fun, Gameplay, Layout and Rules are heavily weighted, and stuff like Cabinet, Animations, Gimmicks and Theming are weighed less.

Anyone else here want to link to their ratings so I can browse? Do you follow on rules in choosing the games your rate and/or review?
All 19 games I have had in the basement are rated, some still need reviews though.
backglasses wanted: Star-Jet, Fairy, Star Trek (1971 Gottlieb)
marquees wanted: Roller Aces, Quiz Dragon, Strider, Varkon, Dark Planet, R-Type (w/ship), Quantum, Ninja (Sega)

Here you go cait! I don't mind sharing.

I've rated pins that I've played thoroughly. Anything that I only have a handful of games on I hold off on the review. That said, I should probably put WPT, Star Trek, Iron Man, Metallica, and Rollergames up there. I haven't played enough of my White Water to review it in depth.

Yes, I know my scores are on the high side. :D

Nice! here is the link direct to your ratings only: https://pinside.com/pinball/community/p ... d/ratings/
Shocked by your Whirlwind score, but hey to each their own. :)
