because of no comment. to rate it excellent, one should assume they
thought the game was really good :)'

My response:  With 'Excellent' I somewhat agree with Christine.  It is
like getting an 'A+' on a school paper.  Though the teachers usually
wrote something on my papers like, 'Excellent!, splendid research!'

'Good' is understandable, but of no value if someone wanted to improve
their game design.  Going back to the teacher grades, 'B' with no red
marks is not very helpful.  'B' with a comment, 'You failed to
summarize your composition.  Otherwise i'd have given you an A+' is a
useful comment.

But, it is really the rating of 'Poor' [that is unqualified] that I
dislike seeing.  Again, back to the school analogy, 'D-'  no comments...
what was wrong here?  The person getting the mark has the right to know, in
my opinion.
