I'd have to agree, the current color system is weird. I also think that people should give the games a rating if they're going to give their opinion about it.

How ya doing, buddy?

If there was a magazine/ web site that reviewed games without a rating at the end, I'd buy/ read it.

There is already a rating system with the colors. Numbers are just more clear.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

To the color blind, and those who prefer a more conventional rating system. Not to mention that the guy who made the thread gave a numeric rating in his example.

Anyways, I agree that it's too late to change now.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Lol, ok, I'll do my ratings of the games I own.

Advance Wars DS Rating: 9/10
A colorful, and fun turn-based strategy game with a low learning curve. The game has arguably the most replay value of any DS game on the market, and can easily last anyone over 100+ hours without them ever completing everything there is to do. There is even a map editor to make your own maps.

Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow Rating: 8.5/10
I love my 2d sidescrollers, and this episode of Castlevania delivers the goods in spades. Not only is there an extra difficulty level once you complete the game once, but even a new and perhaps superior "Julius mode". This new mode is less linear, and represents a more old-school style of play where your character can only acquire simple upgrades such as damage and health.

Mario Kart DS Rating: 8/10
Alright, I have never been a fan of Mario Kart, and this game hasn't changed my opinion in the least. On the positive side, the game is fun on occasional bursts, and the gameplay is rock solid. However, I'm simply not a "Nintendo fan", and the game's simplistic nature doesn't impress me.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
