I went through points 1-5. To prove it, I will quote directly from my review:

#1 – It’s a slightly-improved clone of Diner Dash.
#2 – Okay, maybe I didn’t mention that. But you wouldn’t either if you hadn’t had to play yesterday’s “game”.
#3 – I said yes to that.
#4 – I said yes to that.
#5 – I specifically said that people who like Diner Dash will like it even more.

And I basically said everything else that you said(minus the bit about complaining, since it was a review). You’re mad because I deducted points for the game not being original enough? I actually said that it was better than the score suggested, what more could you want? Maybe I should weigh the scores differently?

Since I couldn’t find your general point, maybe you could upload an example review?

GO SNOWY LUNCH RUSH

Lockett — a better written review, today, but you’re still too hard on these games. The questions you should ask are:

1) What is this game like?
2) Does the game perform well?
3) Is the game of a professional level of quality?
4) Is the game FUN?
5) What sort of person would enjoy this game?

I don’t like the Dynasty Warriors games, because I find them dull and repetitive. I feel the same way about games like Kingdom Under Fire, Ninety Nine Nights, Devil Kings, and anything else that imitates the “Hack. Slash. Repeat.” formula. But by the same token, I have friends who love Dynasty Warriors 3, 4 and 5 and who will buy any game like them. Sure, those other games are derivate, often with the same flaws, but certain people just can’t get enough of them.

The same rule applies to clones and knockoffs. Today’s game is an enhanced clone of Diner Dash. It’s not even a knockoff– it’s officially licensed. And it’s just as good as Diner Dash; anyone who enjoys that series will enjoy this Snowy adventure. So tearing it down because you feel it’s an unimaginative clone of a great game isn’t helpful to the people who like Diner Dash because they’re going to want to download and play it anyhow just to see what’s different.

Judging by the comments on this thread, at least half the people have never played Diner Dash before, so it’s a novel experience. And many of those who have are reporting that this game is funnier and moves a little bit faster. The folks who are whining are the same old folks who always whine about “kid’s games,” even though almost every other game offered by this site in the last few months has fallen into that category.

Compared to yesterday’s atrocious Santa Claus game, Snowy’s Lunch Rush is a masterpiece. And even as a $20 game, it’s a good value for people who like this sort of thing. I’m even happier to have it for free.

WR — 8 out of 20? You meant 8/10, right?
