Well i finally wrote a Splinter Cell review

[theONE]

“Fisher, we need you to take a trip, but if you are captured or killed we will not rescue you because we as a nation cannot admit you exist.” Step into the shoes of Sam Fisher and preserve the nation that he protects. You must find a terrorist leader and eliminate him before he transfers vital information given to him by a kidnapped scientist he killed. But this is only the beginning. After training you must complete 9 stealth missions alive and undetected. You have to complete a primary objective, but you may attempt to achieve a few secondary objectives by avoiding lasers, cameras, alarms, and enemy eyes and by not killing your opponents. To complete your mission you are given a SC-20K rifle and a pistol. The rifle is equipped with a scope and is capable of firing shots that can disarm electrical devices, stun opponents, or act as a camera, but it can also shoot normal rifle ammo. During your mission you might need to see something in the dark or identify something by its heat. To do this you may equip your night or heat vision goggles. Your OPSAT (which is like a PDA) helps you store information, remember objectives, or study maps during your mission. The whole game is in full 3d and runs at about 30 FPS. There are a few bugs throughout and the graphics are sometimes a little rough, but you will eventually bend to them. The graphics and 3D are both very good and even with the bugs the game is very good. The music is the same great music as the console versions and fits the mood well. The controls are a little awkward at first but after about 15 minutes of the game you are adjusted. The touch screen is used for changing the camera angle and for aiming and the D-pad is used for moving. If you have any friends with the game you can team up with him/her and embark on 5 co-op levels. One of you will be a hacker equipped with a sticky shooter gun and a few electronic disarming grenades, and the other player is the assaulter who kills all the enemies. Only the hacker can hack some computers and only the assaulter can kill a guard, so team work is needed. You can also have a battle of the guards and the spies in the versus mode. This is one of the best DS games and one of the best games I have played in a long time. It is a little choppy and the controls and graphics take a little adjusting to but it is so much fun. I am not sure why the professional reviews all gave it such a low score because I think the game is very well done.

My ratings:
•Presentation: 8.0
•Game play: 9.0
•Graphics: 8.5
•Sound: 9.0
•Lasting time: 8.5
•Multi-player: 8.0

This one gets an 8.0 overall due to the glitches and frame rate.

please if anyone spots any errors (factual, gramatical, or other) please say it. Baronen, i tried to use ur 'advice' for this review.

Its a cool review but could do with some paragraphs.
From my days of reviewing you should always start with an intro. Then split the rest up in paragraphs of the things your rating i.e presentation, gameplay, graphics, sound, lasting time and multiplay.
This will make it look more presentable and will add a wealth to your image as a reviewer.

Doesnt really matter if the paragraphs are even 2 lines long, as long as they are seperated at the right time then it doesnt matter.
but yeah it looks alot better, well done.
