"Outstanding!"

submission: Super Mario 63

date: June 22, 2009

I'm a giant fan of Mario 64, and I must say that you've done it great justice with this. Everything flows smoothly, and I never felt "trapped" by any part of the game. You even got the freakin' sounds! My only criticism is that I had some really nasty static noise from time to time out of nowhere. I don't know what this stemmed from, but that was the only hiccup in an otherwise flawless game. 10/10 5/5

"Hmmm"

Maybe I'm just bad at this, but I can't even get past the first level. I just don't like the way either of the characters feel. It's like they're out of control the whole time, and I'm lucky to get even 35/50. From what I've read in the other reviews, it looks like I'm missing out on all the fun. The graphics really are very nice. The flow of everything is smoother than I would've expected. It's a great production. I think I just suck at playing it.

Score: 6

"Well"

submission: DJ CGL - Midnight Anihalation

It's not too bad once it gets going. My main complaint is that it takes so long to get going. After that first bell toll, there's no suspense. Just dead space. I do, however, like the progression of the song. Bell (add), bell (add a little more), and so on. It's really groovin' around the 2 minute mark, but up to that point, it's pretty dull. 6/10, 3/5

"Not too bad"

submission: [JR] My world ends without you

date: December 14, 2009

I have almost no criticisms about the opening half of the song. It's a very rich sounding piano, and the effects you layered over it blended very well. Adding the strings (and did I hear brass?) worked great. Also, I like the depth of the percussion. It's a nice break from the standard hi-hat/snare/heavy kick combo, and it fits with the feel of the song quite nicely. Finally, just wanted to say that the divebomb hit at 0:38 sounded really cool.

Now, my biggest complaint is about your choice of lead starting at 01:55. Considering how mellow the song has been up to this point, it's too aggressive to be effective. The amount of detune on it didn't help much either, considering how high the notes are. I would say turn down the electro filtering on it and bump it down an octave.

Your style has improved a helluva lot since this song, but I still think it's a great piece. It's nice and mellow without being too weak. Keep at it!

4/5, 7/10

"Hell yeah!"

If you're going for high energy, you've nailed it. What really stands out to me is the contrast between the buildup at 0:42 and the impact at 01:06. I definitely wasn't expecting such a hard hit after such a light snare/kick combo, and it was really intense (in a good way). Also, the echoed melody at the beginning got my head bobbing right off the bat.

Criticism: After such a heavy impact at 01:06, I feel like the rest of the song didn't quite live up to it. From 01:06 to 01:39, it just feels very plain compared to the earlier parts. 01:39 was a nice transition to the end (with a good "unwinding" feel to it), but it also felt a bit too empty.

A lot of users (myself included) submit finished products that aren't half as good as this WIP, so my hat goes off to you, good sir. I can't wait to hear the finished version! 8/10, 4/5
