9/10: If you've ever enjoyed a game in this genre you'll like this.
8/10: A great game, fans of the genre will have fun.

6/10: An above average game with some flaws, but worth checking out.
5/10: Moderate to hardcore fans of the genre will find enjoyment, casual fans of the genre may want to rent first.
