Hey people. This is 9-Volt, reviewer of few games. I only review games I like, so expect positive stuff. I'm reviewing this game, Metro Cross, because 1) it's a Namco game 2) there are no reviews for it 3) it's unique, and 4) I seriously love this game. Also, I realized, this is the first review I've written all in one sitting - does that say anything?

Graphics: 8
These are some great graphics. Everything is recognizable, nothing is short of colors, and sprites are well-sized. They aren't the best, but I think they're really good for 1985.

Sound: 9
I LOVE THIS SOUND. Metro Cross takes music reminiscent of Mappy and sound effects that stand out all on their own and combines them into a luxurious package only deliverable by Namco. Sound effects fit with what they're assigned to - a jump is a little jumpy sound, the ready-set-go sound is a whistle, the credit noise is a happy little sound, the get-ready-for-a-stage fanfare is excited, the get-rolled-over noise is like WRAT, the get-blown-upward sound is a "whoosh" thing, the pick-up-a-thing noise is one that is nice and you won't get sick of it, the beat-a-level thing is a nice fanfare. It all fits.

Addictiveness: 10
I'm not exaggerating here, the only reason I'm playing a whole lotta other games is to see all the Pac-Man clones and all the Namco games. When I go on Vizzed I think: Metro Cross. Or Robotron: 2084. This game is addicting, inside- and outside-of-game. (Meaning, not only will I immediately nominate it as a choice when looking on Vizzed for a game to play, but I'll also start another game or two after a game over.)

Story: 4
There actually is no story, but given the guy's outfit and the backgrounds and obstacles one can easily be imagined.

Depth: 7
Various backgrounds and obstacles. Surprises at every turn. I haven't gotten far enough in the game to see all of it, but it's pretty big so far.

Difficulty: YMMV, but for me it's a 5.5
Like all games, the difficulty varies depending on how good you are at it. For me, it's pretty in the middle. I can get pretty far, but I'm not an expert. It'll most likely be easy or medium to most, though - the controls are just about perfect, and nothing is unclear.

Conclusion: 8.5
Metro Cross is just about one of my favorite games not just on Vizzed, but in all time. Sorry if this review seemed short, but there's not a whole lot to be said - Metro Cross is a good game by a good company. Why don't you give it a try if you haven't already?

Not bad. Not bad at all man.

Its categorized very well and I guess the amount of detail isn't too bad. Just try to talk more about each category if you can (or if the game has enough to talk about.). Not much else to say but I look forward to your future reviews.

Nice review man, as moham said, this is categorized pretty well and you put in a decent amount of detail into it which is good. I really think you could elaborate and go into more detail with discussing the game in some areas, like graphics and depth for example, those are two parts you can really go into detail discussing, like this: 

Graphics: 8

The graphics of the game were pretty good given that it is an older game, I think this is the best part of the game because...blah blah blah

You can really go into a great amount of depth talking about each part. 
That is all I can really say about your review, other than that I think you did a great job. Continue frequently writing reviews like this and you will master it in no time and your reviews will become longer naturally. Keep up the good work and keep writing more reviews!
