Graphics:7. Compared to other  games at the time Dig Dug offered more with graphics, Pac-Man was literally a yellow circle, and many other games just had odd shapes for people, or basic icons. Dig Dug, on the other hand made me get a feel like this was more real the inflation transitions of enemies looked very real. This could also be said for breaking rocks. This game definitely  set the standard for graphics back then

Sound:8. The sounds, while being unrealistic are definitely very good. The sound for Dig Dug's walking, while short is catchy. The only downsides are that the sound of the Pookas [tomatoes with goggles], and Fygars [cute green dragons] are very annoying, and are constant if not moving, and that a majority of the game's sound [that is also fantastic] is rarely heard.

Addictiveness: 10. This game is extremely addictive. And that all goes to game play and sound. Because I already covered sound though let the majority of this be about the game play. Basically you dig through the ground and try to kill all the enemies on the screen. The enemies are Pookas an Fygars [named above.] They run around in tunnels at high speed. Pookas just run Fygars spam low range fire breath. You can pop them with a bicycle pump or smash them with rocks. It is a very simple fun and addictive game.

Story-   . While this game has no story, it is not hard to imagine what happened. Either Dig Dug is a deranged psychopath, or these animals are causing trouble [ruining gardens making tremors etc.]

Depth:5. The game might have been good, but the game is still very basic. It has no special items, only 2 enemies and high amounts of repetition. Well, quality over quantity I guess, *sigh*

Difficulty: 6. The game starts out really easy and is throughout most of the game the only time I really die is when I get tag teamed by a lot of
enemies or when I have a problem with momentum or the pump doesn't do what I want to do. 

Extra Acknowledgements: Quality wise the game would be in late 8's to about a 9.1 with a good deal of luck. It got as high as it did because of it's originality, it's a golden oldie as I would say it.

So overall Dig Dug is a great game that really deserves the 9.3 rating I have given it!

Dig Dug...
One of my favorite Arcade Games... :')
That is a great improvement on your last review!
The first time I knew about this game was because a Mini-Game on Pac-Man Party
I was a bit addictive to it, but not too much.
But it is a good improvement.

The story category made me laugh This is a really good review. In my opinion, you did a very nice job on every category! I don't see anything that could be improved besides the amount of detail you put, which can't be improved a lot. Keep up the great work!

Reading that review brought back so many childhood memories. I remember I would always die thanks the dragons though, and never the pookas.

Also, a bit of constructive criticism here... your review work could use a little work. While you have the right concept down, try reading a few other reviews to see how some other's do it, but try to have your own unique style. Not bad though.
