Generation:4001 Build a beautiful city, with over 50 objects and over 10000 tiles per city! This simulates traffic, pollution, tourism, crime and more!

Okay!
@UltraAdam I'll get to those later, looks like you've got lots of projects you want reviewed 
Generation- 4001 Gold by Borrego6165
Score: 84/100 BASIC OKAY GOOD COOL GREAT AMAZING PERFECTION
This thing is huge! Really fun to play. I understand how this could take months. The graphics are great, the programming is amazing, the music fits perfectly. Honestly I don't have much criticism for this, it's really amazing. The only reason that this didn't get 100/100 is that this has been done many times before (although not on this scale) and, therefore, isn't very original.

Re: Project Reviews
fair enough it's been done before, but to lose over a 6th of the marks on that is outrageous! An entire 6th! You make Simon Cowell look nice
Firstly, originality should count as around a 10th of the mark (therefore I'd lose 10 points not 16) but then it would be your call to say how original it is compared to the other city games. Is it JUST a city game like the others, or has it taken the old idea and made it fresh? Otherwise, every-time you review an arcade game, a puzzle/maze game, a platform game, an adventure/rpg game you'll have to make all of them lose 16 points- including OS and tutorial projects (you could argue that loads of people make tutorials to help scratchers)

It counts as an 7th of your mark. The other bit was for small stuff, like graphic render time, and the large amounts of scripts.
@others Sure!

Ultra OS by UltraAdam
Score: 78/100 BASIC OKAY GOOD COOL GREAT AMAZING PERFECTION
Wow, this is a nice OS! Very fast and smooth. The game on it is nice, but hard. It would be nice to see some of your other games added to this. The graphics could improve, but they are well designed. The second time you go into the paint editor, it doesn't paint and you can't close it. Nice music selection, the audio player works well. Overall it's a great OS, but can use some improvement.

Could you review EPNinjaObjective for me please? Thanks if you do. Could you also leave comment on it if you do? It's hard to tell if someone's done the review as it's hard to find forum topics on Scratch.

Shift 3 by UltraAdam
Score: 69/100 GOOD
Nice game! It's quite short, though. There are very little instructions, but it's easy to pick up on. The story is sort of unoriginal, and the graphics are simple, but otherwise, nice game! It doesn't work well in the new Flash player, though.
RAY by UltraAdam
Score: 71/100 GOOD
Fun! It's very similar to your other games, and the graphics could improve. Works quite well! I like this game. The levels are nicely made. Also, not much documentation, but it's nice. I like it.
Bounce by UltraAdam
Score: 78/100 GOOD
This is a nice game! I like it's bouncyness. Your graphics are very simple, but it's nice. Programming is nice, but you could have done it differently so it'd work online. Overall it's a fun game, but I couldn't get past level 8 XP

Wow, this is fun! Very original game. Quite addictive. Nice documentation, I got the hang of the game quite quickly. Your scripting is a bit big, it could have been more efficient. This is one of the best non-platformer arcade games on Scratch. Well done, northmeister!

Nice! Although, weird music choice. Fun game. Could use some more advanced stuff, like velocity, but otherwise it's a great game! Graphics also need improvement. I wish there were some way to tell what level you're on.

Nice game! The music is nice, and the gameplay is easy to understand. The story is a bit unoriginal, and the graphics are really basic, but other than that, great game!
