GameFAQs Help: Reviews

How do you get reviews for games that aren't even out yet?

Normally, we never accept a review for any game before it's released, but keep in mind that games are often released in other countries long before they come out in others. Games are often released in Japan months before they're released in the United States, and it can be several months later before they come out in Europe (although the process is sometimes reversed).

After I rate a review, what happens to that rating?

These reviews are stored by GameFAQs and the top 2% of overall rated reviews are considered Recommended and are denoted by a star (). These reviews are sorted to the top of their respective categories.
