My review plugin is now at the version 1.2 . It brings a new tag {rw_text} and support for I18N (Internationalization).
The new tag enables you to have a text outside the full review. While it's optional I'm sure some of you will find it useful 
.
How to use it
{rw_text}
Any text you don't want included in the review
{/rw_text}
The text appears before the review, but you can change its place by modifying the template.
Download the new version from wordpress.org
The Good
Very user friendly.
It comes translated in quite a few languages. |
The Bad
From the utility point of view it's around 90% useless.

Since many people publish reviews on their blogs and I'm going to write a few of my own soon, I thought to make easier their lives (and mine) and thus I wrote a little Wordpress plugin named "My Review" that formats a simple post into a review.
By using some special tags you can improve the overall look and feel of your review, providing a better experience for your readers.

The GoodEasy to install, you can customize it at your leisure with themes and plugins. FREE |
The BadNot very efficient, it uses more resources that it needs to. You have to install a plugin to benefit from caching. |

Ease of Use
Wordpress is famous for user friendliness but sometimes some not so friendly bugs show their ugly faces.

Performance
It performance still needs to be improved by reducing the number of database queries and having the cache system enabled by default etc.

Flexibility
Its amazing ability to support so many themes and plugins is overshadowed by a poor documentation.
