If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
Concise: I may have liked or disliked playing the game, but this is not the same as liking or disliking the game itself.
Not so concise:
You seem to be confusing two things:
1. One's experience with a file.
2. The file itself.
Simple example: if you saw a great movie when you were in a lot of pain, you might not like it. Thus, your experience would be crappy, although the movie was good. If you reviewed the movie, based on how much you enjoyed it, you'd write an inaccurate review.
The situation is quite different with games, since games are interactive. But I still think that you should rate the game and not the experience.
Normally, I have some sense of what the author is trying to do in a dmod, even if I can't put it into words. Then I can tell whether I like this idea, and whether it is well executed. But if I don't quite see the author's point, as happens here, I can't really say whether it is a good file.
In fact, I sometimes see reviews where people *clearly* don't understand what's going on, and these piss me off quite a bit. I don't want to write one of these reviews, therefore, I'll not write any review at all.
