This one is intended to be a review, but as I already placed my own words, I have no choice but to put it here.
First, let's find out this one and look for the lowest-rated comments.
As a fan of the concerned series, I know what some of these pieces' fans are, and it's also not surprising to see there would be many who don't like it, especially that the series made it to Daily top-5 for almost all installments since its first launch about a year ago.
Sincerely, I don't think it's something we can call a game either, and the pieces' originality is questionable. One thing though, NG has a pretty strict rule on whistling, and unless there are people who can kindly find out the original piece, it's not very wise to blow a whistle without placing one's own whistle status in jeopardy.
What I am really sick is that I saw a comment by "MattTheParanoidKat" (who happens to be a double dick-head himself) rated as "useless". Sure, he's not talking something fans would like to see, but it's well-reasoned on its own right, and the tone is (apart of some rudeness out of frustration) mostly gentle. We can dislike it, but it's simply wrong to rate it down.
That reviewer showed respect to what he doesn't like, by voicing his words appropriately. We people should know how to pay that kind of respect more.

If you check my profile you can see my whistle status being "Deity". It doesn't make much sense actually -- I don't make a good participation here and I sure don't know if an entry is stolen or hateful (the latter is quite hard to decide).
The key here is: Whistle abusive reviews.
Well, once upon a time (before I took the long break) I dedicated myself to flag all abusive reviews within some popular entries, and even though the points I got would be small, flagging LOTS of them (correctly) means getting TONS of whistle points, and frankly the Deity status comes just a few days after doing that and I pretty much stayed that way then.
Now that people make review more considerately but it's still far from being free of abusive reviews. So if you want to have something looking good on your profile page, try flagging abusive reviews -- but make sure you understand the Reviewing Guideline first, and don't complain to me if you got a garbage for mis-flagging stuff.
