3 Heaven's rating system consists of 5 categories: Playability, Creativity, Balance,
Map Design and Story/Instructions. Each category is rated by a reviewer on a scale
of 1-5 and the overall score is calculated as a strict average of the 5 scores. A
detailed explanation of the categories and scores is below. |

|
| Category
Descriptions |
| Playability - Is the scenario captivating and enjoyable? A high score is given in this
category if, upon completing the scenario, you want to play it again because it was so
fun! |
| Creativity
- Is the scenario a retread of other people's ideas or is there something truly unique
about this scenario? If a scenario stands out in your memory because it features
something not found in other scenarios, it will receive a high score. |
| Balance
- Is the scenario winnable but not too easy? A scenario will receive a high score in
this category if you are still challenged by the scenario even if you've already won
it. |
| Map Design
- Is the map enjoyable to look at? If the overall map view in the lower right corner
looks attractive and if cliffs and elevation are used in a reasonable and practical way, a
scenario will score big. |
| Story/Instructions
- Does the player feel like a part of the scenario? Does the player know how he can
win or lose the scenario? A well crafted story with detailed and correct
instructions will score big. Having no instructions at all or incorrect instructions
score an automatic 1. |
