My site is a mix between IMDb and Flixster, but more IMDb, and for games. Is jReview suitable for this? Or should I look else where?

How much can I customize it? Can I add in a real-time star rating system like in the links below, if so how hard would it be? (All programming would be outsourced)

Found this from the showcase. Which is similar to what I am trying to do. So I am guessing there is some hope.

I don't know exactly what features you are after, so I can't tell you if it's suitable. I can tell you there's a large number of gaming sites using jReviews. A simple Google search gives you a few additional examples that might be helpful.

Answering your specific question about the ratings, there is a single function that generates the output for the select lists for ratings in jreviews.common.php called selectSlider. You can customize it to show the ratings anyway you want.

Thanks for the quick reply, would you say that a majority of people are using SOBI2 with jReviews?

I have jReviews installed now, and checking it out. Thanks again.

I don't think so, but I don't have hard numbers. A few are, but many others are using jReviews standalone and some also with jReviewsEverywhere for rating of Community Builder profiles.
