As for unhelpful reviews, here's a good example "I was expecting more.

anyone decide whether they should buy the game. I'll gladly see the back

 From my understanding, the sort of review you suggested WILL remain
available. As Valve pointed out, some people aren't good at expressing
themselves and -honestly- I think there is some merit to a short
comment like that. Even_I_ tire of overlong reviews sometimes and a
quick, pithy comment can be a useful indicator.

Oh yeh I realise that, it was more me pointing out why create a review those doesn't add information beyond I didn't like it. The flip side is I still use the like/dislike ration as a guide to whether I'll even think about buying a game.
