If the game gets boring before it's finished, either shorten it or add variety!
Yes, in a level based game I can agree it´s not good if it gets boring before you beat it. And I probably wouldn´t give it a very high score if that´s the case, a 6 or 7 at most (if it´s very good quality-wise). But a 6 or 7 is not really a great score in my opinion, it´s just average-not bad.
Anyway, I dunno which type of game the guy reviewed from your example. If he was playing a puzzlegame or something, those games do start to get boring after some time. I can´t spent my entire day playing tetris or something like that. But if you´re already playing for an hour until you get bored, that is in my eyes very positive. I just look at how long it takes till it bores you.
But if his title is "well made but boring", I guess it bored him too soon. So I agree the 6 or the 7 was a little high. Then again, maybe he sees a 6 or 7 as a not so-very-good-score.
I really don't care how technically 'good' something is - just whether it's fun, or makes me 'feel' something (like some empathy with the characters').
Yes well, like I said, it´s not only based on quality whether I like a flash or not. There were a few flashes which were not very good quality-wise but I still enjoyed them a lot for some reason.
