It's a delicate balance. I personally don't want to fill out a massive questionnaire (even 5 questions may be too many) just to rate something, usually these fixed axises don't always fit what I want to say either. People seem to respond well to a simple rating and a free-form paragraph, both as readers and reviewers -- what is the incentive for the person writing the detailed review to actually write it? All the data needs to be boiled down to a single yes or no in the mind of the reader trying to make a decision anyway.

Although then I have to be careful not to trivialize it and turn it into a game since I still want it to be a good resource for prospective customers.
