The length is not essential - the infos are - and that's the main deal.
We can all take good looks at the preview of a new site - and even the well known ones that we have not visited for some time...
For both it's the details that matters.
And if you do not get that specific infos your're looking for, there are always the replies and answers.

I picked "other". I like long reviews, that are full of site details and personal opinions. But there are reviews that can be fun or interesting to read because of the writer's talent: Toadsith writes the most professional reviews, he even wrote a couple of guidelines on how to write a review and what points to include, that are well worth reading. There are others who can inject some welcome humor or really interesting point of view. And there are many more writers who can give you a clear idea of whether a particular site might be a worthwhile join for you.
The reviews and comments (and some of the threads) can provide really useful information about these sites: both the positive and negative values.

I said that it depends on the reviewer but it also could have been that it depends on the site being reviewed. Some sites just don't require a lot of info. There are some reviewers who write such amazing reviews that it's a pleasure reading what they have to say

The quality of the writing and of the reviewing matters most of all. If a reviewer can write so that info is easy to find in the pro and con sections, and if the kind of info that's important is there, then that's tops.
For the bottom line, the gift of prose and sometimes a sense of humor are of course appreciated.
Sufficient paragraphing is something I like, too. When the bulk of the text looks long and formless, it scares me off a bit.
And as Pat362 said, it depends on the site. A newer or revamped site needs more specifics, but a site that's been reviewed a lot already, for which existing current reviews already contain specs such as video and pic sizes, doesn't have to be put under the microscope as much.

There the info the better, I think that joining a website is much like an investment. I want to make sure that I get the most bang for my buck and knowing is half the battle.

I dont think the number of words really has any correlation with the quality / detail of a review. Some people can saw a lot in a few words while others can write a novel sized review and not say a thing.
