If you mean actual reviews, you don't post them in USN, you post them in the Review center. There are no official guides for user submitted reviews, simply write however you want to.

There is no prescribed format. You get to make it up to be the review you want it to be -- personally I go with writing the review I would want to read (trying to do something in another's style rarely works, and honesty goes without saying*), though if you can make it a bit more wide appeal then do that (I rarely find online multiplayer that compelling but I reckon I can give an assessment of the quality if the single player is something I am otherwise looking at).
Most would suggest you break it up into sections (5000 words is a long thing for a single essay, broken up into sections of a few paragraphs and it is far more approachable for many), pictures are nice, intro/overview followed by meat and conclusion is tried and tested, some kind of humour often works but can have downsides (especially if you fluff the humour).
*ape someone else's style and most will consider it finding your groove after you crank out a few good ones, misunderstand a mechanic resulting in your dissing an otherwise good game and again a few good ones and water under the bridge, once a shill or a liar then forever a shill or a liar.
