Can you implement individual product reviews by customers in Ubercart, similiar to what is found at Amazon? Is there a drupal module that will provide this?

Something besides the Drupal comment module? Also there was a Fivestar rating request on Drupal for showing ratings in the user comments but looks like it'll still have to be implemented.

I second using Fivestar and comments. We have this feature disabled for now on our site but it works perfectly. Basically you just make a rating required for comments on your product node type, effectively turning your comments into reviews.

Problem with the rating on comments is it doesn't reflect what the average rating is for the products, unless I'm missing something. Thats what the post on Drupal was talking about.

Here's what I've done with my cart (Not live yet)

Nope, you can have the node itself display the average rating from the comment ratings. I think that's in the content type settings.

Here's what I had to do to make it work properly.

Since I display my rating in the product description I had to set it to static display and let users vote when they leave a comment. Other wise it seems or it seemed to not work properly if the user used the product display voting and then in the comments.

I recently created a website that allow to attach a review to a comment and to display the average of all review in the "parent" node.

All can be done using fivestar and nodecomment.

I set up fivestar and comments to allow for reviews on one site. I thought it would be confusing to have the reviews called "Comments" though. I ended up using the String Overrides module to rename all the variations of the word "comments" to "reviews". I'm curious since no one else has mentioned it, is that what others here have done? It seems like that or a locale translation are the only options or am I missing something?

It is not the name of the node type to modify ?

Oh, I guess I get it now. So, zmove, you're using the "Node Comments" module to make comments into nodes. I can see how that would be beneficial, since you would get more flexibility by being able to use Views for displaying comments.
