SourceMonitor - Freeware for Code Review

SourceMonitor is a free software tool for code complexity analysis.  It will give you a line count for your project and provides complexity analysis.  I have tried it and found it interesting.  It is free, but you have an opportunity to donate payment to the author.

Here is a link to its website:

Its website says SourceMonitor measures metrics for source code written in C++, C, C#, VB.NET, Java, Delphi, Visual Basic (VB6) or HTML, including method and function level metrics.

Complexity analysis can pin-point sections of code that are overly complex.  Code that is overly complex might be more likely to contain logical errors.  Overly complex code is also harder to maintain.
