Single Player Review Criteria
By Ravenhawk | September 22, 2007
Returning from my Hiatus, that was quite frankly, equatable almost equally to my PS2 than it was to school, I decided I should at least be somewhat productive and write up reviews for some of the games I was playing. However, my review criteria written up previously were crafted specifically for the MMORPG genre so I had to write up some new ones.
Gameplay: How the game plays, including control, mechanics, difficulty.
Graphics: How the game looks. This doesn’t necessarily mean things have to have the most “intense” 3D stuff, it’s more how well the visuals are pulled together and fit with the overall game.
Sound: I haven’t played many good games that didn’t have sound. From ambient background noise to intense battle music, sound helps set the environment and bring your game to life.
Fun: How fun is the game? This really balances together a lot of the other elements. How entertaining is the game overall? How much replay value does it have?
Overall: This score is an average of all the others. Here will be a few comments on how all the other elements were pulled together.
