At Sore Thumbs we think game reviews should be done right, so we think all reviews should follow the same simple guidelines, keeping them all on the same scale in relation to one another. So, if you are reviewing a game and posting on the forum, please follow this guide:
The different types of rate factors:
The GAME Factor:
Is this game FUN? Does it keep you coming back to play, or have you seen all the game has to offer in the first couple of hours? Is it BALANCED? (not too repetitive)? Is the game design unique or derivative?
The LOOK Factor:
How do you feel when you SEE the gameplay? How does it look compared to other games of the genre and today’s graphics technology? Does it look dated? Does it do unique things with visual display or menu design? Is it beautiful or just pretty? Are levels well designed or just window-dressed?
The FRIEND Factor:
Does the game offer mutiplayer options? How does multiplayer work? How easy is it to find other players? How stable is the multiplayer gameplay? Are there multiplayer AND co-op options, do they work well? Many game modes? (Also for friend factor, I think if a game offers no multiplayer, we just remove this consideration from the review rather than give them a 0)
The JUMP-IN Factor:
How hard is it to learn this game?
Copy & Paste:
Game Title: XX
Platform: XX
Game Factor: XX/10
Look Factor: XX/10
Friend Factor: XX/10
Jump In Factor: XX/10
Average Score: XX/10
The Overall rating brackets:
9-10 = BUY IT NOW! Delete all others to make space!
6-8 = Add It To The Collection! You’ll enjoy it and probably play it more than once
3-5 = If It’s A Gift, Sure. (Buy it on sale. It’s good for a few hours of fun.)
0-2 = Uninstall / Refund / Gift to your enemies
Taking this into account, review away and enjoy!
