@Andrzejbanas:

Six GA Criteria

[edit]

1. Article is well-written. Very minimal mistakes if any at all.

2. No OR, all info is cited in the article.

3. Coverage is broad in depth and focus. Shows multiple aspects of the game and its development.

4. Article appears neutral, and does not appear to hold a significantly negative nor positive stance on the subject.

5. Article appears stable. Does not appear to have had any major vandalism occur.

6. The article uses two fair use images with proper rationale.

Lead

[edit]

-Does AllGame need italics?

-Why these three sources specifically? Wouldn't it be more concise just to say "retrospective critical reviews have been more positive" or something similar?

Plot

[edit]

-The plot is a bit confusing since I don't know if the Yars are protagonists or antagonists here. It should be clarified if this backstory is in the game itself or not as well, given a lot of this info tends to be in manuals and the like from this time period.

Gameplay

[edit]

-"and cannot operate fire commands when within it." I'd reword to "cannot fire their weapon within it" for clarity.

-I'm a bit confused how this whole "cell" system works. They are apparently part of the shield, but then also act as items you can "eat"? Does eating just mean hovering over it? Clarify this a bit.

Development

[edit]

-Looks good

Promotion and release

[edit]

-Looks good

Reception

[edit]

-"on the comics book inclusion," re-word to "comic book's"

-What is "Video Games?" It's a pretty generic name, so I'd clarify what it is. A magazine? A book? A newspaper column?

-"that would grate on people's nerves" I would just change this to either "get on people's nerves" or "grate people's ears" or something similar

Legacy

[edit]

-Looks good

Overall

[edit]

Looks pretty solid. Just clear up the above and this should be good to go. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 13:00, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
