Review practice

The game review of Minecraft that we watched was:

• Entertaining - kept me interested

• Described features in interesting ways - didn't just list pros and cons

• Made it relatable - talked about his experiences, not just what he liked and disliked

1. Animal Crossing: Wild World

• Overall impression: good, but not new
• Compares it to the previous version of the game, from the Gameboy
• Criticism: Multiplayer mode has restrictions
• Final score: (rating from IGN) 8.8/10

2. The Sims 4

• Overall impression: fixes problems from Sims 3, but is less extensive in terms of what you can do
• Lots of comparisons to the Sims 3, as that is where it's supposed to be improving from
• Criticisms: no pools, very small world
• Final score: 7.5

3. Disney Infinity

• Overall impression: very exciting and creative, lots to explore
• Comparisons to games like Minecraft and LittleBigPlanet
• Criticisms: using the build tool is very tricky
• Final score: 8.7/10
