How to write a game review


        Here is a simple way to write a good game review. I will go through the steps so you can become a good review writer. You will soon have fun writing game reviews as we do.

   The Opening. You can start this out by telling how the game works and looks. Do you like it? How does it feel? Are the controls good?

   The Meat. This is the main part of the review where you tell about a small part of the game. You can tell what the story was like and how you liked playing as the character.
   Gameplay. The Gameplay is an important part of a review because it shows how the game is played. It can tell about the controls and the graphics, and even the sound.
   Graphics. This is without doubt the easiest part of the review. Talking about the Graphics is simple. Just tell the reader if they were "Spectacular!" or "Totally Lifelike!" Or you can say they sucked! It depends on how you think about graphics.
   Sound. Well this is the part of the review where you talk about the sound. Is it good? Was it realistic? What was your view on the sound?
   Value. Is it worth buying, or a rent only? Does it have multiplayer? Tell about that!
   Fun. Was this a fun game? Was it addicting? Well, good!
   The Score. This is a tricky thing to find out. Sometimes I usually just feel what I should rate the game. You might not feel that way though. What I would do is I would lay out pros and cons about the game. For example if I was reviewing a racing game I would put;

+Good Controls
+Amazing Courses
+Good Graphics
-Bad Voice Acting
-Terrible Storyline

    So I would probably rate this game a 7.5/10.

Well that is the end of this tutorial; I hope you guys get a lot out of it!
