LO1-5 game

Sneak mobile phone

Childs Puzzle game

This genre belongs to kids aged at 4 to 8 years old The game will always be the same concept but the way the monsters change when choosing different bait will be different.Not many games like it a new idea and good potential to make another or improve the game. It’s different and very original.

There is a monster what wants bait however you want to take a photo of this monster and the monster can detect you as soon as he realizes you are sneaking up to it a sound or it seeing you means that it can fled the scene and remain safe to your camera. The aim of the game is to sneak up to the monster then take the photo without it realizing. There is 5 monsters and you have to complete all levels. Easy, medium, hard when you get a monster you get new bait which means more monsters. This story makes me more interested in what you could do next to improve the game and story. So every time you get the game wrong it changes the way you would approach the game in different ways. As the story is fun and creative and bright and colourful kids love that in a game and it is interactive.

This game was produced on a mobile device. It was enhance by the phone you can play with it. The elements that make this gam good is the improved gameplay and sensitive movement. When you move your device then it will change direction another one is when the device can here you.

There many types of monsters they come in every shape or form and they are fun and different which makes it good for children because they like wacky things and cool shapes they are smiley monsters so they will like the monster and not be afraid of the monster. The game is called sneak now it’s all about monsters but you need to solve a puzzle the monster who are the characters there objective it to stop you from getting a photo.

I think that the characters are strong however they could be improved and the character will get a bit boring after a while of playing the game so the characters movements could change so the kid playing it doesn’t know what to expect. The characters are easy and very simple for kids to understand and could make the game better over time.


As the game is called sneak the challenge is to sneak up and take a picture of a monster who has taken the bait however the you have many different types of monsters and different levels the harder the level the better game characters and props you unlock. If you want to have the best monsters and the best bait you need to play it on hard mode this gives the player a better sense of achievement wen completed the level and gives the player a reward after the level is completed. This makes the player try harder however the game also teaches to never give up and gives kids hand eye coordination skills. The elements to look out for is the touch screen technology without that you cannot play the game also another key element is that you can improve this game a lot even though it is already a good game. Another key thing is that the characters are always changing and get well known so they can help the game get popular. The gameplay its self could be a good element and make the kid have to chase the monster if it gets away by tapping the screen as fast as you can.
The gameplay engages with the narrative because the narrative gives the kid an understanding of when to go and take the photo also gives the kid a good understanding of how to time it right. The narrative tells the kid instructions on how to play the game in the first place. As you past a level the game is evolving by giving you knew bait and new monsters however when you complete all the free monsters there is a chance you can buy to play more so the kid can have bundles of fun.
The target audience of this game is 4 to 8 years old of age however the thing is that the company needs to think about is if it looks safe so the parents will buy the game for their child so the child does not do things bad just to copy the game. This game is aimed at children because it is bright colourful and very easy to operate this makes it good for the child to use also the game has elements that can help the child learn from. Like how to listen, how to follow instructions.
The appearance of this game is very bold and very attractive this make the kid have more fun.
This game is good it is very original and very unique however I think that a version like this has been on the market but with a different concept and different story line. It does compete well though because it has a good story line and the kids love a good challenge.
This game is for more touch screen phone based as it can be downloaded on IOS and Android so it is available for the Samsung.
It can be converted over to tablet but you need to download it as a phone app.
The game is suited for touch screen phone as it is simple for the adult to get out if the child is bored.
This game is suited to this platform because many of these adults have touchscreens which does mean they can have it if there child is young. He game is suited by using app based game.

assassin creed black flag xbox one

Assassin Creed is all about action but adventure with some romance in it and puzzles. The genre belongs to anybody over the age of 12 and upwards many different ages like this game because it’s not the same story line all the time an always adds many more features.The game will always be different and have man different places because all the other games are put into a different tome zone and year.The game always stays In third person view however it is better than many other games because it has many activities to do and the online servers are not that bad.

Captain Kenway is a pirate who goes through rough seas to reach certain destination and to kill the enemy Templars to get the information he needs to seek the temple. As he goes through the story there are plenty of side activities. The aim of the game is to complete all of the gameplay and to go online and try and get the best score you can get against other online competitors. My effect to the character is that I think he is a strong individual who is trying t raise money to find his way back home for his love. I think that the character is cool because he has many different styles. The game strategy doesn’t change because it is a story line however the user of the controllers can approach the enemy in many different ways using different tools and certain attacks and moves.

The game was produced by Ubisoft. The elements that have been improved when online as they are more game modes. The game physics and mechanics have been made to enhance the gameplay because of there is new modes also new moves you can do with in the game.

There are many types of characters in the story line and after the story line which makes it good for the user because they get to meet all the characters and find out what they are all about. The characters online have descriptions talking about themselves so you can learn about their story and why they are in this position. The characters have many types of looks and they appeal to the target audience because they do look lie pirates. There is one pirate that everybody knows and that’s captain Black Beard. He appears in the story line but dies later on which has emotions for the target audience.The characterisation is very strong in this games because they are pirates and all the game includes the best features of pirates but as the pirate only does the same moves there is a chance that you can create some new moves for the game.

You get a small boat called the jackdaw at the start of the game and you have to travel to certain places to complete certain missions however there is always something in the way or something you have to do to complete the mission. The game has levels and cheats you can apply so when you want to fight difficult enemies you can but the difficulty to hard and then try your best to survive. You can put cheats on so you are fast or very strong. The more you do in the game the more percentage you complete and when you compete the whole game you can get and achievements on Uplay and unlock certain outfits. The appearance of Captain Kenway can change any time if you want all you have to do is buy or craft the outfit the weapons are available in the shops to buy with royals you collect in the game or weapons you can unlock by doing a challenge. The level of this game makes me struggle and can be confusing when doing certain activities but the fighting can get repetitive. The levels of this game can make it really interesting sometimes because you might not have the right equipment to be able to complete the challenge. It helps the player engage because the user wants to win the challenge but just have to wait in the future like for the legend ships you have to approach the game in different ways however you need to have the right weapons and strength to defeat the legend ship. The challenges of the game are key because without them then you won’t have anything to do after you finished the game. The character is key because he always has to have emotions and different movements to keep the user interested. The mission are something that he user wants to complete straight away because they want to complete the game fast. There isn’t much narrative in this game however when there is it just tells you what to do so you can complete the mission. The only gameplay what evolves is only the online as you cannot change anything in the story but the online changes by adding new maps having new characters new moves and new skins.

The target audience is 12 an above because the game does involves violence, swearing and inappropriate women on the streets of the game. The producers need to think about if that is the right age to promote the game if that is the right description because when I played the game the language wasn’t that bad and there is no inappropriate woman on it really. However I do think that the age is ok because some people do get influenced by the game. The game is a complicated story which will suggest that it isn’t for children that will not understand the game story and why they are doing all this. The game is amazing compared to the other games as it has so many features and is so original.

This game is played on console but can be played on portable gaming devices like the PSP and the consoles are all of them including Xbox and PS4 and even WII. This game is based on these platforms because it is a big game to download however on the game for the portable gaming devices it doesn’t have all the features like the one on consoles.The game is suited for the console because it is completely finished and produced.This game is suited for consoles because it needs a big hard drive to download however it is used on PC but it is not as good. Consoles have the best servers connected to it.

NBA 2K16 xbox one

This game is currently a sports genre as it is basketball.The genre of this game is sports.The style of the game will always be the same concept.As NBA is the largest and the best maker for basketball games I would say that no one has tried to challenge them to make a better game than them. This game is the best out with the new updated information.

The game as many modes one is tory mode or my career the story is of a young man called Freq he has an opportunity to be a big time player in the NBA you have to work through and become good t get to the high standard however the story changes with his friend Vic as he dies. The story informs the gameplay because Freq is a young man who wants to play basketball and to play the game you have to be the character to play basketball. With this game your character is customized in many ways and everybody’s character is different. As Freq is the main star in NBA as he gets older my thought and feeling will be that the character has gone through a lot to get to where he is now. The target audience for this game will be any age but mainly male as there is in female game. The story wouldn’t really effect the audience as all they want to do is upgrade my pro.

The characters are relevant to the target audience because they are mostly male. As the character can be any shape or size and they can make their own character so there character can relate to the audience. As the character can have different skin colours it seems to me that it would relate to the audience also the clothes can relate to the audience as you can have formal and informal. The characters are all very sporty and slim but muscly as they are all NBA players this represents the genre because the game is very activity related. I think the characters are very strong because it I your own creation with in this game.

The production process will be made my 2K this is a producer which works with EA. The way you can create your own character as it depends if you are good at the game. The game physics imitate your movement when on Kinect it can copy your facial features and make your character look like you the mechanics create the game to be more fun because the game allows you to do fun movements.

This game is a sports game and has many challenges one good challenge that it brings is the play mode which makes you play other teams with your favourite team and will get harder if you play a hard team you played. Another challenge is to have the best pro in the game so for example your character you create has to level up really high to be able to beat other online players. The game does not have different levels only if you play my career this is when the other players are at your standard and are as good as you they will be better than you in many matches. The level depends on how good of a team you play. The career mode is the main mode everyone plays but there is also a mode where you can play in my park and be against many other online players. This is a good mode to have. Another key element that this game has is the mode where you can do one on one against star player of your choice. It also let you know about your favourite team and how they are doing in the table and the cups. The gameplay is all just basketball but Freq the star he has to become a star player in the NBA. That is the narratives. The game doesn’t really change much but the player does so you can do new moves and special moves to keep the player interested, the player wants to make there pro look good by getting coins to upgrade him.

The target audience is anyone who like basketball but mainly teenagers. Nearly all of the characters for the game are male which shows that mainly the audience is male.The game appeals to the target audience because it is sporty and mainly people who pay this game will like sport.This game is exactly the same as the game before just with a different story line to it. The game is better than most sport games because of the graphics and the way they have the characters and famous stars in it also it has more mode than other games.

This game is currently on PS4 and Xbox one and PS3 and Xbox 360This game is suited for both of the platforms The game is suited to the platforms because of the way the game plays and how the buttons work it needs a controller for the game.

state of decay  PC

This game is a shooting adventure game and action.This game belongs to and adventure genre and shooting action.The game is a zombie game it has a stylistic convection is that you can have many different characters.Compared to the other games which do the same genre this game is not that bad but isn’t the best as it has bad graphic and the other bad thing is the server.

The storyline throughout this game is not that bad as the world has been attacked by a disease but only one area has been infected and you are stuck in this area and your objective is to get out of the area without losing many people in the process. The story line is getting away from the zombies and the gameplay is just about killing the zombies.  As the story is really long you get to meet plenty of characters in the story some of the characters are bad and some are good but I do think that’s some do drag the story down a lot. The story doesn’t really connect to the target audience however at the end one main character does die at the end and it is pretty emotional.

This was made by Ubisoft also one of the first game made by trinity ward this is made by using coding but first need to make loads of characters so the game will have characters. Some of the element used to improve this game is made because there is more types of zombies. The physics have been done to make the characters move in a certain way I also like the way they have made the characters act very different when getting hurt.

The characters aren’t relevant to the target audience as there is many different ages but one character does act really scared now this is what you might act like if you were in this situation. In my game there are many good looking girls and a male audience will like the girls. The characters wear really scruffy clothes because of the apocalyptic atmosphere also some characters are really tough and not scared these characters are the brave and survive most attacks. I feel that these characters are very weak and not strong at all they do not make the player worry about the player. This game is rubbish wen having characters because it only has on season.

It does not have many challenges but it does challenge you when you have different types of zombies against you. The more zombies against you the harder it is the game has many features which I do like on feature I like is the fact that the zombies can do damage to the car also you can run out of fuel also the zombies will react different to the way you act as a player. There are three types of levels easy, medium and hard the only thing different is here is more zombies and the zombies are harder to kill and it is harder to survive as you can’t find food as easy. I think that the elements that are good with this game is that the game is the only one and it’s the only game they will make another thing is the different types of missions you can do another one is the base you can make a really good base in the game with good protection. The game does not really engage with the narrative but some of the zombies do talk. The game is not evolving at all.

The target audience for this game is 18+ as this game as sexual content and violent language. This game is very gory as it has zombies and eating human flesh and body parts flying off when you die.The game appeals for the target audience because it has zombies and blood in the game. The game cover shows that the game is clearly for over 18 but the game warns that there is a lot of gory moments.This game is not that good compared to other zombie games as it is old and not updated. This games does not get as much popularity as the other games as they did not use promotional techniques.

This game is available on Xbox 0ne, PS4 and PC. I would say that it is better suited for Xbox one as the game is better when played with a controller. This game is more suited for this platform because there is more options when on the Xbox one and it is easier to control.

doodle jump mobile phone

This game is a kid’s adventure game and could be played by any people really.The genre of this game is adventure because of the paces you go also it could be an action as it involve you shooting many aliens out of the sky.The convention of this game is a little space alien trying to reach the moon. On his own. This game is a strong game and makes other games look rubbish this game is small and simple but very easy for a little kid to watch.

There is no story really throughout this game because it is an arcade game. The game is all about a little alien called Doodle. He tries to reach the moon but bad aliens are trying to stop him. The story just tells us that he is a little alien and with your help and moving the mobile to the direction you want him to go. The story doesn’t really have an effect on me as a player but I do feel sorry for his legs as they are always moving. The story has no connection to the audience but the little alien is very cartoony and very fun for the little kids.

This game was made by Lipton this company has made many games in the past. They have made elements that make the game stand out. The elements that they have done is only small bit but make the game really good one is the moving platforms and the disappearing platforms. The physics have been made to look very good as gameplay is very smooth and switching from one world to another is very good in this gameplay.

The aliens is colourful and funny it has many different sounds which help the audience have fun when on the game. The characters have themes so for what time it is in the year they do this to get more interest in the game. The character is fun and very childish this is good for a kid because they wouldn’t find the character scary. The character suits the game style and the way the game looks. I think that the characters are very strong with in this game as he is the only one the best thing about this game is that his look changes all the time and this gives him a strong representation.

The challenge is to see how high you can get and if you get higher than other people so for example the higher you go the harder it gets for the player, this is because there are less platforms for you jump on and more monsters to fight. You don’t really get to choose how hard it is but the main aspect is that it gets harder the higher you go. I think that the game in the way it is formed is a good example of this.  This game is difficult to carry on. The look of the game. The gameplay just is the story really you get high in the sky if you fail then you fail but usually it takes some time to die it depends on how good you are at the game. The gameplay is changing as the way the character looks for example Doodle is always changing depending on the time of the year.

The target audience for this game is mostly kids but the game is played by teenager because it get the competitive side out and makes them go against each other to win. The way the game look shows that the game is made for this target audience as it is really fictional. This would appeal for the target audience because the colours used in this game relate to the target audience.This game is really good compared to the other games which have the same target audience. The game is very different as it is a new idea and an idea with potential to make more or even improve.

This game Is available for IOS, Android   and this game is available on all portable devices what are touchscreen like tablets and mobile phones. The game is suited for mobile phones more because it has the ability to be played anywhere.

LO1-Sumo digital research

I got all this information from Sumo Digital website

Structure of sumo digital

This is the structure of sumo digital this is who runs the company and who has the most power over the other workers. Carl Caver is the CEO of the company which means he needs to be responsible for a; of them below him he found the company in 2003 an now the company is a well-known one for doing amazing digital games. This is the structure table the higher you are the more responsibilities you take on and more work you have to do. It also gives us a indication of who gets paid more money because if the person is higher and has more people below them then they usually get more money.

The structure of sumo digital is strong and very committed they have experts in every background and are very dedicate to give the customers there best quality content. The structure has to work together and all have to flow because if one person doesn’t do his job the person above him will have to do it. It all need to flow because everyone gets a project and if all the projects are completed then it will all go smoothly. The planning is like the foundations for the game. A good idea makes a strong foundation and can have a lot of improvement towards the game. Paul Porter also the COO so he’s above Daren Mills.

Platform technology

The platform technology is very important because the more platforms they can get the more games they can make and more games they can sell. The wider the target audience the more revenue for the company they specifically go for more consoles as Sumo Digital is the only company in the world to produce games for the PlayStation and the Xbox. They create games for phones and tablets but they are more app based games. Sumo digital does make games for android which can cover the likes of Samsung phones and many other phones which use android also they do make them for IOS which is for more Apple product like IPod, IPhone and IPad this makes sumo digital able to have customers from android and IOS. I had to do some research and I found out that sumo digital do make games for Microsoft window and Blackberry also Nintendo which I didn’t know but this makes the liable to reach out the gamers on PC and Nintendo WII. Sumo digital like to keep updated so they make games that are only on next generation so they can keep up to their competitors and compete for the best games of the year. This does mean that they will only do games for Xbox One and PS4. The more platforms they can use the more revenue the company receives.
Platform Technology
I visited this site on the 28th of September 2015 2:52pm his gave me information abut the website and what it does for customers
http://www.sumo-digital.com/#
this website helped me understand the platforms they use as a games company and what platforms they can upload there game on.
I looked into sumo digital and what games they have made. They have made the games like forza 2 and little big planet  3 the platforms they use Xbox 360 for forza 2 and little big planet is mainly played on PlayStation.
they make games just for Xbox one like Xbox fitness this is the only platform they make this game on however you do need a Xbox Kinect to use this game and to activate loads of the moves.
Driver 76 is only made for PSP in 2007

Game types

The game type is very important to get right especially at this moment at time because if you do not bring out the right content out you can’t get the right amount of customers and can’t make profit. If people want sport it needs to be a game what is sport related. There are many game types and many people like different types so more you do the better it will be for the company.

some of the game types that sumo are very committed are action and adventure and kids cartoon games.

Technology

• Arcade games
• Computer games
• Online games
• Console games
• Handheld games
• Mobile games

Genre

• Action-Adventure games
• Plat forming games
• Alternate reality games
• Sports games
• Casual games
• Escape games
• Minigames
• Flash games
• Narrative games
• First person shooter games
• Third person shooter games
• Role-playing Games
• Medieval games

These all give the customers a bigger variety for them so they can pick what they fancy. So they can enjoy there gaming. Sumo digital do a lot of types of games.

Multi-platform

Sumo digital do the same games for Xbox and PC this is called multi-platform this means they make a game for one console and then its available on different devices this makes it available for many more people. The benefits of this is that sumo digital can promote their games on more than one device. The problem with games now is the barrier that prevents two people who buy the same game, with the same features, made by the same developer and publisher, for the same price, from playing with or against each other simply because they're on competing platforms. It exists for no real reason, other than that Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo feel the need to guard their walled-garden ecosystems. It’s a shame that walled-off, platform-specific online systems are still accepted as the norm in 2015, and that platform owners show no signs of movement toward a system for open, cross-platform play, even as online gaming becomes more than ever. Sumo Digital are the only company which do PS4 and Xbox for the same game so they have it in two devices and can make more moves forward than there competitors.

Regulatory bodies

PEGI is the number on a games review to show the customer what age should actually be playing this game and what the game content is all about. Most of Sumo Digital makes racing and fictional games which are not a high rating however they put it on the case or review to give the customer an idea of who the game is for.

A regulatory agency (also regulatory authority, regulatory body or regulator) is a public authority or government agency responsible for exercising autonomous authority over some area of human activity in a regulatory or supervisory capacity.

Developments Software

As the games get produce Sumo digital needs clients to help them get the game out in the first place they have clients like EA, Ubisoft, Konami, Activision, BBC, SEGA, Microsoft studios, Disney interactive studios, Sony online these all help the software be developed. They code all the games as it should be but this software they use is really high tech what is really complicated. The development process for one of these games takes a long time to make like little big planet it takes a long time because they have to find new ways to improve the game and add new features when on the game.

Dave is 1 of 3 art managers

The company has been around since 2003 when sumo was a part of gremlin graphics but gremlin graphics was bought by another company. Sumo digital has done really well and now has 220 employees because in 2005 there was only 56 employees as Dave joined sumo digital in 2005. They have 40 employees in puma India.

Sumo digital has licensed development for all platform including Xbox One and PS4. Since 2003 they have made 50 game plus. One of the games they was really successful is little big planet three. They won an award for the game. As sumo digital is a small company surprisingly they have a high metacritique score this means they have successful games. Sumo was the first western developer to get an arcade game on console. Saga came to sumo to get an idea for a new game with well-known characters. They developed for the Kinect when it came out. As sumo digital has amazing ideas they are making everything for Disney 3.0 this means they make the likes of the characters and the race tracks for the game and will make some more in the future for Pixar. They made Forza two and worked with turn 10 to make the game for Xbox 360. As Sony passed over the rights to sumo to make little big planet they let the world know so then sumo will be recognized when the new game comes out. As sumo has the rights for little big planet they added many new and interesting features to the game to make it more enjoyable. Sumo is showcasing on multiple screen gameplay. Sumo made two versions of All Stars. As sumo makes games for many platforms they said that it takes more effort to make a game for the mobile app than console.  They used superstars from American fitness tracks to get people to buy it also to get the best content. They also used their moves from their own tracks to create a great exercise game.

The roles in the games industry.

Concept artist, takes the content of the game designs documents, and visualizes it into ‘concept art’. This relates the needs good art skills to draw the characters.

Character art, they make the characters for the game, they have many tools like 3d studio macs and use many other 3D software. There must be enough detail in the drawings for the game to get realistic character.

Environment artist, these people explore many places and different surfaces for the games background also they will include it into the game.

Animator, they can make the character move and give the life, they have more freedom if in a movie but if in a game they have to work on each movement for each button which takes a long time.

Graphic art, typography and fonts and chines characters. The design of the home page and the user interface.

Technical artist, they will right the scripts and will make the base for the design like the bone for a character shades to edit the surface of the character.

VFX artist, they create the special effects for the game so with out them the game would not look as good and wouldn’t be interesting.

Lead Artist, this is an early layer of management, they do all the prep work and will find or pick out the best images for their game and create the game ideas before they even start making the game.

Level designer, builds up the levels for the game and gives the other employees a base for their game. They will position object for the game for example like parts in a room.

LO2 notes watch dog

The review from the magazine on watch dog
In the magazine it says the game came out into the public eyes in 2012 and was given a release date for 2014 as the game is new to the public eyes the magazine gave a description on the game and how it was made and who is in the story line(Aiden Pearce)
The genre they give is an action game and a game based on puzzles and solving computer systems.
It is based in the city of Chicago and it is all about the way he uses different ways of hacking to beat his opponent.
The game has the target audience for teenagers and above so 12 and above it is based around this age because of the content in the game.
The narrative in this magazine says that the game is about "  one man and he has to be against the city criminals." The bad guys in the game have got his niece and he is out to find her. he finds that vengeance is an excuse for his action which includes him hacking in to pieces of software to get places. You the gamer gets to pick the path you choose to do so you can attack the criminals.
The main character for this game is the man who you play all the time he is called Aiden Pearce and he has the ability to hack any camera or computer just using his phone.
the gameplay includes other online players going into each other games and talking to each and completing games with each other to make the mission easier for the other players also you can hack other peoples data from their mobile but you have to be in a position of sight the magazine explains that the game is all about who has the best skill. the main aim of the gameplay is to hack into a piece of hardware and abuse the software. you will face corrupt cops but not all of them are bad. you can steal other peoples data from there phones using your data.
the main platforms they are based on are consoles however it can be played on PC and portable devices like PS Vita and DS.it does not have an app based platform but it does have app which you can communicate people on who are on the game like Call Off Duty Clans.
the magazine recommends you to try and hack other hackers to find the data for who stole your phone years ago also it tells you to get the best weapons before trying to perform certain moves against certain enemies.
The games review for Watch Dog online
They describe the genre to be fun and action but with more puzzles
They said that the target audience is just right for the amount of work you actually get through out the game and what is in the game it does not contain much strong language but does have violence and blood in it.
The online video only gives me a short brief on what the game is about and what movements you can go through the game however it does tell you that you can work in teams online an there are many side mission but the story line is reasonably a good length for the gamer the video also told me that you can go online and do races against others and receive rewards for doing however the video did say that there is one problem and that is the game gets a little bit repetitive and can freeze when loading some missions.
The video gives more explanation when showing the characters and says what type of characters you will meet like , thug, smart, fixer and casual but you will also meet some girls which the magazine did not talk about. and who Aiden Pearce is
The video tells us on what you can do for hacking and specific things you can do also the video tells you about the city you are based on however the criminals are not that good. you have good activities like the spider rampage is a good recommendation. also you can hack into any camera.
it mentions only one platform it is available for like the Ipad so you can do one of the missions.
they recommend you to try driving into things and trying to fight criminals using different ways of hacking. it also gives you a rating which is 4.5 .
Comparison
There isn't much difference with these two types of reviews however the other one is in more in depth than the other. the video gives more of an explanation about the gameplay and what type of character an there personality in the game. The video also tells me more specifically what I can do in t game and what types of weapons I should try out and what I should do with in the game more. the magazine gives some of the same points like who are the characters and where the city is based however the video does say the same points but in a more of description.

Report for the game I have chosen to analyse using two types of reviews

I have looked into two reviews on Watch Dogs and one is in a magazine and one is a review on a video for YouTube. These talk about many similar things, but also have many differences. One of the most similar things they talk about is the characters in the game and who they are but the video review goes into more detail about a character called Aiden Pearce. They both talk about Aiden Pearce and the magazine just says a bit about how he is dressed and who he really is and what he does and why he does it. The magazine says that Aiden Pearce “has lost his niece and trying to find her by going against many criminals on the streets of Chicago” the video says this but talks about how the character reacts and how he “treats other people as his equal” but “doesn’t trust anybody” after his lost and he became “mysterious” after he lost his niece. The video talks about other characters that the magazine does not talk about and says what type of characters there are in the game and says that there are “thugs, fixer, smart and casual” and it says that there is girls in it as main characters which is a thing that the magazine does not show. The magazine says that the gam idea was released in 2012 and it came out to the public’s eyes then and the video does not say anything about that.  The magazine says that the story is “about one man called Aiden Pearce losing his niece and trying to find her by using his skills in technology and by hacking other people’s data”. The video talks about the night life it gives you and all the new missions you can do and side activities also it tells us who he is after and how he is going to find them so he can get his niece back. The video says that the story line “has many twist and turns” the video gives the same description the magazine does. The video doesn’t show us a target age but says that the game could be aimed at 12 and above. The magazine has the PEGI on it and the gam I rated 15 this just shows that the gameplay on the video and the person who reviewed it thinks that the game shouldn’t have that rating on it and should have a 12 PEGI rating. They both indicate that the game is an action puzzle game and has a bit of romance in it between the girl and Aiden Pearce. The narrative in this magazine tells us that the game is about one man and he has to be against the city criminals. The bad guys in the game have got his niece and he is out to find her. He finds that vengeance is an excuse for his action which includes him hacking in to pieces of software to get places. The video says that you get to pick the path you choose to do so you can attack the criminals. The videos narrative is exactly the same but I think that the magazine has it in better content. The gameplay includes other online players going into each other games and talking to each and completing games with each other to make the mission easier for the other players also you can hack other people’s data from their mobile but you have to be in a position of sight the magazine explains that the game is all about who has the best skill. The main aim of the gameplay is to hack into a piece of hardware and abuse the software. You will face corrupt cops but not all of them are bad. You can steal other people’s data from their phones using your data. The video says some of the thing that you can do with the phone and says that you can hack cameras, cars, Barriers, doors and banks. The platforms they describe are both the same however the video does say that you can use an iPad for a mission but both of the reviews do say that they are played on portable devices like a PS Vita and DS but mostly played on the consoles. The recommendation for the video does go into more description and recommends you to try the spider rampage and take other people data by your phone. The video also gives a rating of 4.5 stars. The magazine just says the same thig really but without the spider rampage but it does ask you to try online racers. The video does show this but doesn’t talk about it. Overall there isn't much difference with these two types of reviews however the other one is in more in depth than the other. The video gives more of an explanation about the gameplay and what type of character an there personality in the game. The video also tells me more specifically what I can do in t game and what types of weapons I should try out and what I should do with in the game more. the magazine gives some of the same points like who are the characters and where the city is based however the video does say the same points but in a more of description.
