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.

Advantages of developing it just for console

LO2 Review Analyis Forza 5

The use of this second person address in this review has a great effect on the audience and the reader because it is a direct address and says what you can do in the game and what you cant do. it also says the negative and the positives and recommends you to try the thrilling game out with the quote " every one has history and a reason to admire it" the Forza review aims at the second person address because it aims at your needs and what you would like to do it also does this to make you feel special.

my favourite word in hole review would be forged as it states that they are a piece of art that has been made for beauty and to race the incredible tracks in the world.
The elements in this game which are being reviewed are
  • The cars are being reviewed the way they drive and move and how many there really is
  • The intro which Jeremy Clarkson talked in and compared the game to a the world of cars
  • Forzavista
  • Forza 4
  • The realistic settings and modes with in the game
  • The audio
  • The xbox one controller
  • Free play mode
The author is speaking to the audience with confidence and with a lot of detail.

I would buy this product based on this review because they gave me a deep description on what the game is all about and how you would play the game. it gave me negatives and positives and the game gave me recommendations so I can play them modes.

LO3- Sneak game

My target grade is MP
if you don't know what doodle jump is then you should. why? well this game is just a little fun game which is not expensive and can play for ages. this game is aimed at 4 year olds plus but mainly played on iPhone with teenagers just for a game when they wait for someone or something. it can be a distraction and become pretty addictive. a lot of people like these types of games because they like trying to beat there high score. oh no you died oh well start again and don't die this time.
this is one game that you might rage out on because you are way to indicted to the game.
Platforms
well this game is available on all touchpad item including DS, Ipad, IPhone and android product.
Positives

One positive of this game is that it is never ending so you can have fun and see how high you can get. The same monsters pop up and try and kill you because they want to make you fail. The game itself is good because it can be on tablets and phones also once you buy it will stay as one of your software. The positives of this game is that you can choose your own character because of the way they jump through the level. The game provides endless of fun and the game provides different of music. every season there is a new background with the same monsters but with a different theme. o for example winter the background is ice but for the monsters they are yeti and snow monsters. you can turn on snow mode. you can see your total play time and see the global score so you can compare yourself against others online so for example you switch it on and it will show lines for who you have passed from your friends list. you can switch on classic and full mode. this doesn't really do anything. you can turn the setting on and off. some tiles move out the way and replace themselves with thin air before you can jump on them. as you get higher into the levels the atmosphere changes so when you get a certain height then the atmosphere might change to the moon and space.

Improvements

The improvements I would give this game would be to have different game modes. The modes I can have is a timed mode then you can have a destroyer mode which you just get loads of aliens on you and you have to eat them. Another improvements we could make is to add new characters in the game. Another improvement will be to ad new backgrounds to the game. to improve the game even more you could include more sound and have the monsters to sound different so then when you change the background it will have different sounds for the monsters.  

Highlights

The way you can not get to the end of the mission. The way you can tap the monsters to get rid of them to make them run away and leave you alone when you try and get passed them with your bouncing. The different ways you can get boosted to send you flying in the air and don’t have to jump between the gaps. You can dodge different types of pads which break when you hit them so you have no option to hit another one. The rocket which you collect if you get a certain level and sends you flying as it helps you along. the way you can change the sound. the boost and power ups you can get with in the game are helicopter head, rocket, spring, shield, jet pack and trampoline. the aliens are different shapes and move around also the amount of pads that are available for you to hit.


Negatives

The negatives for this game is that it only has one mode and will do the same thing all the time.
the game has only one colour and one background and you fight the same monsters over and over again also you need to buy the game  for 0.79p but the trial is free which is rubbish because of the way it ends after you get to a certain level. As the trial is free then loads of pop ups will come up and the only way to get rid of it is to buy the game itself.

conclusion
Its not my decision for you to get this game but if you do you will not regret it but you will die on it. The game will cover time which you want to waste. Every one is competitive and always wants to beat there friends so why don't you try and do that. Its on android and apple and only 0.79p but if you just want to try the game out first the game trial is free to download which only takes a couple of minutes. millions in the world already plays doodle jump so go ahead and join them!

Overall opinion
I would give this game a rating 3.5 stars out of 5 as it does cover the audiences need but doesn't provide the best graphics also there could be more content on the game for the user. In m opinion I would love to play this as a kid as it is something different. Overall I would say this game is good and the target audience has been really thought about while making this game.
