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 thin 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.
