That was actually pretty professional. The editing rivals that of big name reviewers.
You could use a better splash screen, but I'm sure a quick trip to photoshop will fix that.

Great work, especially for a first review.

I also watched your review in German, that was rather good as well, and I'm sure having bilingual reviews will help your views significantly.

Subscribed. It appears your German review is already quite popular.

Yeah well, Tana told me that as well.
I dont like having nothing at all at the end so i was thinking about... something like...

where you have these 10 categories


> splendid graphics
> (some word) sound design
> innovative gameplay
> fun online modes
> playable for the entire family
> challenging for hardcore-gamers
> long-lasting gaming experience
> excellent controles
> annoying bugs
> I DONT HAVE A GOD DAMN TENTH OPTION, GOD DAMN IT. I'M THINKING. TOO DAMN TIRED RIGHT NOW.

and then if something applies to a game, it like shines or something.


What do you think?

What do you think?
I think you should talk about the game, what it offers and your experience, then let the viewers decide whether to buy it or not... like Yahtzee

I recorded, edited, wrote and translated it - tana perfected the script and did the english voice-over.

Kyo was also responsible for the footage and the editing, he also wrote the base script and voiced the German version. I edited the script a bit to eliminate Kyo's bad grammar and voiced the English version. So I simply lent a hand.

I dont want to have a 'personal opinion' in my review.
I want to review the games like an actual critic thats actually rating the quality of the product.
If it would go after 'my opinion', this game would get a 9/10 from me.
But if i go by the 'quality' of the title, the actual content and how its delivered - this game definitely aint a 9/10.

Know what i mean?
Its what big-name critics should do, unfortunately companies like IGN simpy have an Editor shouting out their own opinion, which is why theirs scores are so inconsistent.

Or lets take GameTrailers - they gave Sonic Unleashed a 7/10 based on its actual quality - however, if you go by their personal opinion, they think its complete bullshit.

Know what i mean?

I can certainly find one similarity between your review and Gametrailers...the synopsis.

does it smash the competition or simply crash and burn?

Haha. Yes, i was quite inspired by gametrailers - and actually classicgameroom as well.
I have been following GT ever since i found out how much magic lies behind that shiny blue internet explorer logo.
