Secondly, you should write professionally. Remember, this isn’t a forum, you’re a reviewer, people listen to what you have to say. They want your opinion to decide whether to buy a game or not. The following sounds quite halfhearted:

“Although this can be a fun game, there are a lot of bugs in multiplayer mode (and a few in single player) that ruin the gameplay! The developers make new patches every day! So, be prepared for some glitches and crashes.”

It sounds more like something somebody on a forum would say, not what you’d hear in a review, understand? Use your vocabulary. There’s an entire language out there for you to use, don’t be scared to use words that makes your review sound fancy or pompous.

Then, thirdly, the following extract:

“The games mechanics use a variety of keys. These keys control your element powers and you can combine up to 5 powers to make a spell.”

That’s pretty much the selling point of the game, yet it’s compressed into a single, teeny tiny paragraph. Seeing as this is what the game is built around, it deserves about half the review, at the least, two sentences are not nearly enough. I couldn’t gather your opinion on how well this magic system works at all, and that’s why I wanted to read the review, so you understand why this is a bad thing? Give credit to the parts of a game that deserves it, and allocate enough space to them.

Then lastly, the last part of the review feels rushed. I can understand it can get really tiresome when writing for long times at a time, but never rush anything. know it’s tempting to finish smething as soon as possible just to get it online, but rushing it is the worst thing you can do. You can spot when something was written in a rush almost immediately. Rather save the part you’ve written, and come back and finish it up later.

I think you’re right though. I think I’ll give Black Ops a full run through and do a formal review.

I do have an issue with shortness of Campaign but believe me, Black Ops was much more satisfying then FFXIII. I played XIII and its basically the most confusing, nonsensical, padded out, bore of a game. I’d rather have a short and sweet game like Black Ops then a dull Final Fantasy.

Yeah MW2 was broken as all hell, which is why I’m being very cautious with Black Ops.

Here at World Spinner we are debating the same thing……
