Review Rules 1

Following on from my lecture on FF7, I follow on with a continuing feature for the next few contributions. I will take all of the FF series, and review them each on the following criteria, in order to have comparison. Note that on certain categories, respect must be given to the differing technological levels of the various consoles involved. The criteria are as follows:
Graphics: Self explanatory, how good does the game look – e.g. characters, backgrounds, CGI’s.
Gameplay: How well does the game play? Are the controls easy to understand, are the cameras well placed, and so on…
Story: How well does the story grip you? Does it take to that gaming nirvana, where all becomes non-existent for long periods of time.
Longevity: How long does the game last? Can it be re-played again with a similar level of excitement? Side-quests, secret bosses…
Originality: What has it added to the series, and to RPG’s in general? Features that you wouldn’t have thought of that are fantastic…
Final Score: Rated out of 50, total accumulated from marks out of 10 for each category. Final score can be tipped up or down by up to 3 points, for extra features etc.

First review to follow soon :)
