Well, let's get the review started, shall we?
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS):
- Seems to have no problems here. Pass.
- a (prose):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- All sources are reliable, no OR found. Pass.
- a (references):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- Gameplay, Development, Story, Reception... - Nothing's missing. I think the "Story" section could get a bit expended, though it isn't obligatory. Once again, Pass. Let's move on.
- a (major aspects):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars etc.:
- Seems pretty good.
- No edit wars etc.:
- It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- Maybe there could be an image of a developer (director/programmer...) added, though it isn't obligatory. Pass.
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):
- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
- All I have to say is: "What an article". Nice job, King, this is an absolute GA. PASS --Khanassassin (talk) 10:53, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- Pass/Fail:
- I actually don't agree with this review. The game play section is far from perfect (it actually seems to jump around a lot and doesn't quite focus on what the game play actually is) and the Story has a lot of OR. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 16:05, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- Plot references (there are a few in this article, enough) are typically recommended but not obligatory for Video game articles. The issue has been talked over many times on the Wikipedia:VG talk page, and that has been the consensus. --Khanassassin (talk) 16:31, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- I added an image to Development, and another ref to Plot. Yeah, Plot is short but this isn't a plot-based game (similar to Mario games). Gary King (talk · scripts) 05:17, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
