Ratchet & Clank:TOD (my first mini review)

[Kresnik]

Just my personal feedback on this review, don't take it too personally if you don't like what I'm saying:

It was pretty decent, but I think you went too methodically through it. Rather than breaking it up and having a section-by-section breakdown of your feedback on the game, I think it would benefit more from having you flow organically from point to point.

So for example, you start off saying how the graphics are great and how everything stays smooth even when there's a lot of stuff going on on screen. This would lead perfectly into starting to describe the gameplay, how it can get hectic at times and it'll take a while to get used to shooting/jumping/avoiding shots, rather than just lumping it under the sub-title "gameplay", if you get what I'm saying?

I also feel like you could do to be a bit more concise with some of your points. You mention the weapon system being "okay" - that's fine, I've heard similar criticism from Gamespot in their review. But you kind of get lost in all these different points about the upgrading system causing you to stick with some weapons, later weapons being useless, some weapons being tricky to use. I think you might need to just plan a little ahead so that you don't make the same point multiple times and get your message across a little more clearly. (Side note: Mr. Zurkon is the most useful weapon in the game imo! I always have him out by my side to help with firepower :P)

Also, spelling & grammar. It's just worth running the whole thing through a spell-check and getting someone to proof read it.

Please don't take all this criticism as me suggesting it was a bad review though, I enjoyed reading it, just thought these things could help you improve your next review. Especially if you get around to reviewing "A Crack in Time" next, which is the best game in the series imo! :P
