I didn't really use a particular layout as i felt it wasn't meant to be fancy just a simple review on a game to make it easy for people to read, although i did do paragraphs for different areas of the game. Not particulary as it would just be a page where people would see what it was about and if already purchased previous games of the series or have an interest or heard of the game through word of mouth might be interested in reading on. I think ive sounded really enthuasiastic about Pro Evolution Soccer 3 and have said even in the parts i have put as negative that it is still worth buying and are only small hitches and said that the game is the best football game ever to be brought out so have sounded fully in support of the game and also strongly pursuading people to buy it.
It is possible to write a review focusing on the negative aspects as many critics have to do as you just have to say what you feel about whatever you are reviewing, if you feel that it hasn't got many positive aspects there's not much you can put for positive and should write on how you feel about the game.
I feel i have used a persuasive style in my review as i am constantly backed the game and also used an exaggerated style to make people want to get the game more.
I saw on the internet what other people thought of the game but i already knew it was held in high regard as now it has gone onto Pro Evolution 5 and all games have been an improvement but all very highly rated, and knew that the opinion of the game would be high.
I think i sound knowledgeable about the subject as i say much about different aspects of the game and go into quite graphic detail on all subject matters of the game.
I never really made any other comparisons to other games as i feel it should just really concentrate on the game in hand instead of going on about or saying how poor another game is. I feel i justified the star rating as i gave 10/10 in my first draft, which i thought should be merited because it was the best game out of that genre of the time and was more than expected of the release. In the final draft of the review i changed this to a 9/10 rating as i then felt something cannot be perfect and there can also be improvements anywhere in games or life and also said negative aspects of the game so it cant really be a 10/10.
To conclude i feel i brought the game justice in most areas and was fair in all judgements, I feel i may have bigged the game up to much but then again i also felt it needed that much praise, but i also did include negative aspects of the game so it wasn't all praise for this release. I still play on this game today even though there has been two updates as i feel the game is still class. I feel i did'nt write a great amount but i tried to use a few longer words to emphasise some points, and didn't use any pictures because I did not want the reader to just look at the pictures and judge the game on that but then again the reader sometimes wants to see the graphics and layout of the game.
