Game Design Homework

All that study of gameplay and game mechanics has paid off: you just landed a job as the chief critic at a gaming website!

In order to perform your job well, you have to find some games to review. Select two genres from those listed in the lesson content. For each genre, select, play, and or review two top games in that genre. You can select games available for PC or a mobile device. You can find free games on websites or by visiting the Apple App Store or Google Play Store from your mobile phone.

Write a review of each game (four total), documenting the following game elements:

  1. Parts of the Game (at least three of each)
    1. Goal
    2. Challenge
    3. Space
    4. Actions
    5. Components
    6. Rules
  2. Mechanics, Dynamics, and Aesthetics
    1. What are the main mechanics of the game? Choose at least two.
    2. Name and explain one or more dynamics those mechanics lead to.
    3. Name and explain one or more aesthetics those dynamics produce.
  3. Evaluation
    1. Identify who you think the game’s primary audience is by age, gender, and/or player type.
    2. Choose what you think are this game’s primary aesthetics (at least two.) Rate each aesthetic on a scale from 0 to 10 for the game’s intended audience, where 0 means the game failed miserably at it and 10 means it was so great you forgot you were even playing to evaluate this game. Explain your reasoning.
    3. Overall, why do you think this game is good or not good?

Next, see what other game reviewers think about the games you found.  Here are the required parts of your research:

  1. Find a professional review for each game on a game journalism site or magazine and compare it with your own analysis. Do you agree with the review? Does the review accurately analyze the substance of the game, or does it simply scratch the surface? Explain your reasoning.
  2. Find the game’s rating from at least three different sources and average the data (add the scores together then divide by the number of scores.) If they use different rating systems (such as points out of 10, points out of 100, or letter grades), convert them to a single system like a percentage score (you can find resources online to convert letter grades to percentages) then take the average of those.
  3. Find out how many copies of the game were sold as one measure of its popularity. Did the game oversell, undersell, or match your expectations based on yours and others’ reviews and ratings of its quality?

Write up this research and comparison portion as an additional section of your game review document. Clearly identify which game you are referring to and include links to the reviews that you found.

Finally, write a summary identifying the common elements of successful and unsuccessful games across genres.
