Review Analysis

Game – Call of Duty : Ghosts

Genre – FPS / Action

Target Audience – Adults and young adults (16 – 21)

Narrative – Based on all other Call of Duty games

Characters –

Gameplay –  High quality on PS4, next gen consoles are no different to pre gen consoles, the gameplay has not changed

Platforms = All platforms but biased towards playstation as it is a playstation magazine and it favours the ability of PS4 being able to play in a better quality.

The written game review and the video review both stated Call of Duty: Ghosts as being an FPS/Action game. In the written review the author writes in a formal way which portrays it to be aimed at an older audience while the video review is less formal and the reviewer speaks his own opinions whether it is negative or positive and he does not limit the vocabulary he uses, so he swears in most of it. The author doesn't focus his piece on characters in game but e reviewer on-line uses characters from the previous games and the new one and combines them together to make jokes and to prove points. The on-line reviewer talks about the game play as if it is a joke along side it being the same in every other call of duty but they have added one extra addition, while the author has to give positive standings about the game as he has to be professional and he can not republish the magazine. With the introduction of the next generation consoles the gameplay is different due to the different capabilties of the consoles. The PS4 version on Ghosts is alot more advanced and can with stand alot more high def material while the xbox one can't handle the same as a PS4. The previous generation of consoles such as Xbox 360 and PS3 have to be made with different capabilites as they can't withstand the same amount of graphical capabilities as the new ones.
