LO2 - Analysis of different reviews


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.

Video Review

The video review is less professional as he does not need to watch what he says, he has a widely open vocab which he uses and he can say what he likes while in a magazine you would have to be more professional as once your written piece is published you can not take it back and change it.

Target Audience – Young teenagers and young adults.                                            
Characters – Gives personal opinions on each character whether it be good or bad and verbally violent.
Gameplay – Talks about how the gameplay is the same as the other games but the creators make tiny changes which he jokes about and says they are pointless or stupid.
Platforms – He doesn’t specifically say which platforms but images within the video show different consoles such as Xbox and Playstation


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.
