Game Review<br />
Objectives<br />
Students will evaluate the quality of their work and the work of others.<br />
Students will identify positive aspects of the playability and functionality of a game build.<br />
Students will provide constructive criticism to peers and suggest possible solutions to problems.<br />
Situation<br />
The client has asked for an evaluation report on the playability and functionality of the game.<br />
Each member of the design team needs to evaluate the product and suggest reasons why each<br />
item achieves or does not achieve the objective. An assigned quality assurance (QA) evaluator<br />
will also review the game on behalf of the client. The QA evaluator (your instructor) will note any<br />
issues, errors, or bugs in the game. Be accurate and complete in your evaluations. The personal<br />
and peer evaluation are for the same game by the same designer. That means you must give your<br />
personal evaluation to a classmate for them to complete the peer evaluation for your game.<br />
Design Reasoning—Personal Evaluation<br />
Reflect on your work, explain your score for each item, list improvements needed for your<br />
game. Attach additional sheets if needed or complete using a word processor.<br />

Explain your score for each item. Explain what you liked about the item and how it should<br />
be improved. Be detailed and complete. Cite specific examples from the game. Attach additional<br />
sheets if needed or complete using a word processor.<br />

Scores for items not fully documented and cited may reduce the score of the peer<br />
evaluator and the evaluator’s game project. Be honest and provide constructive criticism. Being<br />
unprofessional or lowering a grade on a personal issue unrelated to the game design will result<br />
in your grade for this evaluation being lowered.<br />
