Unit 60- Gaming: February 2014

Disney Infinity.

Empire magazine review.

Genre.

The reviewer of the game 'Disney Infinity'

tries to get across that the genre of the game

is a adventure game.

Target Audience.

The target audience of the game is mainly aimed

at kids as it is Disney but the reviewer shows that

adults can love this game too.

Narrative and Characters.

The narrative of the game is not specific in this

review, but it does show that there is a lot of

battling with the characters. The characters

of the game are most Disney characters e.g Jack sparrow,

the characters out of Toy Story, Monsters inc,

Cinderella etc.

Game Play.

Since there isn't a specific narrative to the game, the game

play was basically explained in the narrative. The

game just involves battling against other characters for example

the enemies from the Dead Man's Chest in Pirates And The Caribbean and

visiting all the different mythical islands which Disney

have created. The Game also allows you to re create your

favorite scenes from Disney and re build your own world.

Platform.

The Review shows that the platforms this game is available

on is PC, PS3, 3DS,Xbox 360, Wii and Wii U.

Personal Recommendation.

From this review i personally believe that this sounds like a

very enjoyable game for most people. The only bad thing i have to say

about it is the lack of sense it makes, there isn't really a

strong enough narrative. I would preferably like to play

this game on a Wii U because of the amount of control

you can get from the console.

                                                             Genre.
                                         The video review shows that the genre of the game
                                                        is a strong adventure game.

                                                  Target audience.
   The target audience of the game is Kids, but in
   this video it also shows the complications of the
   game, such as building land, which would seem
quite difficult for a kid to grasp.

                                                         Narrative and Characters.
   The video shows that there is lots of different
narrative for all different characters. The video
                                             showed, Jack Sparrow from pirates of the Caribbean,
                                             monsters inc, the Incredible s and Mickey Mouse,
                                             each character is completely different, super heroes,
   pirates, monsters and animals.

                                                                  Game play.
   The game play is shown a lot through out this review,
It showed jack sparrow collecting various things on his
                                          way to a pirate ship, it showed Sully from Monsters
                                          Inc using a make believe weapon that splats colourful
paint with powers as well as the main guy from the
Incredible s using his strong super powers on top of
buildings.

                                                                 Platform.
   The video didn't show which platform the game is on
but i know from the last review that it is available on
PC, PS3, 3DS, XBOX 360, Wii and Wii U.

                                                      Personal Recommendation.
                                          Due to this very well shown review i would be very
                                           tempted to buy this game. I love the amount of game
                                            play as well as the characters involved.

Comparing the two reviews.

The first review didn't seem as thorough as the video one, the youtube one showed you through the game step by step and explained the narrative a lot better. The fact the review was visual made it more easier to understand as you could visually see what the characters were doing and see ash level. The game play came across much more enjoyable on the second review, where as on the first review it seemed like there wasn't much game play involved.

The target audience seemed different in both reviews, In the first one they made out adults would enjoy it just as much as kids, but when you could actually see the game on video it was clearly aimed at kids and not adults.
