GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Cannon Fodder 3/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
"Cannon Fodder 3 is an action-strategy PC game developed and published - originally in Russia - by Game Factory Interactive, along with developer Burut CT." perhaps: developed and published in the Russian-based Game Factory Interactive, along with developer Burut CT (however, I don't know where the last company is located)

That sentence would actually say that the game was developed in the company, which I don't think makes sense. I believe Burut CT is based in Ukraine, but that's not mentioned in any of the sources. bridies (talk) 13:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"a popular acclaimed game released for multiple formats in 1993. " - popularly acclaimed? Suggest to remove one of the words. If you want to say that it was both commercially and critically successful, then write it.

Done. bridies (talk) 13:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not a requirement, but I would add in brackets the abbreviation of Game Factory Interactive, eg Game Factory Interactive (GFI) in the first sentence

Done. bridies (talk) 13:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

" though using the keyboard to deploy additional weaponry" How about "though the keyboard is used to deploy additional weaponry"?

Done. I was keeping it in the default active voice. Changed it nevertheless. bridies (talk) 13:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What role had Burut CT in the development?

A couple of the sources state it developed the game. Which I assume means it did the programming, design, actually making the game (with GFI doing the legalities, licensing, marketing, publishing). However, a couple of other sources said GFI did the development. So I just reported both versions. There's one source (Metro) which lists both as developers but as it's the only source that does this, and it appeared several days after I put up this article, I believe its source for that was this article xD And whichever the source, it's not any more specific than "developed the game". bridies (talk) 13:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Looks good but needs a few corrections. --Kürbis (✔) 10:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
