A game that's destined to fail, as it seems. Reviewing this article. Gerald WL 13:00, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"and it failed to make a commercial impact." I don't see any statements in Reception stating that it "failed to make a commercial impact."

It's in the last sentence of Reception's first paragraph: "Wild Woody failed to make a commercial impact, which Lanford attributed to its late release in the 16-bit era, questionable character design and standard platforming gameplay." Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 20:52, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gameplay

I remember a version of this article having a plot section. They are allowed to be included, so if you can, please do so. This should be placed below "Gameplay".
in which the player controls the titular character. Woody is an anthropomorphic pencil -- suggest changing to in which the player controls the titular character Woody, an anthropomorphic pencil.
Suggest linking totem pole as it is uncommon word.

Development and release

Suggest linking game engine within "engine".

Reception

Suggest paraphrasing some quotes to lessen copyright stuff. I see stuff that can be.
"Doug Lanford agreed that the title"-- "In response, Doug Lanford agreed that the title". Gerald WL 13:00, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

All done Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 20:52, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Salute for that quick change. Now I just have two concerns on the plot. After this I'll give MOS:VG a last check.

"...the totem pole's power would be released; the totem pole segments scatter and create parallel universes for themselves, which threatens to destroy the world." Repetitive use of totem pole. Suggest changing the second mention to "it".
Suggest giving the sentences starting from "Under Low Man's instruction" a standalone paragraph. So the plot has two paragraphs. Much cleaner in my view. Gerald WL 02:17, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And done. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 03:25, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cat's Tuxedo, and all good! I've added a portal bar; now it's GA. Hold on a second for that. Gerald WL 04:20, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
