[edit] Locales section too long

It seems to me these long quotes from interviews made sense before the game was released but are now redundant. This paragraph could be summed up in a few lines and the interviews simply linked to. Thoughts? Mezigue (talk) 09:38, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Since I have had no feedback on this whatsoever I have now rewritten the section. Mezigue (talk) 09:56, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GAN on hold

  • Woah...personally I'm not a big fan of stacks of quoting like at the start (especially at the start) of the gameplay section...merge that into text and add your own words around it...
    • There's something similar in Setting (best to check the article throughout for this sort of thing :).
  • Who are Robin Walker and Erik Johnson? - their roles aren't explained the first time they're named
  • "being sort of a non-human character." - somewhat is probably a better word than sort of
  • It feels like there are too many images...are they all needed?
  • "An interview with PC Gamer magazine..." - no refs for this interview?
  • "Because the technology used was the same for both games" - try to avoid starting a sentence with because...best to reword the whole sentence
  • "that mentioned Episode Two would be released" - sounds odd...perhaps "stating that..."
  • Reception section could do with significant expansion, esp. considering the number of reviews there...

Leave me a note when done and I'll take another look (please don't strike)...cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 10:22, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

I think I've addressed all concerns. Gary King (talk) 17:01, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Notes on the expanded reception section...

  • "Despite this, the review from IGN also commented," - "He also commented" would work just as well...(if not better!)

Hmm...and generally looks good... yeah, should be able to pass this soon. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 09:49, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Done, and also went ahead to do some general copyediting. Gary King (talk) 15:19, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
And passed! dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 12:52, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Congratulations! Nice work, all. What do you think about this proposal? clicketyclickyaketyyak 14:10, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

One minor issue: the reference tag for citation #31 at the end is producing an error. Dr. Cash (talk) 15:37, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Fixed that, seems to be something to do with NYT not being built into the {{VG Reviews}}. Rehevkor (talk) 16:00, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
