Beyond Good & Evil edit

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because it was brought up that this year BG&E will celebrate its 10th anniversary. As such I would like to make this reach Featured Article status. And it becoming my first FA article wouldn't hurt either. So if you would please read on and critique the page to help have improvements be accomplished it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, GamerPro64 21:31, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Overall the article is pretty solid, and it's definitely improved since the last time I touched it. Some opening thoughts:

  • Jade's health, represented by hearts, decreases when attacked by enemies, but can be restored by using fictional food items "Starkos" and "K-Bups", and increased beyond the maximum by "PA-1s". Okay, besides being a comma splice, this passage is a bit hard to parse. I feel like naming the fictional food items is unnecessary, and I'm a bit confused as to what PA-1s do--can they increase your health total (like stat-boosting items in RPGs) or are they like a powerup of limited duration (like overshields in Halo, etc.)
  • There are sections in the gameplay section I think should probably be sourced, such as the bits on health, automatic deaths in later sections of the game, etc.
  • Source for this passage? In the original version, an essential part of the gameplay was the ability to move the camera whilst the player was driving the hovercraft inside a building. This ability was absent in the HD version. Additionally, as the camera is now always behind the player, there are various graphical glitches, with polygons filling the screen, a problem that was not present in the original version of the game.
  • If we're going to include prerelease reviews, shouldn't they probably go before the summary of the postrelease scores?
  • I'm going to do a pass on the prose and also a check on sources when I have more time.
