   Pass or Fail: Pass

References

• This is trivial, but there is no need for inlines in the lead/infobox unless they follow a contentious statement (this lead has none).
• Per checklinks, some of these references are currently dead links. GameSpot in particular just moved everything around; the content should still be there but the URL has changed.
• The last paragraph in Gameplay cites no sources.

Coverage

• The downloadable content section has no mention of the reception or performance of either release. Even a sentence or two would be nice.
• The Cast section is pretty tiny. It could be cut, or the list of voice actors could be put into Story somewhere.

The article is quite good and the notes above are small problems. Great work! — Mr. V (t – c) 07:41, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Since the nominator only made four edits three months ago, and only two were trivial fixes to this article, I took the liberty of addressing all the issues you mentioned above. Let me know if everything looks good. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 02:24, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

@Torchiest: The Gamestation interview link is broken...I'm unable to find it on their website. But since it is used only twice in the article, and in sentences that are also cited by other sources, it can simply be cut. We're good to go! — Mr. V (t – c) 00:05, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
