It has a lot of information, and other than game descriptions (and I know, the game descriptions should be trimmed), I'd like to know what else there is to do. -- A Link to the Past 21:50, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
- Well, there isn't anything major that I can see directly; however:
- The article is written very much from the perspective of someone introduced to computer games, and it might be a bit confusing for readers who don't know too much about how they work (e.g. "power-ups" are mentioned without reference to what they actually are).
- The content of the article is well thought out, but some work will need to be done in making the tone of the article a touch more encyclopedic - I understand, however, this is difficult to do for computer games. The article is definitely written from a gamer's POV, and although there are no NPOV issues as such it should present the article matter in a more observational way.
- The level of detail gone into about game descriptions and plots is a bit too high. Some of the information could do with summarising and/or condensing to make the article a little more readable.
- References - I understand this is difficult for computer games, but in general all articles on Wikipedia should have references cited as per Wikipedia:Cite sources to avoid the appearance of original research. Claims made in the article should have some reference to other sources for verifiability.
- That said, however, it is an excellently presented article in general, and provides a good summary of the factual matter being discussed. Clearly, a lot of hard work has gone into the article, and I am convinced the issues above shouldn't be too difficult to solve. Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you need any further assistance. --NicholasTurnbull 23:20, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
