Astroids game evaluation

Genre Shooting
Game astroids.

Goal rating 3/5
The goal of the game is known at the beggining of the game. As you progress through the game the levels become more and more difficult,as you go through the levels you get knew enimies that are better than the last

Balance rating: 2/5
In the game i do not think the balance is good because as you progress the enemies get better with better weapons more enemies an they become faster. But myou become slower an your fire rate is slower.

Flow Rating: 4/5
The game had a good flow to it. As you go through the enemies become harder an there are more enemies which makes it more difficult an fun to play.

Immersion rating 2/5
The immersion rating i dont think is good in the game because it does not have addicting music sounds or gameplay an can easily make you bored. I would be better if the enemies were more safisticated an harder as shooting rocks is not the funnest thing to do. So i think that the immersion can be better.

Street racer

Goal/ Rating 2/5
The goal in this game is not good. It is very repetetive and all you do is just dodge cars and pass diffrent levels i do not like the goal it is very boring an too repetetive.

Balance Rating 2/5
The balance in this game is ok because your car is a lot faster then all the rest which alows you to weave in an out but as you progress faster cars come into the equation

Flow Rating 3/5
The flow of the game is good as you progress an get a higher score harder and faster cars come after you. When you get to a certain amount of points a police car comes after you.

Immersion rating 4/5
The immersion of the game is great it is very addicting yet very repetetive it sucks you in an makes you play again an again. This is done because it is so easy at the start but gets very difficult as you progress.

1945 game evaluation

Dean Lantouris


Game Title : 1945

Genre : shooter


Goal : 2 there is not really any goal well the goal is just to get points an that is about it there are no levels you just have to kill as many planes as possible.


Balance 4 : The balance of the game was very good. As the player progresses through the game more enemies become available, each with better weapons or a different attack strategy. The enemies' strength is countered by giving the player a better weapon and firing rate.


Flow 4 : i really like the flow of the game as you progressed it got harder as there were more planes with better weaponery ect.


Imersion 3: the imersion is good in this game because at the start it sucks you in because it is very easy but it soon changes an gets very difficult

games stimulate your mind games like brain teasers

There are opportunities with new and emerging technologies for providing
effective coaching in an adventure games environment. For example,
the player can experience a role or roles in a near real-life setting and
at the same time learn about the setting itself, developing intuitive skills at
coping in that environment
