Well, let's get the review started, shall we?


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * Seems to have no problems here. Pass.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * All sources are reliable, no OR found. Pass.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * Gameplay, Development, Story, Reception... - Nothing's missing. I think the "Story" section could get a bit expended, though it isn't obligatory. Once again, Pass. Let's move on.
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars etc.:
 * Seems pretty good.
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * Maybe there could be an image of a developer (director/programmer...) added, though it isn't obligatory. Pass.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * All I have to say is: "What an article". Nice job, King, this is an absolute GA. PASS --Khanassassin (talk) 10:53, 11 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I actually don't agree with this review. The game play section is far from perfect (it actually seems to jump around a lot and doesn't quite focus on what the game play actually is) and the Story has a lot of OR. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 16:05, 11 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Plot references (there are a few in this article, enough) are typically recommended but not obligatory for Video game articles. The issue has been talked over many times on the Wikipedia:VG talk page, and that has been the consensus. --Khanassassin (talk) 16:31, 11 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I added an image to Development, and another ref to Plot. Yeah, Plot is short but this isn't a plot-based game (similar to Mario games). Gary King  ( talk  ·  scripts )  05:17, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
