God of War (series)
This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because…I would like opinions on the article's current state and what can be done to improve the article so that it can eventually be taken through FAC. I've recently reorganized the lead and added a Development section.

Comments from ProtoDrake
I'll do a review of this. Be back in a day or two at the latest. If not, please remind me. --ProtoDrake (talk) 16:58, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Right, generally a good-quality article, just a few things about the references/external links/formatting that need mentioning. That's what I found on a first look-through. I may come back for a second, but these should tide you over in the meantime. --ProtoDrake (talk) 15:54, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) In the lead, and through the article in general, it would probably be wise to refer to the prequel and spin-offs by their subtitles (Ghost of Sparta, Betrayal) rather than using their full titles (excepting initial links, of course). The numeric entries can use their full titles as the numerals on their own make reading difficult for some.
 * 2) *Done.
 * 3) This is an optional suggestion, but I was thinking maybe switch the "Games" and "Gameplay" sections around. As a newcomer, I find it a little odd being plunged into the gameplay when I don't even know much about the games themselves. Most other game series articles I've seen seem to put games first, gameplay second. As said, this is optional, and more a matter of style choices.
 * 4) *Done.
 * 5) Also optional, but that screenshot of gamplay in God of War (not Betrayal, I must note) looks strange to me as I know the game uses a 4:3 screen ratio and it looks like something from a mobile game. Either clarify that it's cropped/similar, or replace it with another image that shows similar content but stays true to the chosen game's screen ratio. On a side-note, the combo/QTE section seems out of place. Maybe it should be closer to paragraphs involving combat.
 * 6) *That image has been around here forever. I've just been using it because it was already available here. I'll add that it's cropped for the meantime. Moved the QTE part up.
 * 7) Refs 21, 24, 60, 91, 117, 118, 119, 120 and 130 need their urls updating.
 * 8) *Forgot to check these before doing above edits so had to go to the previous version of the article to make sure I was checking the correct refs. These were all okay when I checked them.
 * 9) I saw a use of Amazon for Ref 99. That would like raise questions at FAC. That I would certainly question. Maybe Game-OST would be a descent substitute, as that is an official music documentation site that holds information about both physical and digital albums.
 * 10) *Replaced with Game-OST ref.
 * 11) External links generally need looking through and updating as most are either redirecting or have been permanently moved.
 * 12) *Removed all external links except for the franchise one (as it's correct). -- JDC808  ♫  16:53, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

All points addressed whenever you get a chance to revisit. -- JDC808  ♫  14:39, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
