New enemies[edit]

Can someone list the new shapes and enemies and their behavior? JAF1970 (talk) 16:34, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's going to step outside the currently accepted article guidelines. Also, this article has a precedent with the original Geometry Wars article, swhere the detailed enemy descriptions were deleted as trivial/unencyclopedic. I think the current method of describing the important enemies (gates and gravity wells) as part of the mode-specific gameplay works well, since those are essential to understanding the gameplay and scoring features. But there are other nonessential enemies and tweaks to existing enemies that are probably best left at some form of "The game introduces new enemies and updates existing ones". — KieferSkunk (talk) — 20:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm... the enemies are back on the Geometry Wars article. Okay, so precedent isn't necessarily there. I don't think they need to be listed and described in detail, but there's no clear consensus on that article at the moment, so we should figure out if they really belong or not. If they do, then that provides a good ground on which to consider listing the new, added enemies. I'd say, though, that for the most part, they still follow the same general idea of spawning and either trying to collide with the player or create an obstacle, so each individual enemy isn't in itself notable unless it does something to specifically affect gameplay in a significant way (like gates do here). — KieferSkunk (talk) — 00:23, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a big deal. JAF1970 (talk) 04:28, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Enemy lists aren't very notable for Wikipedia. RobJ1981 (talk) 05:59, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It would figure that I'd see this after adding enemy descriptions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thankskane (talk • contribs) 00:30, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GameDaily[edit]

GameDaily is considered an official review site by both Metacritics and GameRankings (ie. counts towards the aggregate score, GR does not count minor sites towards its aggregate). By definition, it's notable - plus, it's owned by a major, major publisher (Time Warner). JAF1970 (talk) 15:09, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reassessment[edit]

Submitted article for reassessment. JAF1970 (talk) 17:22, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've assessed the article as C, it's not a 'strong' C and there's plenty of work needed to elevate it to B class and get it ready for GA nomination. Here's some suggestions:

  • Gameplay needs citing.
  • The multiplayer modes are doing fine without bullet-points so I'd suggest doing the same with the single player modes.
  • Development needs bulking up with relevant details - interviews?
  • Reception is in poor shape, any scores should be in the review box, "raved" really isn't the right word and sounds very journalistic. The quotes are mostly shades of "I like it", some cohesion is needed, try identifying key aspects of the game and anything multiple reviewers picked up, then construct the section focusing on those points and illustrating them with quotes.
  • The aggregate scores in the review box could do with citing.

Hope that's of help. Someoneanother 13:48, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Citing gameplay is ridiculous. What, you need cititions for, say, Pac-Man or Galaga gameplay? You honestly need a citation to declare it's a multidirectional shooter?! JAF1970 (talk) 18:36, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Updated info[edit]

I have added the downloadable file size and price in Microsoft Points as cited from the Xbox Live Marketplace. Is this information okay to include according to Wikipedia policy? Crawf279 (talk) 17:18, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
