As I’m beginning to tackle my massive collection of video games, I think that it would be a good idea for me to come up with a system in which I rank the games that I’ve completed. Of course I’m no expert, so the ranking system will be based solely on my own feelings towards each game. As of right now I have decided to rank each game based on seven criteria: story (or something of the equivalent), characters, gameplay, graphics, music & sound, replay value, and lasting impression. However, not every criterion will be ranked equally in terms of percentage. For example, the story within a game is very important to me so it would be more heavily weighted than the graphics. The following are the percentage for each criterion based on how important I think each is:
Gameplay: 25%
Story: 25%
Characters: 20%
Graphics: 10%
Music & Sound: 5%
Replay Value: 10%
Lasting Impression: 5%
Total = 100%
I will give a score from 0 – 100 for each criterion and multiply that score by the percentage. Then each subtotal for every criterion will be added together to get a final score. I will round each score to the nearest tenth.
Now that you know the criteria, what does each mean? Here is the breakdown:
Gamplay: This includes the battle system or any mechanics in the game.
Story: The plot or purpose of the game.
Characters: How impactful are the characters? Are there a variety of characters?
Graphics: How stunning are the visuals?
Music & Sound: Is the music captivating? Are the voice actors believable?
Replay Value: Does the game make me want to relive the whole experience again?
Lasting Impression: What do I think of the game as a whole?
This is the system that I have created so hopefully I stick to it and starting tomorrow (hopefully), I will start writing my first review. On a side not, I wish everybody a safe and exciting new year. I can only wish that this New Year will be better than the last for everyone =)
