Game Development Team Evaluation Criteria

You will be evaluating the video game of the other teams, as well as your own team members. I will determine all grades, but these grades will in part be based on the evaluations others give you and your team, as well as the quality of your evaluations of others. Do your best and be honest in your evaluations, and you shouldn’t have any problems.

Video Game Evaluation:

Appearance: How nice does the game look? Is it well laid out, is it comprehensible? Does it make good use of images, text, and so on?

Quality: Does the game work? Is the action clear and understandable? Is the overall organization of the game sensible?

Technical Excellence: Does the site do a good job of using Java and Greenfoot? Did the team use any special features that make this game stand out?

Wow! Factor: Is the game especially impressive in any way? Does the appearance, or material, or technical add-ons really grab you? Is it especially compelling?

Playability: Do the game controls operate well? Does the action onscreen relate to the objectives of the game? Does the game become an “experience” rather than just pressing buttons to try to get what you want out of it?

Overall Value: How worthwhile is this website? Is this the sort of game you’d be interested in playing outside of class?
