Gobaloria Game Review

Globaloria Game Review
Game:Darfur is Dying
Learner: As a learner I think there is valuable information to be found in the way the game portrays the life of children in Darfur, even the lives of young adults and adults is looked at.
Developer: It seems the maker(s) of the game took time to research what exactly life is like for those living in Darfur. They also did extremely well in the art and animation of the game, which must have also taken a goo deal of time to do.
Design Analysis: As I said this game looks very good. The art styles used in the run to the well portray the vivid and harsh life in a desert-esque area. And the village gives the feel of a small war-torn town in the harsh life that is Darfur.
Usability Analysis: The usability of the game, for the most part, was very nice. The objectives were given to you from the start and you know what needs to be done. The village part of the game was a little bothersome at first, but this was a minor speed bump.
Suggestions: Some parts of the game had a few "burps" if you will. If you run too far to the side during the water retrieval part of the game you will be lock in place and the only way out is to, sadly, die. Also some of the hiding places didn't work and sometimes you could hide anywhere on the map.
Learning: Two things I would like to learn how to do from this game is; integrating such good sprites and getting a good Pseudo-3D engine running.
Rating:4/5 Needs some polishing and work with the "burps" but is a very nice game.


Globaloria Review II
Game:Learn the Bones
Learner: As a learner, using this game I would find that the system they use to teach you the bones is very well done. Developer: The way they have the bones snap into place is very nice. Also the questions asked are good for reinforcing the bone names.
Design Analysis: The bones are very well done artistically and the questions are sound. Usability Analysis: Overall there is nothing that I can say negatively about how this game works. Some things are a light rough but overall the game is very user friendly.
Suggestions: A few of the bones are missed named, and a few are missing.
Learning: I would like to learn how to drag things around a board and have screen changes to questions.
Rating: 3/5 Needs polishing and some work on correct information, but this game is very impressive for being made by students.
