A number of chapters in my upcoming book talk about how to review games, and I go into my 4PEG model in detail. I review 7 games in the book. Here’s another.
This review is of an educational game, and I examine level 4 of the e-Bug Detective Game.
This is the summary of the review. Note that if we ignore the missing teacher support component, this game does OK. If we don’t count the teacher support component, it scores a 3.4/5. The teacher support is really important though folks. If you are an educational game maker and you don’t provide teachers with some guides and lesson plans, you will get very little uptake of your game.
