LO2: Forza Motorsport 5 review analysis


Task 2

The use of phrases such as “you can” and “you will”, have a personal direct to the audience. This can make the audience think that it is directed to them and is seen as a letter instead of a review. I think that this could make the audience feel more welcome to read it. The phrases also have a theme of order or advice. When they see this it could encourage them to do things, for example if in the review it says “you will enjoy this game” it will be a lot more persuasive to buy the game than if it said something like “the game is fun”.

Task 3

“Cars are some of the most intoxicating, most beautiful things ever forged by mankind”

Intoxicating – This is my favourite word in this section because it describes as if cars pull you in and are like a drug or an addiction.  The elements of the game that are being talked about in this section Is the main part of the game, the cars. In the review of a game one of the biggest things are the elements for example the narrative and the characters, so it is a good review when the main elements of the game are being described as “intoxicating”. The author is speaking to the target audience at a personal level, he/she feels strongly about this game due to the use of adjectives he/she has used in the review. If the elements of the game are described as intoxicating that makes a bigger difference towards the reader than if he/she called it fun or good.

Task 4

I think that as a whole this review would influence to buy this game because the way the author writes it with very descriptive words is interesting and makes me think differently about it. The use of words such as “beautiful” or “intoxicating” or “tremendous”, make me think of the game in a different way, For example I would just think of it as another game but the way he/she writes it, it makes you feel like it is the best game you will ever buy. Another reason why I feel very influenced to buy this game is because of how he writes in on a personal level. This makes me think that he/she could be near my age group and if they have had that much fun playing the game then that makes me want to buy it more.
