The writer uses terms such as ‘You can’,
‘You will’. This is second person address. It makes the text more personal and
makes the reader feel involved.
It’s not universally beautiful, though.
Small effects like tyre smoke and the puffs of dust kicked up by cars putting a
wheel off-track don’t amaze, and the rudimentary pit-stops look uncharacteristically
shonky.

Just Dance 2014
Just Dance 2014 is
the newest edition of the dancing game series for the Wii (U), PlayStation (3
& 4) and Xbox (One and 360). Although it lacks a storyline, an important
element in most games, it doesn’t stop the game from being clear and fun for
the player.
The player joins
in with interactive dancing games with instructions given by anonymous ultraviolet
coloured dancers that wear costumes appropriate and connecting to the songs
they’re dancing too, creating a theme for that level and the allowing the
player to easily connect themselves with their character, making it easier to
follow the dance instructions.
The game easily
appeals to teenagers as it active, fun and features a large variety of new and
classic pop songs, going from Careless Whisper to Y.M.C.A., and from Blurred
Lines to Ghostbusters.
A major downside
to the game, apart from being hot and sweaty afterwards, is that the gameplay
isn’t that good. The sensor bar struggles to pick up the signal from the Wii
remotes if the player isn’t standing in the middle, which causes issues with
points if 4 or 3 people are playing, as the person in the middle has an unfair
advantage and is named as the winner.
Another problem
with the game is the instructions given by the stickmen at the bottom of the
screen. They show up-coming dance positions but this can easily put of the
dancers timing by doing position too early. Due to the stick-men being
stationary pictures instead of actual people, the movements aren’t clear so can
lead the player to get confused. So, when playing this game, I suggest you ignore
the stickmen and follow the instructions given by the human characters.
Despite the
gameplay not being all that great, I still highly recommend this game as it is
still enjoyable to play and just as fun to watch others do it.

Gameplay – Starting level involves picking
out items for character. Levels after that involve making the character run
through a level, taking certain turns in the ‘maze’ and making him jump
over/avoid certain obstacles along the way. Some levels feature Mr. Key in a
canoe, where the player have to help in row in certain directions to avoid
obstacles in the water.
Target Audience – Probably boys in their
early teenage years, the same type of audience that Mario appeals to.
Plot Synopsis – Mr. Key, a monkey, wakes up
to realize that he’s late for work. You help him by getting him ready for work,
getting through the jungle, canoe over
rapids, through the city, through the store and up to his office, with a timer
on each level. Once every level has been achieved, it shows a video of Mr. Key
getting to his office in time, only to be reminded by another work that it was
his day off.
Placement in the market – Competing with
Nintendo’s ‘Mario’ and ‘Legend of Zelda’
games.
Character ideas- The game focuses on Mr.
Key, a monkey in a business suit. Other characters are to work as obstacles,
clues, or to make a scene look busy/atmosphere.
These types of characters are mostly jungle creatures (crocodiles,
giraffes), sea creatures (sharks, octopi), people (variety of people in the
city) and business people (men and women in suits, at counter and selling
items).
