<h3>Invert the bottle and cut three flippers of cardboard.</h3>
<p>This is necessary to hold the rocket at launch time. Make your best design.</p>
<h3>Play the game for 7 to 10 hours.</h3>
<p>Many video games can take upwards of 100 hours to complete. However, most publications expect a review within 1 week of the game being released.
Try to play the video game that you are reviewing for at least 7 hours to get a feel for it. Explore as much of the game as you can in this timeframe.</p>

<h3>Tape them all to the bottle at an angle of about 120 degrees between them.</h3>
<p>Remember, the bottle must be upside down and the flippers must not be taped at the bottle's base.</p>
<h3>Take notes on what you appreciate about the game.</h3>
<p>Your notes will translate directly into what you put in your review. Use a computer or a notebook to write down what you like about the game. Pay attention to playability, sound, graphics, and in-game purchases. Jot down anything that sticks out to you, even if it is small.</p>

<h3>Make a hole through the cork so that the bicycle pump can easily fit into it.</h3>
<p>Fix the pump tube to it with plasticine.</p>
<h3>Write down what could be improved about the game. </h3>
<p>Not every game is perfect, and your review should focus on the improvements that you think could be made as well as the positives. Take note of what you didn’t love about the game. Maybe the graphics are clunky, or the load times are too long. If anything annoys you even slightly, be sure to write it down.</p>

<h3>Invert the bottle and cut three flippers of cardboard.</h3>

<h3>Note how the game compares to other games like it.</h3>
<p>You’ve probably played a lot of video games that could be comparable to the one you are reviewing. Think about games that are in the same genre as the one you are playing. Is it an action-based game? A horror game? A racing one? Then, think about which ones you liked better or worse. Would you play this one more or less than other games?</p>

<h3>Compiling Your Notes into a Review</h3>
<p> If you are submitting your review to a gaming site, they will most likely want between 800 and 1,000 words in your review. Indie games or mobile apps can be on the lower end, while popular games should be more in-depth and closer to 1,000 words.</p>

<h3>Start with a 2 to 3 sentence introduction.</h3>
<p>Your readers may have heard about the game you are playing, or it could be brand new to them. Introduce the game that you are reviewing without giving away too much about the story itself. Open with a hook to grab your readers’ attention and make them want to read the rest of your review.</p>
</div>
</li>

<li>
<div class="content">
<h3>Discuss the quality of the sound and graphics.</h3>
<p>Refer back to your notes to identify what you liked or disliked about the sound and the graphics of the game. Go into detail about what system you were using and how well the game translated through that. Note if you were wearing headphones or using speakers and if the game was displayed on a TV or computer.</p>
</div>
</li>

<li>
<div class="content">
<h3>Write about the story and the characters.</h3>
<p>If the video game you are writing about is a series, it may continue old characters or introduce new ones. Be sure to talk about the characters that you can play as and who you interact with the most throughout the game. Describe the different actions and weapons options that each character provides.</p>
</div>
</li>

<li>
<div class="content">
<h3>Note your personal opinion on the game.</h3>
<p>Make sure to inject your own opinion on the game into your review. Let your readers know if you’d recommend the game or not and what you’d tell the developers if you could. You can give it a numerical rating if you’d like to make it easy to understand.</p>
</div>
</li>

<li>
<div class="content">
<h3>Proofread your review for any errors before you submit it. </h3>
<p>If you are submitting your review to a video game magazine or publication, take a few minutes to look over your work and check for errors. Your review will most likely get edited before it is published, but it will be taken more seriously if it does not have many glaring errors. Check for spelling, grammar, and flow of your words.</p>
