That's it really. The article in general is pretty well written. It's just these minor grammar issues that need to be dealt with. Lazman321 (talk) 05:12, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

All issues have been taken care of. This criterion does  Pass. Lazman321 (talk) 14:03, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

1b - Adherence to the Manual of Style

edit

There doesn't seem to be any Manual of Style issues in relation to the criteria. The lead section summarizes the key points well, the layout is standard, there is no words to be cautious about, all fiction is localized in the gameplay section, and there are no lists. As such, this criterion does  Pass. Lazman321 (talk) 05:12, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

2 - Verifiable with no original research

edit

2a - Identifiable list of references

edit

The list of references is satisfactory. This criterion does  Pass. Lazman321 (talk) 05:12, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

2b - Reliable sources

edit
  • You use a GameSpot release date overview to source the release dates in Australia and Europe. Unfortunately, release date overviews in GameSpot cannot be used as per WP:VG/S. This is because GameSpot shares its release dates with GameFAQs which is an unreliable website. Try finding a better source for those release dates. Lazman321 (talk) 05:12, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

That's it really. Everything other source is reliable, and the only primary source is the game credits. Lazman321 (talk) 05:12, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for finding a better source. Shame couldn't find a source for the European release date. Nonetheless, this criterion does  Pass. Lazman321 (talk) 14:03, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

2c - No original research

edit
  • The Incredible Hulk is a side-scrolling platformer in which the player controls the Hulk as he traverses through 30 levels spanning Alaska, Brazil, and the United States. - The game being a platformer and taking place in Brazil at one point is not backed up by the source.
  • Hidden within the levels are twenty cosmetic skins... - The statistic is not in the source.
  • The cutscenes are derived from the console version of the game.[5] - This is not mentioned in the source.
  • Reviewers initially derived simple pleasure in wielding the Hulk's strength before being overcome with a sense of monotony after the first few levels.[3][5][15] - None of the sources listed actually depict this.

Please look into these concerns. I hold original research and verification under more scrutiny than a number of other policies.

All concerns have been taken care of. This criterion does  Pass. Lazman321 (talk) 14:03, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
edit

With a copyvio score of 22.5%, this criterion does  Pass.

3 - Broad in its coverage

edit

3a - Main aspects

edit

All the main aspects of the game are covered, especially since the plot isn't really considered important to the game and as a result, doesn't need its own section. This criterion does  Pass. Lazman321 (talk) 05:12, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

3b - Focused

edit

This article never strays off-topic. It is all entirely focused on the game. This criterion does  Pass. Lazman321 (talk) 05:12, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

4 - Neutral

edit

The gameplay and development sections are written objectively, while the reception section balances all viewpoints. This criterion does  Pass. Lazman321 (talk) 05:12, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

5 - Stable

edit

There are no ongoing edit wars or content disputes. This criterion does  Pass. Lazman321 (talk) 05:12, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

6 - Illustrated by media

edit
edit

Both images have valid fair-use rationales. This criterion does  Pass. Lazman321 (talk) 05:12, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

6b - Relevant media

edit

Both images are relevant to the game, with one being the cover art and the other being a screenshot. This criterion does  Pass. Lazman321 (talk) 05:12, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

7 - Verdict

edit

There are minor grammatical errors and a few source concerns in this article. I will be placing this review   On hold for seven days in order for improvements to be made. Lazman321 (talk) 05:12, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Alright, that should be taken care of. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 06:13, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Good job. All concerns have been taken care of. This article has now   Passed the review and will now be considered a Good Article. Lazman321 (talk) 14:03, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
