Graphical Style exaggerated
Game Research: Evaluation #1
• This game has used Exaggerated as
graphical style, because its out of space
game, its already out of the ordinary for
us so they have to go and exaggerate the
characters and the place, the guns
clothing everything does look real but it
goes well with the genre of the game. The
genre of the game is action adventure and
that’s what this game is trying to do, is
very adventures and its to good to be
true.
• They used this art style because many
people play these kind of games that’s
over exaggerated to escape the reality of
life and like this other life of big aliens
laser gun and exaggerated games

exaggerated weapons
look like.
Game Research: Review #1
This game is useful to me because it helped me
understand how to exaggerate my game, and
the graphical styles it used, its science fiction
game first person shooter. The characters and

Release date February 5 2010
Graphical Style Exaggerated/ photorealistic
Game Research: Evaluation #2
• The graphical style of this game is Exaggerated/
photorealistic they exaggerated it but not to
much because the characters still look human
and real but they mostly exaggerate the
environment to make it more fun for the players
and the weapons they use are usually
exaggerated, this game shares the same genre to
my science fiction and also same elements I
would expect to find in my game such as,
futuristic weapons and environment.
Game Research: Collage #2
If you watch closely to this
picture the back you can
see the world which links
to the photorealistic but
then the box before that
has laser lighting coming
out which links to the
exaggerated
This helps me with my
game to see how they
dress, and use graphical
style photorealistic
This shows how they
exaggerated they characters.
Game Research: Review #2
Researching this game has helped me
understand how to use photorealistic while
using exaggerated at the same time.

Game Research: Review #3
The genre of this game and graphical style works
well together, its photorealistic and that’s what
they keep in mind so they make sure that the
characters still remain real and don’t look over
exaggerated then, and its also science fiction so
it’s similar to my game.
