Review
Do you want to buy a video game, watch a movie, listen to a song, read a book? What genre do you prefer?

A review gives the audience good and bad points in the game, film, or book, and provides an opinion about whether it is worth spending time and money to view or play. Usually, the review identifies the game's genre, purpose, audience, and style.
