Comments
  • Gameplay-> There are two challengeable statements here which I shall tag. It's not that I dispute them...just for verification's sake, I think it would be better if you add those inline cites there.
Ok aside from this, is there no source which mention their ability to throw grenades? -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 10:42, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Turns out the AllGame reference mentions the ability to use grenades, i've added that weapon to the article. Freikorp (talk) 13:01, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The only thing which seems like an issue is the reliance on sources which look like fansites to me, but as long as the "Reception" section has reliable sources I don't feel that's going to be a hurdle.

Suggestion: Aside this review, I added the archive link to one reference which you rely heavily on, why don't you try it for the others? In future, if those links go dead, that would be a problem. -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 09:58, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've never added archive links before; i'll look into it. Also I probably should have told you earlier, I didn't write the article. I came across it, thought it was almost at GA quality, and made numerous copyedits before nominating it myself. The user who did all the hard work has since retired from editing. Freikorp (talk) 13:01, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I've seen that in the history. It is good to that you nominated this to fulfill that retired user's legacy . -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 15:19, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay just two more minor issues. One: The infobox mentions quite a few names in the credits but this seems to be unsourced and not mentioned in the article; use your discretion in removing or keeping these. Two: The content sourced in the reception to The Nerdist site almost directly quotes the entire single para considering there just that talking about the game. In the strictest sense, this could be considered as a COPYVIO, suggest you trim down that part.

Alright, I pass this article. Congratulations! and now let me finish doing its paperwork. Good day, Ugog Nizdast (talk) 14:56, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
