Video Game Conversion - Criticism

Criticism

Criticism has been made of converting video games in the past. Critics of arcade conversions often point to a lack of depth or sophistication that these games offer, especially in comparison to titles written especially for the console. Some contend that arcade conversions are produced exclusively to make money, as the design work is for the most part already carried out. This is, however, countered by the numerous extra features that modern arcade conversions often offer.

A number of criticisms have also been launched against conversions of games between home computers and consoles, particularly post-1995.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:

    ... criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)

    Like speaks to like only; labor to labor, philosophy to philosophy, criticism to criticism, poetry to poetry. Literature speaks how much still to the past, how little to the future, how much to the East, how little to the West.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Homoeopathy is insignificant as an art of healing, but of great value as criticism on the hygeia or medical practice of the time.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
