The last case was the most exciting one. It was specifically because the superior psyche locks were back and the navigation received a few upgrades. One can only imagine the awesomeness if somebody at Capcom actually implemented your suggestions. *sigh* Just finished the game and I must must say – your critique still holds water!

Very spirited as well. Which is a good thing. You not only have a lot of passion for game design, but also are quite good at it. Excellent breakdown. Very spirited as well. Which is a good thing.

You pulled quite the <a HREF="http://www.edwardtufte.com" REL="nofollow">Tufte</a> on that one. I'm floored ;-)<br/><br/>One is just one thing I did not quite get: I'm not sure what you mean by the judge being an old sprite. Are you referring to a low amount of colours?<br/><br/>As for you arguments: I'm sceptical about double-tapping with the stylus to allow a preview. I've seen it already in the <a HREF="http://gamedesignreviews.blogspot.com/2006/09/lost-in-blue-game-design-and-usability.html" REL="nofollow">Lost in Blue</a> Series and it makes the interface seem just more sluggish and unresponsive. The gain of a preview doesn't seem justify that drawback, especially since it seems become a burden as you become familiar with the layout. I think the thumbnails you've shown do already a good job to make a preview unnecessary. Additionally, you could make sure there are simple means to undo a bad choice quickly to make navigation more forgiving. Just awesome. You pulled quite the Tufte on that one. I’m floored ;-)
