Matt Reviews

Matt Reviews  is a series where Matt reviews games and other media, with or without a collaborator.

Rules of Reviews
Every review (especially collab ones) sticks to certain rules.
 * Opinions are subjective, so do not target anyone for having a different one to you.
 * Do not go OTT; running gags are fine, so long as they aren't in your face.
 * If you think a joke might be controversial, do not put it in the script.
 * Try and be a fair judge - if you think something doesn't work, suggest a way of fixing it.
 * Keep it PG; don't go overkill with swear words.

Opening titles
The titles for Matt Reviews varied throughout the 2019 episodes up until the infamous Sonic 4 Review. Starting from the Sonic Labyrinth review, the titles parodied the opening to British sitcom Men Behaving Badly with two variants;

Variant 1
Variant 1 features clips of Matt first, then the collaborator, then Reggie. After this, gameplay clips are shown, and the logo animation appears, after which there is a title card.

Variant 2
Nearly identical, minus the collaborator credits (used on Matt-only reviews). A shorter version of the theme is also used for these episodes.

Special episodes
The specials use a different set of titles;
 * Quick Reviews use a shortened version of the generic Matt Reviews intro.
 * Non-Sonic Review Episodes use the original, non-Sonic stylised TME logo.
 * TV/Film Review Episodes use footage from the show/film instead of gameplay.
