Different Types Of Fun in Games

By Hobbit

Everyone has their own opinion on what makes a fun game. That's why I'm writing an article on it even though Trev did already. First let's look at the different types of games and what makes them so fun.

What kind of games you like depends on what type of person you are. Let's say you're a guy who barely plays video games, you might sit down and play Wii Sports and have a lot of fun with it. Or let's say you're a somebody who plays games all the time; you might enjoy something more like LOTRO. The Wii, is a video game system that has a motion sensing controller so to play tennis you swing the remote like a tennis racket; that makes it very easy and fun for non-gamers to pick up and play. Whereas Lord Of The Rings Online is a massively multi player online role-playing game with lots of different things to do and more depth for more advanced gamers.

The Wii is obviously very fun just swinging around and playing tennis. Many people have bought it because it is so fun with it's motion sensing technology. There are also fun games out there that are not simple. Halo 3, a first person shooter, has controls that are a little complicated.

Now that we've looked at what kind of games are fun for different people and what is fun for everyone; let's look at some historically fun games. Super Mario Bros. This game was amazing! Jumping on goomba's and going in pipes was never as fun as this. Then there's Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This game had just the right amount of puzzle solving, fighting, and exploring to make it one of the funnest games of all time; even though, Trev's Mom thought it was to0 complicated. Then there's Donkey Kong 64. This game was also a great cross between fighting and exploring. Star Fox 64 had an awesome lock on targeting system and sweet boss battles. Add 4 or 5 different difficulties and a sweet multi player mode and you've got one of coolest and most fun games ever. And finally, Metroid Prime 3. This is a great FPS; to shoot you aim at the screen and pow! Plus a great storyline, tough bosses, and puzzles. This game rocked.

Well I've just scratched the surface of different games and fun; if you want to know more about this subject please comment.
