One thing alot of games lack is animals. This is a kind of serious post but in some ways its just stupid.
Whether it be cute little puppies or vicious lions we need more of them to add to our games. There are alot of great games out there that have no animals in them at all, could they have been made better by including an animal in there somewhere.
Take MGS, what if some gaurds had dogs that hunted for you and were able to sniff out your scent and follow you, or vicious pit bulls that chased you when they caught sight on you.

Animals could also make a game look more impressive. With todays standard of graphics we could create realistic looking animals that move the way they do in real life.
So what animals do you want to see more of?
MONKEYS
Seem to be popular with everyone, people say humans decended from them. They can be entertaining and cheeky. Games have featured monkeys for a long time, ever since donkey kong all the way up to ape escape 2 so lets see more of them.

I would like to see games that make use of the more strange animals like armadillos and skunks.

There were man-eating dogs in Castlevania that chased you around a maze with a man holding a bloody chainsaw following behind!

just think how many monkey's we would see in planet of the apes !! i hope they do make a planet of the apes game , just think ........ you are a monkey , or a human , maybe you could choose between the two at the beggining , and you either have to keep the humans tied up and play with them like pets and then stop any breakouts from happening or catch them when they break out and stuff like that. Then if you were a human , you had to try your best to get in the good books with the guards , then escape , or have a fun time talking to the monkey guards getting to know them , doing chores etc. This could be one of the most involving RPG's to date !! even rivaling zelda.

Jill of the Jungle, old shareware 80x86 title...you could hit special power ups to make jill transform in to things to help her get through the jungle. One of them was a phoenix...a fish of some sort..

*goes to dig out his old copy and find the third*
