Don't you just hate it? you get a brand new game for Christmas or your birthday.
The game you have been waiting for months, you pop into your machine and hey presto you've completed it within an hour.

What a let down, what a waste of money even if it was a gift.

There should be some law about games that are to easy to complete because there are too many on the market and I'm not talking about games meant fot five year olds.

I like a challenge, not too hard a challenge but a game that will keep you coming back for more and more just to move onto the next stage.

Do you find this problem with games or is it just me?

I mean some games you get unlimited continues wheres the skill in that?

Can you name some games which you think are too easy?

Thanks for reading cheers Crusher.

I can agree with you on Mario Kart especially the SNES version we used to play it for hours on end day after day.

WWF No Mercy is an ace 'pick up and play' game just like Mario Kart. You can play them on your own or with mates.

I like football games which also have alot of replay value because every game is different especially if you are playing against mates.

The only thing I don't like about footy games are the same sequals coming out year after year.

I must admit if thats all the kinda games you play, then you will get value for money, there must be other games you play though?

I'm not too big a fan of WWF, but they are a good example of replay value - you have to keep playing to unlock more and more characters. It's a good way of enticing you to play and I'm sure that our parents really appreciate it!

I don't mind completing a game fast as long as it has replay value, if you complete it in an hour and never play it again what a waste of money.

As I was just saying on another topic, Metal Gear Solid is a prime example of a short game. Length isn't everything, but if you can complete the game seriously in an hour, then this isn't the game for you. My sister completed Bob The Builder in 3 minutes, which shows how much effort, time and money went into that title.

On the contrary, I'm sure that millions of dollars went into the production of MGS 2, despite the fat that it can probably be completed in 5 or 6 hours. Remember, this opinion isn't really valid, as I haven't got the game.
