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 think that there shouldn't be a law, because we all complete games at different speeds. The thing what annoys me is that when you get a game that sounds really good and its a type of game when you have to go around blowing stuff up, and it has a multiplayer option that is rubbish because it makes the graphics squashed. And the single player option is just too hard and is programmed by ameutures like Grudge Warriors (doubt you would of heard of it).

That really annoys me!

(Nice topic by the way)

That happened to me when I bought Perfect Dark.

Played through Agent, up to Air Force One on Special Agent and Area 51 - Infitration on Perfect Agent in two weeks, then, after another few plays on it, I was up to Pelegic II on Perfect Agent.

I must admit I actually found perfect dark fairly difficult although I have completed it.
The multiplayer games are great thou.

Yes I agree sometime the multiplayer games are a little squased with jerky graphics and slowdown, its as if the multiplayer games are an afterthought and not actually part of the game.

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.

I can't remember what rank I was because I sold My N64 about six months ago.
I don't think I was as high as you thou.

P.S Gamecube will rule.

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.

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!
