In most games you play as some sort of good guy. You try to stop the bad guy from taking over the world (or sometihng similar). But what about if there was a game where you played as the bad guy and you had to take over the world, or erm....do something bad and nasty to the world?
Where you have an army or a few men to help you, although there would still be a good guy trying to put a stop to your plans.
But would people want to play as the evil character, doing bad instead of good? Now I know this is what it is like in GTA3 and it sold loads and loads of copies but you are a criminal in that and you run people over and have police chases etc. But I mean platformer type games that are a little cartoony. Would it sell? And would it have and age limit of about 11 or something? Parents might not want small children to play it because they think it might teach them to do bad things. Unlike in other games where you are good trying to stop evil, but this way it would be the other way around
It would be like MGS but the other way aorund, with you trying to launch metal gear and a nuclear weapon. It'll be good if didn't have the code or something and oyu had to trick them into doing it for you :o).
So, do think that these kind of games would be good, and will they sell as good as others?
Thanks for reading. Sorry if this is a bit hard to read and understand and rubbish, I'm not very good at this kind of stuff :-(

It would be different to play as the bad guy yes, but in the end it would only come out the same way as being the good guy.
In effect, being the bad guy, the only thing that is really being changed is the story line. The actually game would not really differ would it. Think about it, you are the bad guy, you aim, to take over the world by completing the game by killing the good guy and doing what ever you do. its just reversing the story line really isnt it.
But it would be very interesting to see if done well, it would not half make a change to see the bad guy win, and the world this time to be really nuked. :D

firstly good post :-).
secondly i think it would be good to play as the bad guy in some games and a new game called god cop bad cop should let you chose whether to handle stuff the good way or become a bad cop :D

Well, Blood Omen 2 which is one of the games from the Blood Omen/Soul Reaver series lets you play as Kain, who IS a bad guy. He wants to conquer the kingdom of Nasgoth and rule the world (cant they come up with anything better?). SO anyway, you are a vampire and you can kill nice citixens and stuff..
I do agree with you though. It may get a tad boringalways playing as the good guys. Sometimes you just wish you could be the bad guy (I would certainly love to play as Vamp from MGS2) because they are
(a)usually cooler than your character
(b) have great arsenal of weapons and moves etc.
I dont think that the market is going to be flooded with such games in the near future but its always nice to know you can go out and buy a game that doesnt stick to the same concept and follows the same rules laid out by developers all over the world
