Well i suppose it depends what sort of game you enjoy, but whether it's an action game or an adventure it needs to keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what's gunna happen next!
A game also needs a good amount of options.I don't mean like changing the sound or anything like that but being able to make different choices on what to do.A good example is Sonic Adventure 2, you can choose whether to become good or evil.
Graphics play a big part in making a good game but that normally relys on the console.Having a good game with bad graphics can really wreck it, although the Nintendo 64 doesn't have very good graphics but was still good fun!
Post your thoughts on what you think makes a good game!

I don't think the N64 had bad grpahics. You only have to look at Perfect Dark and The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask to see that. I would have said the PSone had worse graphics. They were a bit on the blocky side. I'm not, however, saying that I disliked any of the games for that reason. Final Fantasy outrules that. What makes a good game is the gameplay. It has to make you want to come back and play it again.
