whats makes a game fun.... your thoughts

hey. im a pretty big gamer and ive noticed that some games (on all consoles) are just plain great fun such as: Castlevania Circle of the moon for GBA, Phantom hourglass for the DS and Beautiful Katamari. these games allmost have nothing in common but they are all great and as soon as i finish them i cant wait to pick them up again.

What do you think makes a great game?

What makes a game fun? Perhaps.....
Intriguing story/plot that makes you wanna play more to unveil everything?
Interactive Gameplay which is smooth, has depth but aint too tedious to be frustrating?
Unique mechanics in the form of controls, gameplay, battle system?
Game that brings laughter and joy through multiplayer while maintaining competitiveness?

I guess there are many factors, and sometimes people just love the game overall and it's hard to pinpoint what's so fun about it xD

hmmm... depends on what kind of game we talking bout, if its an rpg game, i would like good story, characters with personalities and relevance to the story, lots of surprises and twists, alot to uncover original and motivating gameplay, as for other games, good replay value, different angle in gaming and also originality, i dont like posers

What makes a game fun (for me)?

The way I like it. When I get interested with it. The style in playing da' game. If the Graphics is just A Okay. IF the the gameplay is good And If I can enjoy it, it'll be fun(well, duh if you obviously enjoy it, it'll be fun)......(dotx3)

hmm....engaging story, excellent audio and visual presentation(doesn't have to be ground breaking though), and a gameplay that would keep you entertained till the very end Arclight_Blue
