Posts: 1,875 | Tough call between open-ended and linear games. I remember playing the PC game Freelancer. IMO, the game was really fun, but half way through the game, the story basically ends and you continue to level up, until you are so powerful, nothing can stop you, and you just sort of meander about aimlessly. Find the monkey and robot planets, nothing else to do. I heard they are making a sequel, though.
On the other hand, games like Halo are too linear. I sincerely hope that Oblivion is somewhere confortably in the middle this time. Not too linear, but enough to keep the game fun and interesting. |
