What makes games fun?
Everyone has their own opinion about what makes a good game. But a game usually needs good graphics, interesting stories, characters and nice music to make it enjoyable. Other aspects that are important include:
Gameplay
How the game plays is very important. While the look of games has changed a lot over the years it is gameplay that makes you want to play a game. Games must be fun and entertaining.
Difficulty
Challenge is really important in games. If the game is too hard you might become frustrated with it and give up. If a game is too easy you might finish it too quickly and find it boring. Games need to balance these two extremes.
Feedback
Giving the player feedback is also important. This could be a simple score or unlocking skills or extra levels for players who do very well.
Here are some model responses:
I liked __________ because it had good music.
I thought __________ was the best game because it had simple controls.
The best game was _________ because it was challenging and I wanted to beat my score each time.
