So, what do you think makes a good game?

Here are a few ideas:

• A good game is fun to play: that's the most important thing!
  
  
• A good game is usually one that you want to come back to again and again and AGAIN. It is compelling, which means that there is something that makes you want to come back and play it. It might be that you have to overcome the evil monster, or find some treasure, or rescue somebody, but you HAVE to go back to do it!
  
  
• It has loads to do and explore and you may even get lost! It might have many layers, and even unknown areas that you might not find when you first play it.
  
  
• It has levels so that it gets harder and harder as you go further into the game: it's a challenge for you to do it (which makes you want to come back to play it again and again!)
  
  
• A good game makes you use your hand-eye coordination, so it makes you watch and react to what is happening, and the more you do it, the faster you get!
  
  
• A good game makes you think… Doh!
  
  
• A good game looks and sounds exciting - it uses graphics, animations and sound to make it look like another world.
  
  
• A good game might have a story that you must follow in order to finish it.
