I personally think that a good story line means a lot and play an essential element for a good game, other features will help as well. But mostly it's all about the story. :yawn:

Storyline....could be what role i am playing in the game. Do i feel i am in it? As a hero, adventurer, tennis player, driver etc The game system. The user interface and how you need to control the game must be simple and clear as possible. Being easy or hard ...........Too easy no challenge........Too hard........fustrating

What makes a game good? Hm,...Well, a good storyline is important, okay. But do Shooters (especially Sidescrolling Shooters like Contra Advance) need a intelligent story? I think, here are gameplay and the graphic-effects more important than story. Because, you WANT to shoot around at your enemies and enjoy the big, brilliant explosions and other effects.That, what a "good" game needs, is esential to the genre.

Storyline is key for GBA's. There's no way that graphic quality for these games can compete with those on other consoles/ systems. A good story line would leave you tons of extra stuff to do and it pulls the gamer through the game, challenging or not. Why do you think most of the best games on GBA's ( in my humble opinion) are RPG's like the GS series, Yggdra Union, AW series, FF series, Riviera, SROW 1 & 2, etc,etc ? Storyline people. Good ones prosper, bad ones falter.

I think its all about gameplay. A game doesn't need the craziest graphics to be cool.

Good games have to have a good story line, and lots to do in it. Graphics don't nessisarly matter as much, because look at all the classic games, their graphics are not that good, but still are good.

I think the major part of a game is the story line but the game play is also very important. Graphics aren't that important but can help out a game overall.

No game can be good without good mechanics/play control. Beyond that, it needs sufficiently good story/characters to get the player engaged, and enough length/difficulty to keep them that way. The video game industry is still flooded with horrible games that have great graphics. And some of the most popular modern games first showed up on the SNES, and still have the 16-bit graphics of that system. That should tell you something.

I say the graphics, and the maps of the game, because if the maps are changed, the whole game is changed too.

all that has been said.everything listed and some even which aren't listed are what makes up a game. and a game won't be a hit without those factors. i do check everything before going on choosing and buying games. it provides me an assurance that i'll have fun and a full blast of what i have.
