Games with the best re-play value
« on: September 26, 2007, 11:58:55 AM »
You know the games I'm talking about; the ones you played and beat for the first time years ago but still manage to entertain the hell out of you when going through them again.

Here are a couple of mine:

Super Metroid

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Illusion of Gaia

Civ
Age of Empires
Old platformers like Mario and Sonic
A Link to the Past
Goldeneye 64.  It's been around for ten years, and it's still a favorite to play with friends.  I wonder if Halo's going to be around after ten years?

Disgaea 1 and 2 have pretty high replay value for strategy RPGs.  They're more non-linear and feature a lot of possibilities for gameplay, while many similar titles are more "play through it once" sorts of games.  They also don't have deadly serious storylines, which is a nice change from the typical "WE HAVE TO SAVE THE WORLD BLAH BLAH BLAH" deal you usually see.

One game is worthy of this title to me:

Super Mario World.  And while Super Mario Bros 3 may be considered "better" no game has come closer to perfection then SMW.

Its also the game I have completed the most times.

somehow i can't replay (as i can't reread). In Morrowind case, since my 2nd character i started cheating, didn't want to 'train' all the way again, and never done any quest, just exploiting modifications. Same goes to Oblivion, last time i didn't go for main quest, didn't want to ruin the wilderness with stupid gates and beasts.

Grand Theft Auto 3 <- Is my winner of replays.

I like San Andreas over Vice City, just because the map is so much bigger and more varied. Plus the 2 player spots are great fun  :D Me and my friend used to spend hours playing 2 player mode, my friend would usually drive the bike and I'd sit on the back and be the gunner, made police chases a lot more interesting since I could shoot out their tires, gas tanks and drivers pretty well. You could also auto target cars and helicopters which made things interesting. Or the other thing that was fun was having duels between us :D 2 player mode quickly replaced single player turns as the preferred play style.

As for cheating in Morrowind, that is probably one of the most fun games to cheat in. Especially if you used the editing tools to make insanely enchanted items. I loved giving myself 250 jump, 10000 archery and tonnes of Mana and just going around wiping out ton after town like some sort of unstoppable ninja.

Fallout was another game that was great for replay, and also a lot of fun to cheat in once you beat it.

Baldur's Gate 2 was most excellent for third- or fourth-run cheating.  I adored giving myself thousands upon thousands of experience points and then use legit equipment to wipe the hell out of my enemies.  ;D

I still have Super Mario RPG.  I haven't played it in years.  My fave has to be Super Mario Kart 'cause hubby and I used to play it against each other.  Much fun competition! 
I am the champ!   :clap: 
I'll have to hook the game system up, again...   ;D

Oh, oh, I forgot Yoshi's Story!  That game was so unbearably cute I couldn't help but play it over and over, especially given that there are about a million level combinations you can use to complete the game.

and F-Zero, that was a sweet game. Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore and Street Fighter II should also be on this list along with Mario Paint :D

SNES had so many good titles.
