213CR- Concept Development For Games Design

· Gears Of War – Action/Adventure – 2: because of dialogue, graphics, mood and gameplay. Survival Horror/Soldier Concept and you take on the role of lead character Marcus Fenix, who leads an elite human group, the COGS, on a series of missions in an attempt to save humanity and drive out the Locust Hordes. This makes the game good because without such a good story and character development, it would probably be just another average third person shooter. The mood of the game makes it seem darker than other third person shooters because of the survival horror element.

· Call Of Duty 4 – FPS

· Metal Gear Solid 4 – Action/Adventure

· Guitar Hero – Music/Rhythm Simulation

· Rock Band – Music/Rhythm Simulation

· FIFA - Sports

· Pro Evolution Soccer – Sports – 3: because of unrealism and non-existing licensing of teams and players, but good gameplay and online community. Fast paced football sim where you can take charge of your favourite team and lead them to victory in a range of cups, leagues and tournaments. The implementation of the games concept for Pro Evo makes the game good because of the smooth gameplay that is seen in real life football. There are also tons of skill moves and trademark tricks that make the game even more realistic. The online play also makes the game have a longer lasting life, as does the master league mode. It can also make it bad because of the sometimes unrealistic movements of the players. The sounds of the stadium and the fans make the game sound good as well as look good because they are recorded straight from an actual football ground.

· Oblivion – RPG – 1 because of massive setting, replayability, graphics, dialogue and story. Fantasy World action oriented setting where you can roam around the huge world and trade, upgrade and sell various items such as armour and potions. You also battle huge mythical beasts and attempt to shut down the 15 Oblivion Gates that have opened up across the land. The free roaming concept of this game makes it an excellent game because without this, you wouldn’t get the feeling that there is so much to see, unlock and explore. It would be just another generic RPG if it was too linear in the levels. The story makes the game a great concept because it can branch out depending on how you play the game. Also there is a lot of characterisation that can affect how you play the game.
