3 is… Best game I’ve ever played
ahh you had to pick the hardest one to answer, lol
uhh, you know if I could think back to the one game I could have the most fun in for hours, even with no particular goal in mind, I’d probably just point to Banjo Tooie. A lot of people say that it was a weak sequel to Banjo Kazooie but I really don’t get that.
The game had a great sense of continuity, being that you literally start in front of Banjo’s house from the last game, but everything is still different, and you retain all your moves from the last time and rareware, god bless them, made re-learning your moves via tutorial completely OPTIONAL, and there were new moves still that you learned through out the game.
The characters were charming, the dialogue was clever, the world seemed more connected and fleshed out than the first game, there were more bosses and so much to do, and Grant Kirkhope lent his musical genius to the series again.
It’s hard for me to think of anything bad to say about this game, but it’s been a long time since I last played. Still, I only have fond memories of this game.
7 is… a game I’ll never forget.
That’s a pretty long list, yo. Among the ones who are so burned into my skull though, I’d say Super Mario Bros. 1, 2 ( USA ), 3, RPG, 64 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Pokemon Red/Blue. Those games will be burned into my memory way more than the others are.
You can’t go wrong with Sonic, if there’s anything that’s remained consistently good throughout the series, it’s the music. Even the Genesis stuff sounds fantastic. I think Sonic 3 and Knuckles stands out in particular to me, but Generations ( either version ) compiles and remixes some of the best songs in the series.
Runner up is Super Smash Bros. Melee for really nice quality.
9… a game I turn the volume off every time I play.
…I generally like to play with the volume on. I can’t think of any examples… but I have to turn the volume down every time I finish a day in Pikmin 3. The results screen sounds really grating on the ears ( it’s a horrible remix of the result screen from the last few pikmin games. )
