Choosing a home video game
Games are expensive, so it's important to choose one you'll play with for a while. Here are tips for making wise choices:
1. What sound effects are in the game? Will you want to listen to them for hours and hours?
2. Are the graphics interesting enough to keep you playing the game over and over again?
3. What's the warranty on the game? Who is responsible for repairs - you or the manufacturer?
4. Are the directions clear and easy to understand?
5. Is the game challenging, yet not too hard? Nobody wants a game that's impossible to win.
6. Can your system run the game as it is? Or do you need to buy more equipment?
7. Friends are a good source of information. Try a game at a friend's house a few times before you buy it yourself.
8. Renting games is a good way to try a game, too.
9. Game magazines often rate games. Usually, they rate games separately on graphics, sound effects, and level of challenge. These ratings give players a chanceto choose a game based on the factors that are most important to them.
10. Most of all - is this game fun? And is it one you'll want to play again and again?
