Seeking A Game That Can Trick Me Kotaku Australia

27.11.09

I pushy it hard for video games to be unpredictable.

Not that I make games. I play them. And by playing them, I try to examine them and assess their resilience, as if tapping their fender and poking the tires, slamming the doors a few times to make guaranteed they don’t stick and assessing that, okay this thing is sturdy, before I’ve ever driven it.

I am, while doing this, hoping for a take aback.

I want to know everything about a game before I play it but also be caught off guard by it as it unfolds, and I don’t want anyone m that a paradox.

I want to know the scale of the thing and its scope. I check menu screens and Cup lists to determine how many levels the game has. I start a game, just barely, and I check what proportion the game says I’ve completed, to determine how much more I’ve got. I check level lists. All in-devices, of course. Consulting outside sources would be cheating. Through these means I determine that New Super Mario Bros. Wii has at least eight worlds and that Assassin’s Teaching II employs a rarely-seen level-counting trick.
