I recently purchased a game for PS2 called Rayman: Raving Rabbids. The game is a hilarious series of mini-games that definitely earns the title of "party" game.
When I went onto the Raving Rabbids website, I noticed the game was made by Ubisoft and thus decided what other great games
they were making (assuming of course that Raving Rabbids was not their only good
game). As you can see from above, the game is a cartoon-like animation where the rabbits stand on two legs, weild plungers, and love to scream at the top of their lungs. Naturally, I assumed the other games would be similar in design.
How very wrong I was...
Unlike the game before, this game is detail-oriented, realistic graphics which if fitting given the game topic. Tom Clancey's EndWar is a game designed to represent World War III, the worst and last world war. Gamers choose a country to represent as they battle their way through nuclear warfare. The game has none of the laughter from Rayman's minigames. It seemed odd how these two very different games could come from within the same company.
Looking on I found this...
Shaun White's Snowboarding video game-a sports game! The production company Ubisoft has a wide variety of games which surprised me because I figured that production houses would specialized in a particular style of design. The more I learn about this industry, the more I find that the companies must have many faces in order to make a profit and be quote-on-quote 'well-known'.
Lots and lots of people creating games...
ReplyDeleteyour images really do point to the differences in the games, and it's not just the scenery it's the whole approach to game play that's different in each.
Is the film industry different form this?
