*Makeup MP4 - Option 3

A game that demonstrates realistic graphics is NBA 2K12. The graphics are so realistic it almost looks like you are watching a real basketball game. A game that demonstrates abstract graphics is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. It presents the player with the fantasy world of Hyrule which has many amazing components far from anything even fathomable in the real world.

A great 2D game is Super Mario Bros. Wii. The game is played in two dimensions, and the player can only move on a horizontal and vertical plain. Another Mario game that is 3D rather than 2D is Super Mario 64. The player can move in three dimensions: either forward or back, left or right, and up or down.

A game that presents the player with a first-person view is James Bond: Goldeneye for N64. The player sees through the eyes of the character, and will often only see their hand with a weapon as a representation of his/her existence. Another James Bond game with a third-person view rather than a first-person view is James Bond: From Russia With Love. In this case, the player does not see through the characters eyes and is rather an outside viewer. They can clearly see the character in its entirety when playing.

A real world to game world game is Tony Hawk Pro-Skater. Players can duplicate skateboard grinds and flip tricks with a simple push of a button or a flick of an analog stick.

One of my favorite story lines in a video game exists in Marc Ecko's Getting Up. It has a deep story involving street crime, vandalism and graffiti, and corrupt government officials. You can tell a game has a great story line when you can easily picture it being a movie, which is how I feel in this case.
