Game research #3; Thuan

Ok the genres that i will be researching are "fighting"(street fighter, KOF, DOA), "platform" (mario, Sonic, Megaman), and "rpg"(zelda, final fantasy).

Platformers involve going from one end of a level to the other by travelling or jumping
across platforms. There are many variations of this with games substituting jumping
with bouncing or swinging etc. The main elements of these types of games are running,
jumping, climbing ladders and ledges. Other elements which vary in this genre include
shooting eg. Contra and fighting.


Generally the objective of a fighting game would be to fight with your opponent until they die/run out of health and at the same time avoid being killed. Modern fighting games have different modes the player can choose such as having time limits, story mode, versus (play against another person), training. Fighting is controlled by a combination of buttons pressed which perfom specific moves/ attacks.still gotta do research on rpgs...... in my documentation ill also include online variations of the genres just to analyse their graphics, functionality, userbitlity etc.
