Most "casual" gamers dont have good reflexes so they shouldn't be playing platforming games like this. If they put it on Auto-Pilot, I think they would play games like bejewled or something or Halo 3 on super easy(just shoot stuff. PUSH RT and you win) or Guitar Hero on beginner mode(press w/e). But I think it's a good idea for people who never played a platforming game more into it to show how to play. |
Yeah, some people act like the games have a tag and you have to show a core or casul ID before buying games.
Anyway, I don't agree with you about this not beign a game for "casuals". I mean, if you put casual as your grandmother, then yeah, this might not be the game. But if you're talking simply about people who play videogames less then, say, 10 hours a week, or doesn't play alone, or used to play in the nes days or so and had got out of it, people who are now in their mid 40s or 50s but had contact with videogame, and women (ha, if this was any other topic I could never get away saying that :P) then this game is as much of a bridge game as it gets.
Also, non-gamers have a ridiculously hard timing trying to coordinate themselves on 3D words, even in simply and intuitive system like what you find in B&W on the computer, let alone using thubstics. "easy" FPSs? Never. No matter how easy. They may not die, but they won't move properly wither, it just won't make sense, while Mario you have a D-Pad and 2 buttons and just two directions.
Bejewled and Guitar Hero on the other hand are better examples, they're kind of like Wii Sports or Wii Fit in this sense, but still, as far as "gamier" games go, nothing beats 2D Marios as bridges.
