Mario Kart has weapons, but no combat? Unlikely. Tetris also has a VS mode. But the question you need to ask yourself is which of those games have an identifiable "enemy?" Anytime there is one, there is a way to beat them. VS mode in Guitar Hero, and Tetris. Every form of Mario Kart has ways to beat the opponents down. Sims I know nothing about, but so far as I know there is nothing that could harm you beyond possible poor decision making on the part of the player. Silent Hill does have enemies, and you don't fight them. You run. There is no combat. Allow me to quote wikipedia for a moment "Combat has been removed from the game with emphasis placed instead on evading encounters with monsters entirely." You can check any number of reviews if you like. Please go and read up on the game before you try to make any statements about it. It is entirely impossible to have an intelligent discussion if one side is unfamiliar with the very basics of the topic. |
Firstly, I honestly wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic. The last Silent Hill game I played had combat, although that was a little while ago admitedly. When did they decide to completely remove combat? The franchise itself, has had combat though.
I also find your definition of "combat" to be a bit shaky. I don't see VS mode as being combat, but having someone else as your challenge. The Sims has no combat whatsoever (actually why I found it completely boring). You could say the same for a lot of god games, or a game like Wii Play (or a lot of the Wii games) or the majority of adventure games. I admit, Mario Kart was a bit of a silly choice, but what about Gran Turismo, or Race Driver GRID, or any Rally/racing game.
