Well that's you. Some people replay games over and over because of the high replayability. Replayable games are very common: online multiplayer games are played over and over again. Fighting games, shooting games, racing games, all have replayable aspects to them.

The difference between starfox and the genres you mentioned is the p v p aspect. You're almost always going to replay a fighting game to play with someone else (either online or couch co op). Since starfox is defined by neither, you can't apply the same "replayable" quality that the other genres have.

You don't need a pvp dimension for a game to be replayable. Speedrunners play hours upon hours of single player games because they like the challenge of aiming for shorter and shorter times. A similar concept applies to gamers who play single-player games aiming for higher and higher scores.
