The gameplay in Halo can be found in any number of FPs games and that makes it pretty generic. I suppose it did at least have 45 player co-op which helped. Gears 2 - Looks to be like Gears 1 with some new gameplay mechanics and color but still Gears. Gears 2 gameplay has been copied and done several times, but Gears pacing and gameplay still feels different enough. Killzone 2 - Nothing about that games seems new. Portal - Brought a fresh new gun to the mix Half-Life 2 - Was heavily physics based FPS in a world where there were not a lot of physics based FPS's. They also introduced us to the gravity gun. Bioshock - Plasmids brought a semi-new twist to console players and the atmosphere was amazing. |
