The Discussion Thread - The 14th Annual Greatest Games Event

27 (incorrect guesses - Resident Evil 4)
- Whilst conservation of ammo was a feature of the first game in the series, in this sequel you’ll have a supply that is pretty much limitless.
- Seeing as this game is a lot more action-orientated and combat heavy than its predecessor, the abundance of ammo makes sense.
- Sees a return to pre-rendered backgrounds, after the previous game had fully 3D environments.
- You switch back and forth between two playable characters as you progress through the game. One of these was the only playable character in the previous game (which was the first game in the series).

26 - Super Mario Galaxy 2
- Find every main collectible in the game and you’ll then get the opportunity to double your haul, as more of the same collectible appear (although different coloured), hidden in the levels you’d previously played.
- If you find all of these additional collectibles, then you’ll be able to play one more additional level.
- This additional level is notoriously hard - especially when the game asks you to achieve perfection in the final run.

24
- Avoid picking up items early on, and you may come across an additional enemy that will reward you upon defeat.
- This additional enemy is linked to the previous game in the series.
- One of the main locations you visit in this game, is also visited early on in game 23 on my list.

23
- In reference to game 24’s first clue - in this game you’ll find out how this enemy came to be.
- The main playable character in this game has a link to the additional enemy referenced in game 24.
- The events of this game take place both before and after the events of game 24 in my list.

22
- As you play through this game, it helps to pay attention to what you’ve seen, what you’ve heard, and what you’ve been told, as that knowledge will come in handy later.
- One of the playable characters in this game first appeared in an earlier game (of a different genre) from the same developer.
- The playable character referenced above can take flight in both games, although his method for doing so is different in each game.

20 - Donkey Kong Country
- A bonus room accessed through another bonus room? Now that’s pretty sneaky.
